Dinner with Racers show

Dinner with Racers

Summary: We’ve learned that the best conversations in the world of motorsport happen over dinner (and an occasional alcoholic beverage), so we’ve tricked some of the most interesting characters in the sport to sit down with us and share their tales. Some are funny, some are enlightening, some never discuss racing at all… oh well. Join hosts Ryan Eversley (factory racing driver for Acura) and Sean Heckman (proud corgi owner) as they literally drive across the country for you, the listener, so please try and not write too much hate in the comments section. This whole thing was made possible by Continental Tire, as well as Acura who haven’t objected (yet) to the mileage on Ryan’s MDX.
