We are back with another heavy-hitting hour of sports talk on a May hump day! In this edition of our Ozarks Legends series, we celebrate the incredible news that local racing icon Larry Phillips is officially headed to the NASCAR Hall of Fame Class of 2027. We are joined live by his son, Terry Phillips, who shares brilliant personal insights into his father's relentless competitive fire, what it was like when future superstars like Mark Martin walked into their shop, and why Larry chose to stay an short-track hero rather than chasing the national circuit full-time. Ned also chimes in with classic historical context, recalling his own mid-1970s track-announcer days watching Larry effortlessly cut through packs at the local fairgrounds. 

Later in the hour, Art drives a hot-button analysis on the Missouri State Baseball Bears' all-conference team selections, highlighting some serious snubs ahead of the conference tournament. We also vent our frustrations over the struggling Kansas City Royals offense before welcoming John Neighbors on the line. John gives us his expert, inside-Arkansas take on the Razorbacks' current performance in the SEC tournament and evaluates their trajectory toward hosting a regional postseason bracket.
