Ep.139 – The Poster, Pt.1 (featuring Deb Williams, Tom Jensen)

Tim Richmond is one of NASCAR’s most legendary and controversial characters. Considered an icon of the 1980s, his actual biography has been well documented over the years, but unfortunately, much of the attention has been on his death and fallout with NASCAR. What this has covered over is some of the funnier legends about Tim, MOST NOTABLY “The Poster,” an incident from 1987 that no two people have the same opinion on. You can see the full story on our new Amazon Prime series, or check out the extended interviews in this episode, with journalists Deb Williams and Tom Jensen setting up the background of the story. Thanks again to Continental Tire and Acura for making it all happen.

Ep.138 – VIR Extended, Kerrigan Smith

Kerrigan Smith is a known entity within the sportscar paddock because he’s served so many roles over the course of so many years, so to see him elevated to the role of track president, as a true racer, makes him easy to root for. Originally brought on as a manager, Kerrigan’s leadership, ability to work with a team, yet also be incredibly hands-on and not above any job, makes him uniquely suited to take on the duties as VIR’s track President. This episode is specifically tailored to anyone who wants to know more about the day-to-day of running a road course. You can see the full story on our new Amazon Prime series but listen to his extended interview here. Dinner was served at the South Course timing tower, provided by Aunt Millie’s Pizza. Thanks again to Continental Tire and Acura for making it all happen.

Ep.137 – VIR Extended, Connie Nyholm

While VIRginia International Raceway as we know it may have been resurrected with the initiative of Harvey Siegel, the actual implementation wouldn’t have been possible without the boots-on-the-ground, no BS attitude of Connie Nyholm. Finding her success in New York Real Estate, Connie grew up just a few miles away from VIR, providing an understanding of local culture, as well as connections, to establish the credibility that a couple of “outsiders” would need to make it happen. 20 years after breaking ground, Connie is now the owner of the track, but still very involved in the day-to-day operation. You can see the full story on our new Amazon Prime series but listen to her extended interview here. Dinner was served at the Oak Tree Tavern, located inside of VIRginia International Raceway. Thanks again to Continental Tire and Acura for making it all happen.

Ep. 136 – VIR Extended, Harvey Siegel

VIRginia International Raceway as we know it today, simply wouldn’t exist without the initiative of Harvey Siegel. A lifelong vintage racer who found great success in New York Real Estate, Harvey combined his passions to resurrect the legendary track that originally shut down in 1974. As a self-described “Jewish Boy from New York,” trying to convince the locals of Alton, Virginia that rebuilding the historic track some 20 years later was in the best interest of the community was a unique process, and one uniquely suited to this quirky character, You can see the full story on our new Amazon Prime series, but listen to his extended interview here. Lunch was served at the Tewksbury Inn in Oldwick, NJ, courtesy of course of Continental Tire and Acura.

“Dinner with Racers” Expands Video Series on Amazon Prime”

PASADENA, Calif. (November 26, 2019) –Following four years of life on the road recording some of motorsport’s greatest storytellers, as well as an episode with Ryan Lewis, “Dinner with Racers” is proud to announce a new addition to the successful podcast. Combining the unique storytelling sensibilities of hosts Ryan Eversley and Sean Heckman with the team’s background in television production, a six-part video docuseries launches today, for free, to Amazon Prime subscribers.

Most importantly, this now validates the repeated comments from casual friends and family who have told the group that they “haven’t watched all of the podcasts yet.”

Running under the same name as the podcast, “Dinner with Racers” debuts with the same diversity of stories as the audio series, with all episodes focusing on completely different topics, all 30 to 60 minutes in length. The first three episodes are available now. Availability is currently limited to Amazon subscribers in the US and UK.

All episodes come with the trademark support of Continental Tire, who remains the key partner in both the video and podcast series, as well as Acura, who continued to aid the group with the traditional MDX for the trip.

Beginning a brand-new journey in 2019, the team traveled over 50,000 miles during a seven-month production cycle, traveling to restaurants and locales around the U.S., as well as Jamaica, shedding light on a variety of untold and forgotten tales.

The series’ podcast will remain unchanged, with recordings happening concurrently throughout the year and the traditional “binge release” happening throughout December, including five episodes out now.

Sticking to the series’ theme of diversity in stories and themes, the new docuseries topics range from examining the racing scene in a Caribbean island to exploring the career of one of racing’s most controversial car builders, to the most legendary prank of all time, and even an episode dedicated exclusively to Bobby Unser stories… in cartoon form.

For series co-host and co-producer Ryan Eversley, the next step of the “Dinner with Racers” brand is an exciting one.

“It’s been a heck of an adventure in 2019,” stated Ryan Eversley. “Taking on this series with such a small group was a monumental task, but I believe we can all take pride in the final product. I think fans of our show will love this adaptation. We didn’t just want to film ourselves eating, we wanted to really take this project to the next level with a proper docuseries, hopefully, that effort shows. We couldn’t have done this if our partners at Continental Tire had not shown a great willingness to step up our efforts, and of course, Acura who has played a big role in both the series and my career. None of this would have happened if we didn’t have the best fans in the world, who continue to show their love and support, which is what makes this possible.”

For co-host and co-producer Sean Heckman, a similar sentiment is shared.

“Sure.”

The episode listing is below, with viewers encouraged to subscribe to the full season to stay informed of new episodes.

Trading Paints, Dinner with Racers to Partner in Upcoming eSports League

Trading Paints, Dinner with Racers to Partner in Upcoming eSports League


LOS ANGELES (April 11, 2019) –
Extending the word “partnership” to the world of motorsport podcasts and race simulation plugins, the popular podcast Dinner with Racers and their upcoming Continental Tire Cup eSports league have announced a formal partnership with Trading Paints, a popular third-party application for the popular consumer racing simulation, iRacing.

In accordance with most motorsport press releases, the goal of this announcement is to see just how long a written release can be extended.


Dinner with Racers
is widely known as the highest downloaded podcast involving pro-am sportscars and food within the continental United States. The series revolves around an on-going road trip between hosts Ryan Eversley and Sean Heckman, meeting up for a meal with a variety of personalities within the sport including: drivers, engineers, team owners, journalists, and even Ryan Lewis. Debuting in the winter of 2015, the year of 2019 marks the fifth year of the series, which has produced over 100 “dinners” in the process.

Trading Paints is a popular third-party application for the iRacing motorsport simulation, allowing participants to upload unique car liveries, often emulating their favorite racers or simply coming up with some creative concepts of their own. The brainchild of creator Steve Luvender, Trading Paints is widely considered the most used application within iRacing, currently boasting 80,000+ members.


Recognizing the popularity of eSports, this joint venture serves as a testament to the commercial viability of both ventures, who in no way are trying to inflate their profiles via a long-winded press release.

Starting his career as a mechanic-turned driver, the career of Dinner with Racers co-creator Ryan Eversley has been a long, but enjoyable one. Working as a crew member on a number of sportscar programs in the early 2000’s, the likable Georgia native never let go of his dreams to get behind the wheel, which over the years became a reality through dedication and perseverance. First getting behind the wheel of a variety of touring cars, Eversley balanced a career of pro racing and professional instruction throughout the late 2000’s until eventually landing a full-season opportunity in the IMSA Challenge series, where his career really began to flourish. Winning a variety of ST-category races, his career continued to gain momentum through not only his winning exploits, but his propensity for fan engagement, especially through burgeoning social media platforms.

This all culminated for Ryan in 2015 when he landed the dream opportunity to race for a proper factory program, joining Real-Time Racing and HPD/Acura Motorsports to compete in the Acura TLX as part of the World Challenge series, where he went on to take multiple victories during the car’s two-year history. This effort would then transfer towards the flagship Acura NSX GT3 program in 2017, where Eversley’s campaign would deliver multiple podium finishes as well.

Finally, his career would hit its nexus in 2018, when the newly released Honda Civic Type R would make its North American racing debut in the World Challenge TCR ranks, with Eversley quickly delivering victory right out of the box, generating momentum that was near ceaseless en route to winning the TCR championship on debut for both driver and car.

Long known for his active interaction with fans and crew, the creation of “Dinner with Racers” has been the latest extension of Ryan’s goals to entertain. Always looking for new ways to make his fans feel welcome, the fostering of the Continental Tire Cup is the next step in everyone’s efforts.

Forging a relationship with Trading Paints is something that Eversley not only enjoys, but is a great statement on the future of the entire program.

“This is an amazing extension of both of our brands,” stated Eversley. “Dinner with Racers is a fan engaged platform with a special attention to mold-breaking, out-of-the-box thinking, with a special aim at being disruptors. Our iRacing league is just the next extension of that, and to formalize a meaningful partnership with Steve Luvender and his entire staff at Trading Paints is just the next step. Trading Paints is an incredible program, with invaluable reach and demonstrating tremendous growth. The value behind our two brands aligning is without comparison, and I think when people see just what kind of opportunities are in store they’ll realize why this collaboration is inevitable.”

For Steve Luvender, the opportunity to align Trading Paints with a brand as prestigious as Dinner with Racers is unmistakable.

A native of Pennsylvania, Luvender has combined his unique capabilities with coding, merged with writing, user-interface creation, user experience methodology, and an ability to merge these all in to creative-content generation, to become a venerable force within the motorsport industry.

While having not only created the 80,000-member strong Trading Paints, Luvender is also a frequent contributor to NASCAR.com, and the creator of a number of entertaining motorsport-based web applications. These applications range from the heralded “NASCAR Random Fantasy Racing,” to the “NASCAR Cup Series Sponsor Generator,” “NASCAR Fan Complaint Generator,” “NASCAR Rumor Mill Generator,” and much, much more.

Known for bringing a creative edge and understanding the millennial audience, Steve’s grasp on the cult of humor and unique approach is signature to his trademark, and it is in this line of thinking that a joint venture with “Dinner with Racers” makes this a standout alignment.

“It’s a great merging of efforts,” stated Luvender. “Dinner with Racer’s creates a visceral and bespoke approach to their content creation, so the opportunity to co-brand on their motorsport simulation venture is a great coming-together for both houses. We’re both emphatic on building a growing project together, and it is with mutually beneficial set of goals that we seek to grow our partnership, cross-promote our brands, and organically seek out synergies across a number of burgeoning platforms. Ryan and Sean have been demonstrable in their progressive thinking, and I’m certain between all of our properties we can enjoy a strong bond, generating real results.”

For Dinner with Racers’ Sean Heckman, the forged partnership is only the beginning.

While Heckman also began his motorsport legacy behind-the-wheel, career complications would put the California-native in a unique position to turn his degree from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in to a full-time career in film and television at the age of 22.

Having a life-long love of production, Sean’s career would begin in scripted production, working on a number of NBC and FOX sitcoms, as well as being on the ground floor of hit NBC forensic drama, “Crossing Jordan.” Taking his production talents to tell real-life stories, Sean would eventually cross in to documentary television where he enjoyed tremendous career growth, producing on such notable shows as History’s “Modern Marvels,” “The UFO Files,” and a number of other cable documentary programs.

Combined with his love of motorsports, Sean would venture in to his own production business, TMB Creative, where he has continued to produce a number of television and commercial projects, and additionally going beyond the screen to work with a number of companies and motorsport entities to develop bespoke and customized digital content, from written releases, to web development, to unique programs that only Heckman and his group of TMB malcontents can provide.

Often heralded as a behind-the-scenes ringleader for original content and biting social commentary, the corgi-owner is excited about his team’s latest foray.

“We believe in capitalizing on every opportunity available, and that’s why Trading Paints was such a clear choice,” stated Heckman. “We believe in always providing value for our partners, that’s our number one goal at all times. Value isn’t just a word for us, it’s also a noun, and with that noun comes a meaning. That meaning isn’t lost on someone like Steve Luvender and everyone at Trading Paints. It’s important that every partner share a will to deliver and grow together, fostering a familial environment with a common goal. We’ve found that in this pairing.”

Between the near-hundreds of thousands of Trading Paints members, and the millions of downloads from the Dinner with Racers podcasts, the idea of breaking from the norm is a true way of life in this new pairing.

As a result of this effort, a new, never-before-seen incentive package will arrive for all members of the new Continental Tire Cup iRacing league.

The person with the most incident points in each race will win a Trading Paints lanyard (or equivalent).

Ep.130 – Dave Despain

Dave Despain is one of the most beloved on-air personalities for anyone who follows American racing. An unapologetic motorcycle lover, Dave began his career as a local AM radio DJ, who somehow managed to work his way in to broadcast television, all the way to becoming the host of many popular US motorsport shows, including a favorite of Ryan and Sean’s, “Saturday Night Thunder,” and then his most famous gig, Wind Tunnel. Beyond being a state of the sport and one of the most known pro’s, he’s managed to balance the line between being professional and respected without ever losing his edge as an almost counter-culture motorsport icon.  Dinner was served at The Station in Athens, Georgia, with the music of Butterscotch Stanley taking us out. Thanks to Continental Tire for all of their support, and Acura for providing a great car.

Ep.129 – Todd Bodine

Todd Bodine is one of the more endearing personalities in NASCAR, so he seemed an obvious choice to call up when we passed through North Carolina. Part of the famous Bodine family, Todd started his career as a mechanic, then a race-winning Crew Chief, and then a driver who rose all the way to the Cup ranks. As a driver, he’s perhaps most known as a multi-time champion of the NASCAR Truck Series, and then currently enjoys his time as a television analyst and overall ambassador of the sport.  Dinner was served at Caruso’s in Mooresville, North Carolina, with the music of Vanilla Woods taking us out.

Dennis Aase may note be a household name outside of the sportscar paddock, but that’s exactly why we wanted to spend some time with him. A racer’s racer, Dennis is one of the few who was both a pro driver and a businessman, but not the traditional gentleman driver as we know it. Good enough to be a factory Toyota racer with Dan Gurney throughout the 1980’s, Dennis never took his eye off the business side of it, forming both Aase Brothers and Aasco, two of the most known performance shops known in Southern California. He’s a gritty, no BS guy, and a throwback to what makes the heyday of sportscar so great.  Breakfast was served at The Original Pancake House in Orange, California with the music of Ben Justus taking us out.

Thanks to Continental Tire for all of their support, and Acura for providing a great car.

Thanks to Continental Tire for all of their support, and Acura for providing a great car.

Ep.114 – Pierre Kleinubing

Pierre Kleinubing is probably the most decorated touring car racer that’s active today.

Ep.113 – Ozz Negri

Continuing the celebration of our sportscar roots, it doesn’t get any better than Ozz Negri.

It paid off though, as a winner of The Rolex 24 at Daytona, Petit Le Mans, and honestly one of the nicest and most liked guys in the sport.

Ep.112 – Charles Espenlaub

Labelled as “the most hated driver in sportscar,” Charles is actually a really good guy… he just never played a doctor on television. He is however, a guy who has earned his career in motorsport through true grit, working as a mechanic, a coach, and now a business owner. A guy who has had to work for everything he has, he’s also a cold-hearted snake killer, dangerous with fireworks, and about as much of a man’s man as you can be. Dinner was served at La Terressita in Tampa, Florida, with music by Yahima Riya. Thanks to Continental Tire for all of their support, and Acura for providing a great car.
