May Means More POWER – New Shows, Big Events & the Return of a Legend

My POWER People!!

Happy May! Yeah, it’s my birthday month—but as always, YOU get the presents.

We’re packing May with high-octane energy, fresh content, and one of the biggest motorsports events in POWERtube TV history. Let’s get into it.

POWERfest 2025: Where SPEED Meets the Screen

Mark your calendars for June 13–14, because POWERfest is taking over Rockingham Dragway in North Carolina—and you do not want to miss this.

We’re not just throwing a race weekend—we're filming an entire slate of new shows LIVE, and you’ll be part of it. Here's what’s coming:

  • PINKS 2.0 – That’s right, we’re bringing back the show that made drag racing personal. Real racers. Real stakes. Heads-up grudge-style racing with NO BS. Filmed in front of a live crowd for the first time in over a decade.

  • PINKS Border Brawl – Viral personalities Justin Nunley (“Now You Know”) and Shaun Umscheid(“What? No Way!”) go head-to-head as captains of Team USA vs. Team Canada. This one’s going to be pure mayhem—and we love it.

  • The Call Out: Small Tire Shootout – 16 drivers. Flashlight start. 1/8-mile, no-prep, no fluff. Hosted by Brent Albury, aka “Four Lug Thug” from Nitrous Express. This is where keyboard talk ends and real racing begins.

  • Premier Mega Trucks & Outlaw Gassers – Crowd favorites return with lifted beasts, high-flying jumps, and 1960s-style side-by-side passes that make you remember why you fell in love with horsepower in the first place.

And that’s just scratching the surface. We’ve got surprises up our sleeves and cameras rolling all weekend long. If you’re a gearhead, builder, racer, or fan—you NEED to be there. POWERfest isn’t just a live event, it’s a celebration of everything POWERtube TV stands for.

What’s New on POWERtube This May?

While we gear up for POWERfest, the content doesn’t slow down. Here’s what’s dropping this month:

  • Drag Drive Repeat returns with new podcast episodes packed with stories from the road, drag-and-drive insights, and guest interviews.

  • Gearhead of Gasoline revs back to life with a new season highlighting some of the country’s wildest rides and wrenchers.

  • Will Castro is BACK – You remember Unique Whips & Rides. Now it’s time for Unique Academy, an all-new series diving deeper into custom culture, tech, and talent—all only on POWERtube TV.

We’re also preparing special Memorial Day programming to honor those who served. Expect powerful stories and programming to match the day’s significance.
