John Candy Live

This week on the John Candy Live Podcast, we sit down with Bakersfield native Brylon Holder for an in-depth conversation about racing, family, business, and what it takes to build a legacy. Brylon grew up surrounded by horsepower as part of the legendary Holder Motorsports family. We discuss his journey from Jr. Dragsters at Famoso Raceway to dirt racing in IMCA SportMods, and his return to drag racing where he's become one of the nation's top Pro 275 competitors. But racing isn't the only thing that defines the Holder family. Brylon also shares what it's like working in the family's successful air conditioning business, balancing life between the race shop and the job site, and the work ethic that's been passed down through generations. It's a conversation about dedication, sacrifice, entrepreneurship, and staying grounded while chasing success on and off the track.
