On this episode of The Dirt Parlor, Don Martin and Gordy Gundaker dive into the highs and lows of the past race weekend. With rainouts hitting hard across the region, they take time to spotlight the devastating impact on tracks like Paducah and Portsmouth and the ripple effects felt by promoters, crews, and fans. It’s a tough reminder of how unpredictable and unforgiving this sport can be.
But while Mother Nature shut down much of the action, Lincoln Speedway delivered big time. Anthony Macri showed up and showed out with another win, making it clear the 39M is finding its groove again. Don and Gordy break down what’s clicking with Macri’s team and why confidence behind the wheel can turn a good driver into a dominant one.
The episode wraps with a real conversation about formats, fairness, and frustration. From pill draws to qualifying cutoffs, Gordy shares what it’s like to be on the wrong end of a draw and why some changes could make racing better for everyone involved. It’s honest, insightful, and everything you love about The Dirt Parlor.
Stay till the end to hear Gordy and Don "The Warden" Martin's picks for this weekend's races!
