Not many people in Colorado know of Steve Meade. After all, most of his passions are common ones; muscle cars, motorcycles, snow boarding or anything your typical ‘adrenalin junkie’ might enjoy.

But everyone in the city of Denver knows ‘Willie B.’ The morning show deejay for FM rock station 106.7 KBPI, one of the most listened to morning shows within the market.

Meade, better known as ‘Willie B,’ is one of the more than 450 racers who will be taking their shot this weekend at trying to make the final 16 during this weekend’s PINKS All Out shoot at picturesque Bandimere Speedway, just outside Denver.

Radio is this Kentucky native’s passion, which he began at the young age of 16 years old at a modest station known as WFMI. But his big break came in Denver, where he’s eventually carved out a big following in the morning – and some of the cities highest ratings. As with radio, his passion for racing runs deep.

“My
dad used to race a ’57 Chevy,” said Meade, 40. “The first memory I ever had of racing – when I was about four years old – there were two ’57 Chevys on the line and one of them was my dad. And for some reason, there was a crash at the end of the drag strip. Luckily, it wasn’t my dad, it was the other car.

“I always grew up around hot rods – my first car was a ’71 Dodge Charger,” Meade continued. “I can remember my dad selling a 1968 Dodge Super Bee when I was like five. I cried because I liked the car so much. Now, I’ve built a ’68 Super Bee for PINKS All Out. Cars have always been in and around my life; and those are the people that are my friends. The people I gravitate towards, the ‘Gearheads,’ ‘Throttle Jockeys’ and ‘Wrenchers.’”
