đź“– Episode Summary:
It’s the season finale of Track Talk live from Midtown Tavern in Moorhead! Host Jason closes out a summer of racing conversations with great food, cold drinks, and big stories fresh off the Corn Cob Nationals.
This week’s episode features three standout drivers:
-
Sean Johnson (#58 INEX Legend Car) — veteran racer and newly crowned Corn Cob Nationals winner shares how he balanced work, family, and a return to victory lane after 18 years.
-
Lindsey Hansen (#32 IMCA Modified) — reflects on his switch from late models to mods, overcoming broken parts, and driving with his left front flying high to capture the big win.
-
Rookie Zayden Braaten (#7Z RaceSaver Sprint) — making waves in his debut season, Zayden talks about stepping into sprint cars and chasing speed with racing in his blood.
