Reel45 Podcast With Greg Hancock And Stefan Juhnell

We were invited to the inaugural launch of the LOT Polish Airlines flight from Rzeszow, Poland to Newark, NJ in the USA. First we attended Greg’s  race with Stal Rzeszow against Rawicz on Sunday April 29th which they won and then joined this huge event at Rzeszow Airport at 9AM the following morning April 30th! Greg rode into the airport on a Harley provided by Game Over Cycles in Rzeszow and then joined Rzeszow Airport CEO Michal Tabisz on stage to make an official presentation to all the public and media that we would be joining the inaugural flight to Newark. This event was put together in a matter of 3 weeks and all handled by Michal Tabisz and his staff together with LOT Polish Airlines. What a fascinating individual he is. There is much more on the horizon but you have to hear this short interview with Michal live at the airport just 1 hour before we made the journey on the LOT boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. Stay tuned for more on this amazing journey. Be sure to follow our new hashtag which will have more me

This week’s episode 28 is with Maciej Janowski and we are calling it: “Making Magic”! Everyone knows my log time relationship with Magic and this is truly one of the most awaited episodes that I’ve wanted. He is such an amazing kid with a huge heart and massive love for the game. I’ve had the pleasure of helping him a little on his run up to the current day but it has to be said that Magic has made it on his own. My mechanic Rafal Haj picked up Magic from an early age of about 12 years old and introduced him to me when he was 13. Magic has always had the look in his eye and that’s what had me sold on the kid from day one. He could not even speak english when we first met but he has grown to be a great human being and a massive star in his home country of Poland. I am proud to say that I know Maciej Janowski and will stand behind him always. Even though we compete against each other, we have a huge mutual respect for one another. Watch him continue to grow!! - Greg Hancock Be sure to follow us at social media

Stefan and I caught up with Chris who is stranded in the UK without a passport and therefore cannot leave the country to go to work and chase his racing career ambitions not can he compete in the UK either. It’s a difficult time for Chris who has been battling some personal issues for the last year and a half. All he wants to do now is get everything cleared up, have his time with his son Max and move forward with his racing.

Welcome to this weeks Episode 19- “California’s Not Going Anywhere”! This Episode is a cool story about the American riders who have been to Europe for a year or more as well as those who have not yet made the hop across the water to chase their dreams and why. Many people continuously ask me why there are not more Americans in Europe and what’s going on with American Speedway. Here you will get the story straight from the sources: Greg - Not Really the Past :()Ricky - The PresentMax and Dillon Ruml - The Future Whether its life, family, friends or just the comforts of home what is holding them back? It’s interesting, amusing and slightly emotional when you hear the story of Max Ruml taking on not only his own responsibilities of life and racing but also the father figure role to step up and help to support his own brother starting at age 19. This kid holds a lot inside yet is the most organized and kind hearted kid you could meet. Enjoy the episode! We really want to thank Ricky, Max and Dillon for taking th

Welcome to Reel45 and Episode 15 with Gabriel Waliszko from the Polish TV network NC+ and Canal+ Sport. We had an in depth chat with Gabriel about his life growing up in Krosno, Poland watching Speedway, playing sports and later studying journalism. This all led him to eventually become a TV commentator and personality well known throughout Poland and to the worldwide speedway viewers. Greg has developed a friendship with Gabriel over the years and we felt that people needed to know what actually goes on behind the camera. It’s not just about showing up to an event on the day, there is huge amount of time and work that goes into it. Gabriel has a huge interest in Speedway but he must also have interest in a vast majority of other sports as well. He needs to be knowledgeable in so many areas to keep up on the daily activities, results, news and of course gossip. :() He has so many great stories and memories including some of the biggest names in Polish sport like Tomasz Gollob but that’s not all.  Listen to th
