Michigan to Mexico: Interviews with AJ Allmendinger and Dawson Sutton
This week’s episode of Splash of Gas with Dave Weichert is extra special as we welcome two incredible guests from across NASCAR’s top series! First up, NASCAR Cup Series veteran AJ Allmendinger, driver of the No. 16 Chevy for Kaulig Racing, joins the show! We talk about his recent induction into the West Coast Stock Car/Motorsports Hall of Fame, what it’s like being part of the Kaulig family alongside Matt Kaulig and Chris Rice, and how he’s grown as a driver since joining the team in 2019. AJ also shares his thoughts on this season’s progress, including his impressive 4th-place finish at the Coca-Cola 600, and how close he feels to breaking through for a Cup win on an oval. Then, we catch up with rising star Dawson Sutton, driver of the No. 26 truck in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Dawson returns to the show to talk about his season, recent performances, and what’s ahead for him in the series. Dave also dives into a full recap of the action-packed weekend at Michigan International Speedway, covering ARCA, Trucks, and Cup Series storylines — from Austin Green’s momentum in ARCA to the heated Truck Series battle featuring Rajah Caruth, Corey Heim, and Ross Chastain, plus questions surrounding whether Ryan Blaney or Tyler Reddick could keep the Cup Series momentum rolling. We round things out with Fast Davey’s Bets, bold predictions for Mexico City’s debut Cup road course race, a look ahead to Berlin Raceway on the ARCA side, and more. Whether you're here for the racing insight, bold takes, or big interviews, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!
