About this listen

Enjoy Blake and Ben talk racing, life and much more. 2 idiots that race (or used to) who think they have the best ideas and argue about their points. A fun, light hearted podcast that usually turns inappropriate at some point. Many great guests with amazing race careers join to talk how they got started and their take on racing / the racing community. Caution: foul language encouraged during recording sessions.

    This one brings the ENERGY. 🔥

    Kennedy Swan joins the Built2 Media Podcast and this conversation hits everything—from her Rookie of the Year season to a strong 2024 and the hunger to break through in 2025. Kennedy is only 19, but she’s already proving she belongs in the Wissota Modified conversation.

    We talk about what separates speed from winning, the mental side of staying consistent, and what it’s like chasing results in the ultra-competitive Wissota Modified class. Kennedy doesn’t hold back talking about the highs, the struggles of 2025, and what needs to click to turn speed into trips to victory lane.

    With Jason Swan in the room, you get the full picture—family, racing, pressure, and the work it takes behind the scenes.

    Plus, the fan questions were LOADED and the 2-Minute Questions? Absolute chaos. Don’t miss the “Heartbeat Thumper.” 👀

    If you’re into real racing talk, raw stories, and the next generation coming up fast—this is the episode.

    Mar 20 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    This one’s packed with stories.

    On this episode of Built2Media, we sit down with local street stock legend Mike Knudtson for a high-energy, no-filter conversation about the past, present, and what’s coming next. From intense rivalries and hard racing to wild wrecks and unforgettable nights at the track, Mike brings the stories that only true racers can tell.

    We dig into the moments that shaped him—memories with his dad, his biggest wins, and the competitors who pushed him to be better every single night. And yes… the stories get as good as you’d expect, including: “I grabbed the water cannon, and told him to go cool down.”

    But this episode goes deeper than racing.

    Mike opens up about stepping away from the track, focusing on family, and how life has changed in the best way. From his weight loss journey to feeling better than ever, this is a side of Mike people don’t always get to hear. We also talk about the future—what 2026 could look like, and whether the next generation of Knudtsons might be getting behind the wheel sooner than you think.

    This is more than racing—it’s legacy, growth, and real-life perspective from one of the most well-known names in the local scene.

    Mar 13 2026

    Send a text

    In this episode of the Built2Media Podcast, we sit down with Shawn Amundson and Nick Traynor to talk about what’s shaping up to be a different kind of season in 2026. With both drivers now working out of the same shop, they discuss how teaming up could change their approach on and off the track.

    We also look back at how the 2025 season went for each of them, the lessons learned, and what they’re hoping to improve heading into the new year. From offseason changes and preparation to expectations for the upcoming racing season, Shawn and Nick give an inside look at what’s ahead.

    Of course, things get a little rowdy along the way. The two-minute questions bring plenty of laughs, and the conversation stays energetic the whole time with these two hooligans behind the microphones.

    Plus, we talk a little life outside the track and what keeps them motivated through the long racing grind.
