Iβm bummed Iβm gonna miss this!
π€π FROM VICTORY LANE TO THE BASKETBALL COURT AND NOW THE ANNOUNCER'S BOOTH β LOOK WHO'S JOINING TODD THIS SATURDAY NIGHT! ππ€
Some of you know him as a teacher. Some of you know him as a basketball coach. And some of you might even remember him as a race car driver!
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NONE OTHER THAN MARTY McKINNEY! π
Now, let's go back a few years.
MAY 19, 2018 β HAMILTON COUNTY SPEEDWAY!
Marty climbed behind the wheel of Todd Staley's Stock Car for our Teacher Feature, and wouldn't you know it...
THE GUY WENT OUT AND WON THE THING! ππ
And for those of you who don't believe Marty actually won in Todd's Stock Car, HERE'S THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE!
That's Marty standing in Victory Lane on May 19, 2018, holding the winning trophy!
Now here's where the story gets even better.
After Marty won that race, Todd got back behind the wheel of the same Stock Car and went on to win some races himself that year!
So we've always figured MARTY TAUGHT THAT CAR HOW TO WIN, AND TODD JUST TOOK ALL THE CREDIT THE REST OF THE SEASON! ππ€£
But racing isn't the only place you've probably seen or heard Marty!
If you've ever attended a Webster City Lynx basketball game, especially back when Marty was coaching the Lynx Boys Basketball Team, you know one thing for sure...
THAT MAN DOES NOT LACK INTENSITY! ππ
In fact, we're pretty sure coaching those boys all those years is what turned Marty's hair gray!
Of course, there's always the possibility that his wife Lynn had something to do with it too! We're not getting in the middle of that argument! π€£
These days, Marty is coaching the Lynx Girls Basketball Team, and something pretty special is happening there.
His daughter Taylor is now coaching right alongside him!
And from what we understand, Taylor should be taking over the team before too long.
That's pretty neat when you think about it. After all those years of coaching, Marty now gets to share the sidelines with his daughter and eventually hand over the reins.
Of course, we're hoping Taylor learned everything she knows about basketball from her dad, but maybe not quite all of that sideline intensity! π
NOW LET'S GET TO THIS SATURDAY NIGHT!
Marty is trading in his basketball whistle for a microphone as he joins Track Promoter Todd Staley in the announcer's booth at the Karl Chevrolet Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City, Iowa!
π€ MARTY McKINNEY AND TODD STALEY β CO-ANNOUNCING SATURDAY NIGHT!
Now, if you know these two, you know there's a pretty good chance things could get interesting!
We've seen Marty get pretty fired up on the basketball court, but can he bring that same intensity to the announcer's booth without getting a technical foul?
And the bigger question...
CAN TODD KEEP MARTY UNDER CONTROL, OR WILL MARTY BE THE ONE TRYING TO KEEP TODD UNDER CONTROL? π€£
Either way, this might be worth the $10 admission all by itself!
But that's not all we've got happening!
