Joe's Speed Shop will award a new Bell K1 Pro Helmet to the Ford Focus Midget Series pavement champion.

The episode begins with hosts Terry Bridges, Glenn Tower, and Jeff Eden addressing technical difficulties that prevent them from streaming on Facebook as usual, leading them to use YouTube and Spreaker as alternatives. They apologize for having to reschedule guest Bear Tomasovich due to these issues. Jeff Eden shares racing news, highlighting Casey Klein's performance in his first junior late model race at Madera, where he improved his lap times by seven-tenths. The hosts discuss rookie orientation at Evergreen Speedway and a test-and-tune event at South Sound Speedway. They announce Joe's Speed Shop as the primary sponsor for the pavement portion of the Northwest Ford Focus Midget Series, offering a Bell K1 Pro Helmet to the champion. The episode mentions the passing of G-Man, a respected figure in the racing community known for bodies and tanks. Hills Ferry Raceway's schedule is detailed, including a new 'fart cart' class with specific rules like a Harbor Freight 212 Predator motor and a claimer rule. Karting results from Salem Speedway are analyzed, with mentions of drivers like Dean, Dakota Gridland, Carissa Peru, and Brandon Day in close points battles. The hosts talk about upcoming events like the Apple Cup and the ICP Cup, and they promote sponsors such as Flaming Pig Barbecue and Blue Line Graphics. They tease future guests, including Bear Tomasovich and James Martin from Level One Motorsports, and encourage listener engagement through social media.
