🚨🎙️Aces Bob Exclusive🎙️🚨 Ladies and gentlemen, race fans across the globe—this is Aces Bob with an exclusive! Buckle up, because I've just had the privilege of sitting down with none other than Driver Harrison Prochaska. From his bold moves on the track to his strategies, Harrison opens up like never before. Stay tuned for insights, untold stories, and a closer look at the mind behind the wheel. This is one interview you won’t want to miss! Coming up next: My conversation with the racing prodigy himself, @royal_harrison . (Aces Bob) What drew you to road racing in iRacing, and how do you approach refining your skills to stay competitive? (Harrison) I grew up with my dad racing SCCA on the weekends helping prep his formula ford and Porsche 911, so I've always been around road racing watching lemans, F1 and Indy since I was young. I watch a lot of onboard fast lap video from the setup shops and pickup braking points apex etc. I also find my skills grow racing with the aces. Part of racing with JW I enjoy is he posts the road race tracks that day so you really don't get a chance to practice, and it's how fast can you get up to speed in the practice or qualifying session and learning on the fly really has sharpen my skills to be able to adapt to different tracks, cars and races. (Aces Bob) What’s been your most challenging race so far, and how did you adapt to overcome it? (Harrison) My most challenging race so far was probably this past years Rolex 24. Our team was behind and one of the ways to get back in the race was to save fuel but also match or better the lap times of the leaders. I was able to perfect the lift and coast strategy go faster than the leaders and also save 2 laps more fuel over an entire stint making up a lot of time. And that goes to one of my favorite quotes and racing hero Alain Prost who said "Without going to what I think is my limit. I always say that my ideal is to get pole with the minimum effort, and to win the race at the slowest speed possible.". It's all about taking care of the car and finding the easiest way to win and that sometimes is not always the fastest on track. (Aces Bob) How do you think the @The_FlyingAces group has impacted the iRacing community, both in terms of competition and camaraderie? (Harrison) I think the flying aces have the best community in terms of what @TheAcesWheelman and @TheAcesOutlaw bring which is race as hard as you can but when the race is over everyone is friends and everyone is encouraging each other to get better and enjoy this hobby because really that's what it's all about is having fun and trying to challenge yourself to grow and become a better driver and also friend to others in the community. I applaud JW for all the work and great races he has hosted and appreciate all the kind words he has given to myself but also to others he is always kind and positive which makes a great racing community. (Aces Bob) What’s one thing about the Flying Aces that you’re most proud of, and how does the group keep pushing the boundaries in iRacing? (Harrison) I am proud that others see what I see in JW & Eric and that it has grown so much and hope it continues to grow. I know the roadside ebbs and flows and look forward to doing a lot of road racing and help growing that over the winter in the NASCAR off season. I think perhaps more signature road races like the Daytona 2.4 that could get the attention of more streamers to join in would be a great idea and possibly creating a season long road championship that follows IMSA, IndyCar or GT3 would be a great way to add followers to the growing fanbase. Godspeed to JW & Eric and to the future of the Flying Aces. I want to thank Harrison for his time for the interview!

🎙️ Race Reporter Aces Bob in the house! 🎙️ Ladies and gentlemen, @The_FlyingAces fans, and iRacing diehards—it's time! As your YouTube Chat Moderator and biggest fan of the Flying Aces iRacing channel, I’m beyond thrilled to announce: The interview with @Beamrider54 is here! 🏁 Get ready for exclusive insights, epic stories, and a glimpse into the mind of a true legend. This is Spazm like you’ve never seen before brought to you by the one and only Flying Aces! 🔥 Strap in and hit play! Let’s go, Aces family! 🔥 (Aces Bob) The Viewer Experience: What’s it been like watching the Flying Aces on YouTube over the years? Has there been anything about their streams or racing style that’s stood out to you as a viewer? (Spazm) To me it’s like real racing, that’s my perspective, because I always view it that way. In reality from the viewers point of view everything looks real, the roar the squeals, the scrapping metal, the strategy. Only the car wrecks still lack realism, but kudos to iRacing for their continued efforts to improve that. (Aces Bob) Takeaways from the Group: What have you personally gained or taken away from being part of the Flying Aces community? Any lessons, friendships, or memorable moments that have stuck with you? (Spazm) Friendship, people can be so helpful and kind. This world of ours can sure use more of it. (Aces Bob) Role as Chat Cheerleader/Mod: You’ve become known as the chat cheerleader and a key mod in the community. What’s it like managing the chat and keeping the energy high during streams? Any challenges or fun stories you’d like to share? (Spazm) Yeah the chat, it is a wonderful place to hang out and I enjoy helping JW and people who are new or just have questions. Sometimes I feel bad if I don’t know the answers their looking for but usually someone in the chat will chime in with some advice… and that really is this community! the chat is also a very busy place. I always try to say hello to everyone, but it’s become very difficult as we grow, so drivers and fans please note you are never being ignored but I can only read & type so fast and like you I don’t want to miss the action. I really enjoy trying to help JW. He has a monumental task of running the stream while trying to be competitive. That is a very tall order! (Aces Bob) Your Impact on the Community: From your perspective, how do you think your role has impacted the Flying Aces family of viewers? Do you feel like you’ve helped shape the vibe of the streams in any particular way? (Spazm) My impact on the community well I hope it’s been positive, feel that way to me. Just trying to make everyone feel welcomed seems to set a nice tone and the longer that grows the bigger and better it becomes. Watching what you love and hanging with friends is what I think any sport is about. The Flying Aces has made friendly community that continues to grow with more and more family friendly members just hanging and having a Blast and by the way we have some of IRacing's greatest talented drivers who constantly strive to improve while open to new talent. I want to thank Spazm for his time with the Interview.

🎙️ This just in from Race Reporter Aces Bob! 🎙️ Ladies and gentlemen, motorsport fans, and speed enthusiasts—buckle up! The moment you've been waiting for has arrived. The interview with @ScottyGrove55 is here! 🏁 Stay tuned as we dive into the world of racing with one of its most electrifying personalities. You won't want to miss what Scotty has to say! 🔥 Let's go! 🔥 (Aces Bob) Getting Started on iRacing: What got you into iRacing, and do you remember your first impressions of it? Did you start with any particular series or cars that stood out to you? (Scotty) I'm from a racing family who have done just about everything in the dirt world of racing you could think of. From driving, crew, promotion and even track prep for 20 plus years. You name it, we've probably done it So the interest in Iracing has always been there. But it wasn't until right before the pandemic and right around the time of fall Martinsville 2019 that I came across the Flying Aces YouTube channel. I watched for a good 7 months before I decided it was time to give it a shot and see if it was as much fun as those two Ol' boys made it look. First impression for me was, "why the heck have I waited this long to get into it". When I started out, of course you run the street stocks, but I tended to lean towards ARCA. No yellow flags made those rooms a little bit more enjoyable than the typical Ipacing. To this day, to me. There is no car or era in NASCAR better than say 98-06. (Aces Bob) The Black Car Mafia: The Black Car Mafia is such a unique and well-known team in the iRacing world. How did it come together? Was it something planned, or did it grow organically over time? (Scotty) Well BCM is Terry Mustard Jr (The Colonel). I know for a fact the name of the team has a special place in Terry's heart and something he's very proud of with his Ohio roots. Pretty positive there was no master plan, and it just grew organically through Terry's sim racing and striking up friendships. I'm pretty sure it started with Terry and Rev Kennedy becoming good friends, then bringing in Rick Javorka. After that it has just grown, subtracted and grown again. Just like a real-world team, with the additions over time of myself, Doc Crieghton, Justin Sumner, Bobby Kennedy, Dave Crum, Nathan Smith and our late friend Chad Denton. It's really a great group of fellas. I'm very thankful to have made the friendships within the team and with the fellas that are no longer with BCM. They're still good friends and hopefully always will be. We're like brothers honestly, we rib each other constantly and love to call each other "scumbags". (Aces Bob) The @The_FlyingAces Impact: The Flying Aces have built a strong community within iRacing. From your perspective, how has the Aces' presence influenced racers or helped shape the iRacing experience for others? (Scotty) I'm honestly not sure I can put it into words what the Aces have done for so many of us. First off, thank you needs to be said especially to the Aces Wheelman. For myself, the Aces have been the starting point of so many friendships that would have never been if it wasn't for the channel. Not just my teammates but the entire aces community from folks in chat, drivers, teams like the boys over at Bawls Out, Elite, Diamond racing, DDM, Chrome Horn and even those Mayo lovers over at SSMS. It's an amazing place to hang out, race, wreck even get mad at each other. With JW making that possible. So many of us have learned race craft with the quality of drivers that typically enter a aces race nightly. I know myself; I've been able to take that and run really well outside my comfort zone in some quality leagues recently. The aces (JW) are also the reason I tried out streaming myself at Double Nickel TV as well. I honestly don't think Wheels and Outlaw know the influence they've had on the iracing community as a whole. I know for many of us without the aces or coming across the aces at some point in your sim racing career, the experience wouldn't have been half as enjoyable without them. As a viewer and a driver. There are rough patches, just like with anything in life. But in my almost 4 and half years in sim, The Flying Aces have been the most welcoming and influential bunch I have had the privilege of racing with. Thanks again. (Aces Bob) Memorable Moments: What’s one of your favorite memories or proudest achievements on iRacing—whether it’s a personal victory, a team moment, or something involving the community? (Scotty) Memorable Moments for me, would not really be the wins. I've had my fair share over the years. Seeing guys get their first Aces win is always pretty memorable as well. Honestly, again for me it comes back to the friendships and groups we race with. Some of my favorite times on Iracing have come from the special events put on by our fellow racers and JW. Some that come to mind are Nate Yarnell's Kansas events. Mean Dean Sprenkles full length shows from the early days of my aces career. I always say, "more laps, 100 percent fuel and limit those tire sets". Also, the memorial races for fellow racers we've lost, seeing the group come together in others time of need is always a good thing. But again, a massive thank you to the Flying Aces, my teammates at Black Car Mafia and to you AcesBOB for the interview. Be good y'all.

Aces Bob here, bringing you the rundown from a rather tame but strategic night on the track! @20CBurke showed his muscle early, snagging the pole and setting the tone. But the drama began almost immediately—Lap 1, Turn 1 saw @GavinHibbs1 go around, forcing Brandon Green into a spin to avoid a collision, only for Buster Malcom to get caught up with Brandon in the aftermath. From there, the race became a chess match, with fuel strategy kicking off after the first caution. A few laps later, chaos erupted with @TheAcesWheelman and a pack of drivers tangled in a big wreck, shaking up strategies yet again. Teams split on decisions—some pitted, while others gambled on staying out. James Lowe made an aggressive move, pitting earlier than most to try and outlast the field. Unfortunately, that elusive caution he needed never came, leaving him short in his pursuit of the win. Meanwhile, Cody Burke stayed steady and delivered another commanding performance, crossing the line P1 to cap off a strong night. Special shoutout to @Alex_Krahnke, who masterfully stretched his fuel for seven laps and salvaged an impressive P7 finish. And, of course, a big thank you to @eddy_larry39135 for the awesome race prizes. That's it for now—stay tuned, @The_FlyingAces fans, because the action never stops!

Aces Bob here, back with another adrenaline-pumping recap from Nashville, where the @The_FlyingAces put on a show to remember at the historic Fairgrounds Speedway! It all kicked off with James Lowe unloading blazing fast out of the hauler in his Super Late Model, laying down a flyer in qualifying to secure the pole. That speed set the tone for an action-packed night. The first race started with fireworks, as early contact between Doc John and the @creeker88 sent Jesse spinning to the back, triggering the first of many cautions in a yellow-filled evening. The hard-nosed competition never let up, with drivers trading paint and positions lap after lap. Pit strategy played a massive role in shaking up the order, with teams gambling between two-tire and four-tire stops. But it was James Lowe who played his cards right, staying strong through the chaos to claim the victory. @GavinHibbs1 , piloting his SSMS ride, showed incredible speed and even led laps late in the race, but ultimately fell just short of catching Lowe at the checkers. It was a night of fierce battles, daring moves, and Flying Aces grit under the Nashville lights.

James Lowe holds off for the win on a no tire call. Great win driver. on to the next race in the trucks. @The_FlyingAces

Can James Lowe hold off Hibbs and Godfather?? @The_FlyingAces

Problems early for multiple drivers including godfather and The Doc @The_FlyingAces

Who's ready for the Music city showdown! Tune in tonight to see all the action! @The_FlyingAces

I have 2 interviews that will come out this week! @ScottyGrove55 Wednesday @Beamrider54 Friday Stay tuned to get their perspective on everything @The_FlyingAces and iRacing!

**Aces Bob here, bringing you the thrilling recap of the final race in last night’s @The_FlyingAces action at Atlanta Motor Speedway!** The crew took to the track in the current Cup Series cars for 100 laps of high-speed drafting mayhem. Aaron Brown led the field to green, starting from the pole with Eric Winkelspecht alongside him. The action was immediate, with the first caution flying on just lap 3, setting the tone for a night of chaos. Around lap 30, misfortune struck Noah Hunt as electrical issues forced him to take his car to the garage. Just five laps later, a check-up at the front sent Wheelman dodging for his life, but in the process, he tangled with Buster Malcolm, bringing out the second caution of the evening. The drama only escalated from there. On lap 52, a massive wreck at the front of the field shook up the running order, leaving crews scrambling to adjust strategies. The ensuing pit stops saw a mix of calls, with some teams opting for fuel-only stops to gain precious track position. Caution #3 came on lap 61, sending pit crews back to work, but it was lap 70 that delivered the biggest scare of the night—a huge wreck that Wheelman narrowly avoided, showing his mastery behind the wheel. With 10 laps to go, the intensity cranked up as drivers made bold moves in a battle for the lead. The final lap was an absolute nail-biter, and as the field roared toward the checkered flag amidst a last-second wreck, @TheAcesWheelman *just* nosed ahead of @Alex_Krahnke to claim the popular victory. The crowd went absolutely wild as their "Head Honcho" brought it home in dramatic fashion! That’s a wrap for last night’s action. Until next time, keep your foot to the floor and your eyes on the prize—this is Aces Bob, signing off! 🏁

2. Aces Bob here, folks, bringing you the hot scoop from last night’s @The_FlyingAces showdown in the Peach State! The first of two races had us ripping through the iconic twists and turns of Road Atlanta in a thrilling multi-class battle. In the LMP3 class, Brad Peters was the man of the hour, taking home the Overall victory with a commanding performance. Over in the GT4 class, it was @royal_harrison who crossed the line first, earning himself a well-deserved win. But the real drama of the night? That came in the fight for the final GT4 podium spot. It was a no-holds-barred showdown between the @TheAcesWheelman, Dan Taylor, and @RickJavorka . These three warriors duked it out in the final laps, with wheel-to-wheel action and no room for error. When the dust settled, it was the Wheelman who emerged victorious, squeezing past Taylor and Javorka to claim the third step on the podium. What a race, what a night! This is Aces Bob, signing off until the next green flag. Keep it fast, keep it clean, and I’ll see you at the track! 🏁

@TheAcesWheelman @chvsr @The_FlyingAces @ATLMotorSpdwy @NatlParkService @AventonBikes @insta360 @FordPerformance I was and will have a race report out this evening!

Aces Bob here with another interview. This time I was able to sit down with @GavinHibbs1 of @Strictly_Stock. Here is our conversation. (Aces Bob) Finding the Flying Aces: "How did you first discover the Flying Aces, and what drew you to become a part of their iRacing community?" (Gavin) It started in the summer of 2019, I was running a hosted at Charlotte Roval and after the race, someone recommended in running with the Aces and I've been running with them ever since. (Aces Bob) Being on the Strictly Stock Motorsports Team: "What has it been like being a member of the Strictly Stock Motorsports team? Can you share any memorable experiences or challenges you've faced as part of this group?" (Gavin) Being a member of Strictly Stock Motorsports has been amazing to say the least. It's like having older brothers that I've never had. Just the way we get along with one another and the amount of bantering we do is why I think we all work really well. (Aces Bob) The @The_FlyingAces Impact on the iRacing Community: "In your opinion, what sets the Flying Aces apart as a community within iRacing, and how do you think they’ve influenced the broader iRacing landscape?" (Gavin) The Aces in my opinion has become one of the biggest iRacing streamers there are right now or ever. iRacing streamers typically stream either an official, random official, or their league race. The Aces will host a race and allow anybody from their audience to race as long as they're respectful, and that's why I think they are as popular as they are. (Aces Bob) Personal Growth and Reflections: "How has your involvement with the Flying Aces and Strictly Stock Motorsports team shaped your growth as a sim racer and a member of the iRacing community?" (Gavin) Running with the Aces and Strictly Stock has helped me improve so much as a sim racer. When I joined iRacing in March of 2017 to the time I started running with the Flying Aces, I was absolutely awful and I didn't have time to run a whole bunch being busy still in high school at the time. Now thanks to the Aces and Strictly Stock, I'm able to run in leagues and help me become a better sim racer than I am right now. I want to thank Gavin for his time for this interview.
