About this episode

The episode discusses Anthony Macri's return to racing, the transformation of Mansfield Speedway, Bobby Pierce's winning streak, and honors a legendary flagman.

Anthony Macri returned to the seat after nearly three months away and drove like he'd never left, while Mansfield Speedway quietly proved a lot of doubters wrong with a completely transformed track surface. Plus, Bobby Pierce is chasing five wins in a row, the Lucas championship is suddenly razor-thin, and we remember a legendary flagman who was a fixture at Knoxville for over 40 years.
