The "Tardy Memorial" has quickly become one of the premier dirt track racing events in the Upper Midwest, and this week we're joined by one of the men helping make it happen — Ryan Aho from "The One To Go Show"

Ryan joins the Built2 Media Podcast to preview the massive Tardy Memorial coming to Hibbing Speedway on July 10th. We break down the incredible payout structure, bonus prizes, special awards, and everything racers and fans can expect from what could be the highest-paying Super Stock race ever held. We also discuss the addition of the Fast Lane Super Stock Series, the tremendous amount of work that goes into organizing an event of this magnitude, and why the Tardy Memorial is one of the most prestigious races on the Iron Range.

Beyond the event itself, Ryan reflects on his legendary racing career, including his four consecutive national championships, the keys to sustained success, and some of the memories that stand out most from his time behind the wheel.

We also dive into all the action from Rice Lake Speedway this past weekend, including:

🏁 Eric Olson's 81st career feature victory
🏁 Steve O'Brien picking up his first-ever Rice Lake Speedway win
🏁 Hunter Van Gilder's thrilling late-race charge to victory
🏁 Mitch Kesan's unforgettable family announcement in victory lane
