About Racin Boys Radio

SCOTT TRAYLOR

Host and analyst

Scott Traylor has been involved in racing for more than 30 years as a driver, team owner, and broadcaster. His love for the sport inspired him to co-found a weekly radio show in 1998, which was the forerunner of what’s become a Saturday morning staple on Kansas City’s Sports Radio 810 WHB. He and partner Kirk Elliott launched RacinBoys.com in 2003, which covers the best in grassroots racing. In 2006, Traylor had the idea of taking the venture one-step further by creating a full-time production company, creating long-form live internet shows and race video packages. With the addition of live-audio coverage of the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals and most recently the Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series, an exciting future lies ahead.

KIRK ELLIOTT

Host

Kirk Elliott began announcing races at the age of 15, working tracks and events in Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas over a 30-year span from 1971 through 2000. Upon retiring as a public address race announcer, Kirk joined with Scott Traylor in the formation of the Racin Boys, which led to RacinBoys.com. Elliott has co-hosted racing-related radio shows with Traylor since 2000 on Sports Radio 810 WHB in Kansas City. After attending his very first race in 1966 at his hometown track in Mount Ayr, Iowa, it wasn’t long before he witnessed his first sprint car race at the famed Knoxville Raceway. It was there he was hooked, and a love affair of racing that’s lasted for more than 40 years. Kirk’s broadcasting career dates back to 1975 which includes play-by-play of Football, Basketball, and Baseball.
