On this episode we talk with Bobby Wintle, the lead promoter of The Mid South Gravel. This past weekend Stillwater, Oklahoma experienced unprecedented wildfires that burnt thousands of acres of forests and grass lands, destroyed wildlife habitats and farmland, took over 70 homes, and ultimately cancelled one of gravel’s most beloved events. We sit down with Bobby to process through the highs and lows and aftermath from this weekend. This is by far our most emotionally charged podcast as we let Bobby talk through all the feelings, actions, and timeline of the entire Mid South week. This is also the first video podcast we’ve done and will be released on Mid South’s Youtube very soon. -Thank you to all the first responders who tirelessly worked to keep everyone safe. Because of them, there were no reported deaths and hundreds of homes were saved. -You can support Stillwater by donating to the https://www.unitedwaypaynecounty.org/form/donate-or-pledge-2022.

Last weekend, Chase Wark had his eyes on winning the 2025 Mid South Gravel, but his plans were cancelled by catastrophic wildfires that wiped out homes, land, and animals.
