Jason Leffler drives the red/black #38 Toyota for Braun Racing in NASCAR’s Nationwide Series, but he was born and bred here in Long Beach. Leffler was honored Wednesday night at Smooth’s Bar & Grille for his career achievements in all forms of racing, and his helmet and racing suit will be hung on the walls alongside other local racing greats (including driving legend and Leffler’s mentor, Parnelli Jones!).

Leffler took some time out to sit down with me and discuss Saturday’s race in Fontana, growing up a racing fan in Long Beach and the city’s best streets for driving.

The audio is a little diffivult to hear due to a packed house at Smooth's, so you may want to read the transcription at lbpost.com to follow along.

Thanks, and good luck on Saturday Jason!

Podcast Summary

We're a bunch of guys that won't shut up about sports. The program began at Long Beach State's weekly newspaper and lives on even after graduation. We employ resident experts (and sometimes just our buddies) to answer the big questions: Is that QB helmet sticker green or yellow? Do sports commentators have better memories than goldfish? And is there anything on Earth better than Long Beach sports?

(Green, no, and no)

The famous Sports Night podcast makes its triumphant return to the airwaves with its partnership with LBPOST.com. J.J. Fiddler, Mike Guardabascio and Ryan ZumMallen began the program as writers with Cal State Long Beach's Union Weekly newspaper. But as the hosts graduated from college, so too did the program - from the office of a student newspaper to the primetime.
