After-Hours with Faction! Motorsports

We kick off 2026 with a laid-back Q&A covering what’s ahead for the podcast, upcoming travel plans, drifting goals, shop life, and plenty of off-the-cuff conversations. From planning podcast trips and talking cars to health habits, motorcycles, and random listener questions, this episode sets the tone for the year ahead.Check out our Sponsors!AG1:Check out our AG1 affiliate link:⁠https://shop.drinkag1.com/FACTION⁠You will receive a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler, plus a bottle of Vitamin D3+K2 with your AG1 Welcome Kit, when you first subscribe (a $72 value!).⁠⁨@drinkAG1⁩ ⁠ #ag1partnerEAST COAST DRIFT SCHOOL:@eastcoastdriftschoolCHASE BAYS:@chasebayshttps://www.chasebays.com/COUPON CODE:chasebaysafterhoursLIMITLESS AUTO FAB:@limitless_auto_fabhttps://limitlessautofab.com/RAMSTEAD MFG:https://ramsteadmfg.com/We have a Patreon!

Michael Russo of 9NINE2 and Reese Marin sit down with us to talk about drifting across Europe and Japan, documenting the trips, and how years of persistence in media and motorsports turned into real opportunities. The conversation moves through travel, drifting culture overseas, creative work, and the long road that comes with building a life around it.Michael Russo: @thakingofhearts @9nine2Reese Marin: @reesemarinCheck out our Sponsors!AG1:Check out our AG1 affiliate link:⁠https://shop.drinkag1.com/FACTION⁠You will receive a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler, plus a bottle of Vitamin D3+K2 with your AG1 Welcome Kit, when you first subscribe (a $72 value!).⁠⁨@drinkAG1⁩ ⁠ #ag1partnerEAST COAST DRIFT SCHOOL:@eastcoastdriftschoolCHASE BAYS:@chasebayshttps://www.chasebays.com/COUPON CODE:chasebaysafterhoursLIMITLESS AUTO FAB:@limitless_auto_fabhttps://limitlessautofab.com/RAMSTEAD MFG:https://ramsteadmfg.com/We have a Patreon!

The Christmas episode features the crew hanging out with Anthony Rizzo and catching up on cars, drifting, shop life, and what everyone has been dealing with heading into the holidays. The conversation moves through current projects, work schedules, money, the realities of running businesses, and how people are navigating a busy and expensive time of year. Along the way, they touch on car builds, driving, industry changes, and day-to-day situations that come up both in and outside the shop.Check out our Sponsors!AG1:Check out our AG1 affiliate link:⁠⁠https://shop.drinkag1.com/FACTION⁠⁠You will receive a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler, plus a bottle of Vitamin D3+K2 with your AG1 Welcome Kit, when you first subscribe (a $72 value!).⁠⁠⁨@drinkAG1⁩ ⁠⁠ #ag1partnerEAST COAST DRIFT SCHOOL:@eastcoastdriftschoolCHASE BAYS:@chasebayshttps://www.chasebays.com/COUPON CODE:chasebaysafterhoursLIMITLESS AUTO FAB:@limitless_auto_fabhttps://limitlessautofab.com/RAMSTEAD MFG:https://ramsteadmfg.com/We have a Patreon!
