Bringing the Heat: Jake Finch ‘Drinking Through A Fire Hydrant’ Making O’Reilly Starts With JRM

Well, I'm filling in for Trey this week, so someone's got to fill in for me, and we're doing that with producer Chris.

Chris Graham, welcome, welcome to the show, uh, that you're already on every week.

How are you doing this week?

Yeah, it feel, it feels like it at this point.

I'm, I'm somebody whether we're, uh, filling in for you, we're filling in for Trey, we're filling in for...

But late in the season, it's like we're going to the bullpen a bunch.

So, uh, yeah, glad to be here.

Good to talk with you.

Yeah, sometimes you're the anonymous voice from the sky, but we got you on the screen today.

[laughs] That's right.

So, uh, we're, we're gonna get into these topics.

The first one, the news that was made official today.

Last week it was, uh, broken by Jordan Bianchi, and, uh, today Spire Motorsports made it official, saying the rumors are true.

It's not Wednesday, or it's not Friday, but uh, we're recording this on a Wednesday.

Tomorrow will be Thursday.

Maybe you're listening to this on a Friday.

It'll be Casey Kane Friday for a number of, uh, truck series races next year in 2027.

Spire Motorsports made it official, and Casey Kane will be driving that truck full time.

What was your reaction, I guess, to seeing the news last week and then seeing it made official today?

I, yeah, we talked about it a little bit on the Happy Hour show, uh, on Tuesday night.

Great show, by the way.

If you guys didn't see that one, make sure you tune in to that one on the Front Stretch podcast network as well.

But, um, I, I'm really excited to see Casey come back.

I kind of don't understand it because he's been out of the NASCAR game for so long that it's not like there's recent experience that he has, you know, to, to fall back on.

Um, but he got the biggest dirt win of his career.
