In this awesome episode of Tin Soldier Tuesday, we sit down with the multifaceted Tommy Hoskinson, the talent both behind the camera and the steering wheel. For the first time, Tommy opens up about personal chapters of his life that he’s scarcely discussed publicly. From his early days racing Jr. dragsters, experiencing a disconnection with the sport, to his introspective high school years, we dive deep into Tommy’s path to self-discovery. A pivotal digital arts class ignited his passion for filming, leading to an unexpected yet serendipitous collaboration with his brother Billy on their Street Racing YouTube channel. This venture not only rekindled Tommy’s love for racing but also married his two passions, creating a fulfilling purpose and new drive.
Tommy shares the thrill of making it to the finals against the Prestons in New Orleans, revealing how his focused dedication as a racer has shaped his achievements. He reflects on the early days of their street racing channel, including the creation of its iconic logo that remains a symbol of their brand today. Furthermore, Tommy discusses the nuances of navigating YouTube and the joy of connecting with an incredible audience that has become like family.
Join us as Tommy Hoskinson gives us an intimate look at his journey of growth, creativity, and the power of combining one’s passions. This episode is a testament to where determination and heart can lead, and a must-listen for anyone looking for inspiration to follow their dreams.

I had a tough childhood as well with a very mean and strict father and brother almost 4yrs older.. It shapes you into a man.. you hate them as a child, but by the time you hit your mid 20's you look at your peers who weren't raised like that and you can see how weak and soft you could have been without the masculine energy and fear that that shapes you into a real respectable man.. Tommy is right, the current young generation has a large majority of big mouth, no action.. Computers, video games, internet, ect is/has made men weak and feminism also has praised it, with women saying they want a "nice guy" when in all reality they want a leader!!
Very Good to see this side of both of you. Tommy brought up balance, Family first then your work you will find a way or you will regret it later on. Just a thought
Tommy good interview! You are"personable"and We Love It! Don't Ever Change!
That was a really good interview. It was good to see Tommy that was so transparent and open what he experienced shines a whole new light on what people go through I’ve really love watching their videos it’s life in the making
Great way to start my day…. Thank you guys for everything you do for us!
Enjoyed the hell out of this. Good people doin good things.
Two of the nicest guys in the sport!! Two young men that are great role models!
Great episode. The whole SRC family all seem like great people. Relatable, not just a facade
Your younger self is tellin ya to either wait for marriage or to sew the oats & that’s just not the case. My wife & I were talkin about buying land for the taxes & in my own mind I knew it was finally time to get it done, I left work early 1 random day. I drove her to the courthouse to get “info” on land & landed in the marriage office signing papers. It’s never the right time or the right place it only going to be right for the two of you..
Big fans of all you guys. It's great that you get different stories from the same crew. We all have our own stories for sure.
Brrrpppp
Awesomeness
I met you guys last year at outlaw Armageddon on my birthday and you guys where packing Charlie up and I talked to you and Todd’s dad and you guys where so cool and made me feel super welcomed and you guys all where so nice and talked to me about Charlie that you guys
Tommy is right about other people posting videos of them or on a live and everyone see there race before they make a video that’s also the reason why channels like cleetus do a lot of between rounds content that would be cool if SRC did more of. it’s the story or the problems with the cars and just seeing the people you choose to watch for entertainment that other people don’t have in there video or people can’t just show everything on there live that’s why people watch Cleetus videos and SRC videos of a race event
Absolutely an awesome episode. Love it!! Keep up the good work
that is a killer logo , simple is better great job I am a graphic designer
This is awesome. Tommy is a good guy. I've watched src from the beginning. Src lead me to tin soldier race cars. Love all of you content and it only seems to get better. Plus as a ol Kentucky boy I have to root for the home team. Keep it up!
I am the youngest of three boys so I get being treated lil rough lol made me better man! You are doing great as a young man! Keep making those memories with ur family sir! Thank you for sharing
That young man can easily switch straight into camera work for anyone, and between his natural abilities behind the camera as well as his editing skills would definitely make a very good living.
Probably wouldn't be home much, but they make a very team Allison and Tommie.
Enjoyed every podcast y'all have uploaded, and you do bring out things from your guests that no one else seems to be able to do.
Keep it up, and the two of you may very well have new full-time job on top of everything else.
I will watch the same race on like 5 different peoples channels. I watch the channel because I like the people and like seeing them. Plus you get different view points, you get their thoughts and opinions. Even though it’s the same races it still comes across different. I watch all them, every video. Keep it up SRC,G2G,OMG hell I’d watch Vickie if she had a channel. I still think the ol man should let Vicki post 2x a month or something and do baking videos or something. Something for the women also. Love y’all! Tin Soldier, Tommy ❤❤❤❤
Love the content , y'all are all a bunch of really inspirational an positive people. I'd like to meet y'all in person

Yes for part 2 of Tommy and Allison with Ricky.
From an old fart, that enjoys watching you young guns, this was a banger pod cast!
I truly appreciate this interview, for the in-depth view of Tommy and the background of his life growing up.. It is great watching Tommy grow into himself, and the relationship between he and Allison.. Jason, I like how you think and uplift those around you.. It is inspiring to see you live your spirituality, while not being preachy in doing so.. All of you keep up the great work..
Tommy I know how you feel I lost my friend a year out of school on my birthday
Great conversation boys!!! Amazing to see where dreams can take people!! Keep killing it fellas
Killer interview. Tommy is on a rip for 2024. Hope Tommy will do more “how to” or video or YouTube tutorials on his channel. Good luck for the rest of the season
Awesome podcast again guys . My favorite src videos are the ones where Tommy and Billy sit down and do the race recap round by round . They do a great job .
Best driver ever most humble great interview, same time in
This was just wonderful! Some genuine people talking about life and what they love.
People can sense that if someone is really open and heartful.
I really should write this comment in German to really be able to express how this feels to me…
It was great, 2 hours very well spent. ❤
What an awesome video. SRC would not be where its at today without T2G. Tommy is the peace keeper and does not rock the boat. So humble and yet you can tell hes intense about being the best Tommy he can be. Him and Allison both have great attitudes and will someday make great parents. Success is inevitable no matter what they do. They have good people around them and I cant wait to see that stepside outrun the malibu. Id love to see Tommy branch out on documentary stuff. He knows enough people in the racing scene that there are plenty of stories to cover. I'd love to see what the story of the gold toothed white guy in New orleans is. Ive seen him on many racing videos and he is a loud mouth but seems intersting and crooked at the same time.
LOVE ❤ THIS PODCAST
