Go behind the scenes with Aaron Reutzel, Brian Ridge, and the Ridgely Sons Racing team in this special Dirt Parlor Podcast RSR Shop Tour VLOG. Don Martin and Gordy Gundaker visit the 87 Shop in Knoxville, Iowa, getting an inside look at the RSR race shop just minutes from Knoxville Raceway. The team talks about what makes having a shop so close to the track such a major advantage during Knoxville Nationals week and gives viewers a firsthand look at where the race program comes together.

The shop tour leads into an in-depth conversation about Aaron Reutzel's pursuit of the Knoxville Nationals and what winning the biggest crown jewel in sprint car racing would mean to him and car owner Brian Ridge. Aaron discusses the pressure and nerves that come with Saturday night at Knoxville, his confidence heading into the event, and the race car he selected specifically for the Nationals after winning with it earlier in the season.

Aaron and Brian also reveal the story behind their race team, including how their partnership began, the struggles they faced early on, and how trust, consistency, preparation, and teamwork helped turn RSR into a serious sprint car operation. From the race shop and crew to Knoxville Nationals preparation and the grind behind building a winning program, this episode gives sprint car fans an inside look at the people and preparation behind one of the sport's biggest events.
