In the first episode of his new "Rigsby Report" Podcast, the DoD co-founder hinted to some major news coming out of PRI on Thursday.

My guess is that Bloomquist and Madden will join Ricky Weiss with the Drydene sponsorship and all 3 of them will take their best shot at B-Shep and the Rocket bunch.

Anybody know the real news and want to divulge it earlier?

I heard that too. He said it was some of the biggest news in the industry in the last decade. I am very curious as well.

That would be my first guess as well. 2nd guess would be that this will be Bloomer's last full time year racing. 3rd guess would be something special for the World 100 50th Anniv

Since they've already sold tickets and there wasn't a big price increase that ship has sailed.

Madden and/or Boomer going to the WoO wouldn't be this big, earth shattering news that they're teasing. Madden would be going back to the WoO after being off the tour for all of a half a season. Sure, Bloomer going back would be different, but he's flirted with the idea of going back off an on for years.

Live television on the whole is a dying medium. Every day more an more people cut cable. It's nowhere near the golden goose it used to be.

Streaming is future of all media, and dirt racing on the whole was way out in front of that one already. The connectivity infrastructure needs to be updated at a lot of places, though.

The more I think about it, I'm thinking it is likely team Bloomer signs with WoO; because Rigsby says its people moving... early at PRI is when WRG does their signing announcements of drivers. I would agree, that if that's the big announcement, it has been greatly over stated/blown by Michael.

Every Lucas Oil Race live with every Saturday night Live on Mav as well as LORTV would be this type of bombshell news, but drivers switching no. Even if it's some head Lucas Oil officials moving to WoO, I don't see where'd it'd be some bombshell to the industry.

If the news is only Bloomquist running the WoO series that is not decade, ground breaking news. As some mentioned on here it has to be a million dollar race, bristol dirt, or all races live and on tv. Other ideas that come to mind is a series paying 20k to win every race....a huge west coast swing...summernats paying 100k to win again...

with bloomer and cody thinking about the chassis business it would be smart to have cars running both series, not trying to give bloomer a hard time here but he is coming to the end of his years being the driver, madden would be my top choice too for a driver, maybe pierce behind him and hudson o'neil,
this would be the smart way of thinking in my opinion going forward in racing for them,
also ricky is going to be a force to deal with too
team zero has definitely found some speed and consistency, team rocket isn't going to have it so easy next year would be my guess

If my employer didn’t test, I’d smoke it in a heartbeat. And then barely drink at all. Be nice when it’s pretty much nationwide, and they start enforcing it like alcohol instead of fukin heroin. Which is asinine.

i'm with you on that! Just add one more thing... Make them get all of the tires within the confines of the body and narrow up the front track width by at least of couple of inches on the right front. Then the cars would almost look normal and i agree 100% that it would help with costs, and it wouldn't be that hard to impliment.

I saw where Florence is looking at allowing the 525 engine to run weekly with its supers and make them as equal as possible.

Not making predictions but I think he needs a WoO championship now in the current state of LM racing compared to the last one 16 yrs ago. That's why I'm surprised he hasn't gave it a run the last few yrs regardless of the other off the track issues with WRG/WoO.

That’s big news, but it’s not industry wide. Industry wide is some that impacts the guy in last place at the local 1/4 mile right up to Mark Richards. Either there’s something else coming or that got overplayed or overestimated in importance. I am gonna go with overplayed.

I kinda thought that maybe Drydene might buy the WRG and do what Lucas Oil has done. That would have been big industry news.

I predict Madden will dominate the WoO series next year and will win 10+ races and the points championship.

Rocky

It would, but only if they bought all of Dirtcar to go with it. Any changes to the big 2 wouldn’t really impact anything we’re doing here in the shop. Unless someone decided to make wholesale rules changes.

Certainly not groundbreaking amazing news. A team got a good multi year deal and is following WoO. Okay

I think it’s dumb to have all three on one tour. Money talks I know. But, three people with the same sponsorship, basically the same team, fighting for wins. Have Madden or Bloomer run Lucas, and leave Ricky on the WoO tour with whoever doesn’t go Lucas. I think this blows up in their face.

I see Madden getting into it with either Scott or Ricky. Just don’t think this is a good idea. Could be wrong.

Though definitely not some earth shattering news. Great for SBR, for everyone else, so so.

I agree 100%.....Drydene could get a lot more bang for their sponsorship buck if the teams were split between the two series. Thought the same thing when NOS Energy Drink sponsored the USAC sprint car series last year and then also sponsored three or four teams on the same tour. That being said, I think the talk of the demise of the WOOLMS can now be put to rest.... A pretty stout field now in my opinion.
