About this listen

Racing With KLAS is back to kick off the 2026 racing season, and with Daytona right around the corner, the crew dives straight into racing goals, fan debates, and the realities of modern NASCAR.

Hosted by Aaron Inman and ARCA Menards Series driver Andy Jankowiak, this episode covers New Year’s racing resolutions, why it’s time for KLAS Motorsports to finally break through with a win, and what clean execution really means at the team level.

The guys also debut a new recurring segment, Digging Into the Comments, reacting to fan takes on whether people are over-romanticizing 90s and early-2000s NASCAR. From nostalgia and pop culture to racing quality and safety, they break down what fans remember — and what they forget.


Andy explains why superspeedway racing at Daytona and Talladega is still a massive driver skill challenge, why modern cars are far from “easy to drive,” and how dirty air and aerodynamics have changed racing more than most fans realize.

The episode lightens up with Underrated / Overrated / Properly Rated, touching everything from clean air and pit crews to track food, gas-station snacks, and orange juice with pulp. The crew also uncovers NASCAR merch you didn’t know existed and launches KLAS Move of the Week, celebrating racers who refuse to quit — even with broken cars.


With the Daytona test approaching and the season quickly ramping up, this episode sets the tone for what Racing With KLAS will be all year: honest racing talk, driver insight, and humor built for real fans.
