Thomas Annunziata joins Davey Segal this week (2:25) to discuss his racing background and current happenings as a part-time Xfinity Series/Trans-Am driver. He dives into how he got started racing in parking lots in New Jersey, how his dad helped with a racing background of his own, the spec miata success he had and what he learned in that discipline, moving up to Trans-Am, competing against and with drivers he's doing the same with now, like Connor Zilisch, Brent Crews, Connor Mosack and more.
Plus, he dives into his runner-up finish over the weekend in Portland, his Lime Rock Park victory in the ARCA Menards Series, improvement on ovals in the Xfinity Series, his 2026 plans, goals for the future and more, including where the nickname "Hollywood" came from, why he doesn't like Italian food and things he's learned now living by himself in North Carolina.
Davey also recaps Chase Briscoe's dominating Southern 500 win from Darlington Raceway and looks ahead to Gateway, Race No. 2 of the Round of 12 in the NASCAR Playoffs.
