In this episode of The Dirt Parlor, Don Martin and co-host Gordy Gundaker welcome Ashton Winger, one of Georgia’s finest and most candid voices in dirt late model racing. Broadcasting from his home beside the legendary Atlanta Motor Speedway, Ashton gives fans an inside look at his life, his racing journey, and his honest take on the ups and downs of the sport. From his love for Illinois tracks to his Southern roots, Ashton brings humor and authenticity to every story.

Throughout the conversation, Ashton opens up about his rollercoaster season — from early engine troubles and tough breaks to rediscovering his rhythm and fighting his way back to the front. He shares how the support of his car owner, Jeff Matthews, and the influence of his parents have kept him motivated through every setback. His grit and grounded outlook show exactly what it takes to keep chasing success in one of the toughest racing circuits around.

With plenty of laughs, honest reflections, and behind-the-scenes insight, Ashton reminds listeners why The Dirt Parlor captures the true spirit of dirt racing. It’s not just about the checkered flag — it’s about the passion, perseverance, and people who make the sport what it is.
