About this episode

The episode discusses Dodge's potential return to NASCAR, Ford's quality control issues, and revisits a classic Dukes of Hazzard episode.

This week on The Kibbe & Friends Show, the guys kick things off by discussing the growing rumors that Dodge could return to NASCAR competition in 2027.
