The Behind the Destruction podcast is sponsored by Heavy Metal Performance of Rockdale, Illinois.

PODCAST NOTES: I always find it interesting when sportswriters and columnists discuss why they voted for a player or driver as the MVP/D of a given league.  Steve Gursky Jr. and I take this opportunity to get into our picks for Most Valuable Driver of the 2011 season and debate how one can best judge value.  The results may surprise you.

The interview with Mean Green Machine’s Ryan Decker is intriguing as well as Decker, Gursky Jr. and I delve into the situation involving his Third Night cars’ welded frame seams, how it feels to blast your own father on the track in a demo and how a need for speed attracted Decker to the team demos.
