Start your engines! In this episode of Billified: The Bill Moran Podcast, Bill sits down for a full-throttle, one-on-one conversation with longtime friend and motorsports superfan Race Randy—and it’s a wild ride from the very first lap. Bill kicks things off by sharing how his morning went off the rails—and why he wishes he had someone else to blame. Luckily, Randy can relate! The two look back on more than 15 years of friendship, forged over laughs, life stories, and Randy’s unstoppable love for anything with wheels. From dirt track racing and drag strips to NASCAR weekends at The Glen, Randy has lived and breathed motorsports his entire life. He’s been a mechanic for over 45 years, schedules vacations around NASCAR, collects memorabilia, and even brings Bill a special studio gift straight from his collection. Randy shares his favorite NASCAR memory—a story involving his wife, a favorite driver, and perfect timing. Bill also asks for Randy’s craziest mechanic story, and trust us… you’ll want to hear it. The two dig into how much harder it is to work on cars today, and why fewer young people are becoming technicians. But Randy is more than motors—he’s also a father, grandfather, youth sports referee, and baseball umpire. He shares his rules for raising good boys, what made him get into officiating, and the toughest coaches he ever faced. The conversation takes a turn into hometown history too, as Bill brings up “The Times of Wayne County,” Randy being featured in it, and the hilariously dramatic adult-store story Bill once experienced in 315. Randy also talks about his passion project: South Butler Raceway, which he has helped run for the last decade, plus a big update coming in 2026. And yes—he is still furious NASCAR moved The Glen race to May (“It could SNOW!”). Motors. Memories. Mechanic madness. NASCAR. Family. Friendship. Small-town stories.This episode is pure Race Randy—unfiltered, unforgettable, and full throttle.
