When it comes to car shows, few know them better than Phil Painter, organizer of Muscle Cars at the Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Nevada. For over twenty-years this show has been a mainstay for car enthusiasts on the West Coast and beyond, and every year, it keeps getting better.  From the excitement of the drag races and auto-x to a killer show field complete with vendor booths and enthusiasts, the truth is, it’s hard to beat. On this episode of the Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ podcast, we sit down with Phil to chat about Muscle Cars at the Strip in Las Vegas (happening this weekend, March 17-19, 2023) and then we talk about Dodge’s Last Call event that’ll be packed with automotive celebrities along with a killer reveal that happens the day after on, March 20th.
