The newest show to hit the EKN Radio Network is ‘Operation Grassroots’, a podcast geared solely on the foundation of the sport. The hub of the show will be discussion centered on the grassroots level of karting, from club racing to regional racing, all focused around the Briggs & Stratton 206 engine platform. Our #OperationGrassroots movement has been based around the Briggs powerplant, with the ultimate goals of bringing new people into the sport and igniting the spark of former racers to come back into what is the most economical form of karting.

Briggs & Stratton racers in the Midwest are craving for the weather conditions to warm up and start the 2019 season. The Cup Karts North America program opens up its season with the Spring Nationals, set for Concept Haulers Motor Speedway in Norway, Illinois on May 3-5. Listen to Rob Howden talk with series promoter Greg Jasperson about the series opener, and the rest of the season, including the Grand Nationals in October in this edition of the ‘Operation Grassroots’ powered by Briggs & Stratton Racing.
