Ahead of his CRAFTSMAN Truck Series debut this weekend at Martinsville Speedway, reigning SMART Modified Tour champion Luke Baldwin joins Davey Segal (6:49) to discuss his excitement ahead of The Paperclip and why ThorSport Racing was the right team for his first foray into NASCAR's national series.

Baldwin also explains how his preparation has been for a vehicle he's never raced before, what he and the No. 66 team are hoping to accomplish in their limited practice time and why Kansas and North Wilkesboro were the other races chosen for 2025. He also dives into his rapid ascension up the ranks, winning the SMART Modified Tour title last season as a rookie and how he even surprised himself a bit.

Plus, how his father Tommy Baldwin Jr. has helped and influenced him along the way, convincing his mom to let him race, how busy his 2025 racing schedule is, pulling triple duty this weekend, how the Northeast racing culture has shaped him thus far, what his realistic expectations are for this weekend and more.

Davey also recaps Kyle Larson's near weekend sweep from Homestead-Miami Speedway, looks ahead to The Paperclip and Papa Segal pays homage to Red Byron.
