The Mud, the Blood, and the Beer! (Garrett Walls)

In this episode of Break/Fix we’re speaking with Garrett Walls, who some of you may recognize from CHAZ’s Used Auto Parts and who also happens to be a GTM sponsor, winning our "Sponsor of the Year" award in 2018. We’re not going to talk too much about used parts or the yard, but instead, we plan to dive into a conversation about the world of Dirt Track racing!
