Logan Seavey joins the Dirt Parlor Podcast to break down an absolutely wild weekend at Eldora Speedway, where he climbed behind the wheel of four different race cars during the Four Crown weekend. From sprint cars and midgets to the Silver Crown and winged sprint car, Logan explains the challenge of constantly switching between cars, adjusting his driving style, managing different setups, and keeping up with an intense schedule.
Logan also takes us through his journey as a racer, from growing up as a first-generation racer in California to racing Outlaws, developing his skills on iRacing, and eventually getting opportunities with Keith Kunz Motorsports and other top teams. He explains how racing online with some of the best drivers in the world helped improve his race craft and how those connections eventually helped open the door to professional dirt racing.
Beyond the racetrack, Logan talks about how much his life has changed since becoming a dad, traveling with his family, the growth of dirt racing, increasing viewership, sponsorship opportunities, and the importance of connecting with young fans at the track. He also looks ahead to the rest of his 2026 season, including USAC Sprint Car races, the Western swing, and Turkey Night Grand Prix. This is a great conversation about dirt racing, career growth, family, and what it takes to compete at the highest levels of the sport.
