The EKN Trackside Live program visits multiple events throughout the karting season. Leading up to major events on the calendar, EKN is happy to provide a show as part of the EKN Radio Network. The EKN OutLap is a preview podcast show, geared at providing you the top stories, breaking news, and championship battles going into the weekend.

It is the highly anticipated return of the Rock Island Grand Prix. After COVID-19 pandemic cancelled the event in 2020, the world’s largest street race is returning to the city of Rock Island, Illinois. Karts will once again battle for two days over Labor Day weekend, ranging from Briggs 206 to the shifterkarts in the King of the Streets event. Rob Howden and David Cole provide a look at this weekend’s event in this episode of the EKN OutLap - presented by Alan Rudolph Racing Academy.
