Broadcasting legend Doug Rice joins Davey Segal this week (9:10) ahead of the return of NASCAR to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval for the Brickyard 400. Amid his final season or "Doug's Last Lap," Rice explains why now is the right time to step away, discusses the gestures tracks have done for him in his final stops to them so far this season, leaving the Performance Racing Network in good and capable hands having been there since day one and more.

Rice dives into his broadcast beginnings at Appalachian State University, reminiscing on listening to Atlanta Braves games on the radio growing up, how he got started in motorsports and with PRN at Charlotte Motor Speedway, shares some Bruton Smith and Humpy Wheeler stories, a hilarious tale of driving Richard Petty home from the airport and his relationship with Kyle Petty.

Plus, what he's most proud of as a 36-year career comes to a close, the most memorable races he's called and what the next chapter of his life, A.K.A. retirement, looks like and more.

Davey also recaps Ryan Blaney's Pocono win, previews NASCAR's return to the IMS oval this weekend and Papa Segal pays homage to another legendary crew chief.

Ep. 410 - MLB Wild Card begins + just how good is Washington? (NFL Week 4 Recap)

Vic Verchereau welcomes John Smoltz, who is an American Baseball Pitcher, Broadcaster, and Speaker.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame features the story of John Smoltz.... "Dealt to the Braves when he was only a minor league prospect, John Smoltz soon established himself as a workhorse right-handed hurler for a young team on the verge of turning the corner.  In the midst of this prolonged success, a troublesome elbow forced Smoltz the starter to become Smoltz the closer for three-and-a-half years. But Smoltz would emerge from this uncharted path to become the only player in big league history with at least 200 career wins and 150 saves".  John said, "I literally gave everything I had every single time I went out there."

To many in the Lansing area, we marveled at his career and his amazing work ethic.  Today, Lansing, Michigan's famous son is a national broadcaster and highly sought speaker for leading companies across America.  Vic Verchereau, catches up with John Smoltz to get his insight on what is needed today in business and the search for excellence.  No curve balls in this edition of the Leadership Lowdown; this one is a fast ball straight from the Hall of Fame!  Don't miss it!
