Hoosier tire. Been funding the big boys for decades.

[Slideways]

Yep, that GVS MasterSbilt/Rayburn in Baz00ka Basstubes colors with Freddy behind the wheel, was a sharp ride for sure.

Miller brothers coal “Bob Miller”

[Rajflyboy]

That’s a good one. On the goat

[Slideways]

Can't forget J&J Steel either. Johnny Johnson helped out a bunch of racers, and even sponsored a series.

[dirtcrazy4u]

J.W. HUNT enough said

[Slideways]

I always thought that Freddy's L.A. Gear ride was really sharp too.

[weatherman85]

I’ll give Dion Deason’s www.Buttcrackfiller.com an honorable mention for comedic purposes.

Regionally speaking Starrett trucking and Cushman Paint and Body helped tons of drivers here in the South East.

Nationally, I always liked Donnie Moran being sponsored by Big Johnson. Those shirts were everywhere for awhile.

[kipling]

Petroff Towing has spent a lot of money also.

[zyoung25]

J&J steel and Seubert calf ranches were on a bunch of cars around the same time.

Does Jay Johnson still race?

[foxfire2dirtracing]

For longevity and money spent: in order Bob/Barbara Miller(Miller Brothers Coal), Ed Petroff (Petroff Towing), Johnny Johnson(J & J Steel).

There are certainly many others like Ray Vest too.
J.W. Hunt I believe put up a lot of the Eldora Million purse money.
Bazooka Bass Tubes don’t come close to be the “best ever” in my opinion. They sponsored the Joel Hedrick GVS team for a few years only. Rex Ritchey, Moyer & Freddie Smith. That was a potent team at that time for sure!

[foxfire2dirtracing]

Correction: no certain order for Miller, Petroff, Johnson

[Rajflyboy]

It does not have to be about total money spent. Good thoughts though on this 👍

[dirtSLMracing]

The one I'm going to list may not have spent a lot of money, I have no idea. I just associated them with a certain driver back in the day. Guess the driver?

Tri-City Drywall

Valvonline has thrown a ton of money at dirt racing over the years.

They may have sponsored him but not the driver I had in mind.

Help an old man out: I heard "OG" on Street Outlaws the other night for the first time. I guess others did too, as I have seen it multiple times this week. What is OG?

[Thedoctor]

I would have to agree with the big Johnson. The t shirts were cool, in the society today I doubt they’d get away with printing half of what was on them back then.

Original.......that takes too much time for the kids to pronounce these days,so it's OG.

A few more decades and it will be down to grunts and finger snaps

Very true Barbecueboy. I remember attending Carolina Clash races in the mid 2000s and over half the field would have Starrett trucking on their cars in prime sponsorship locations. I think Modoc still has a Jack Starrett memorial race each year so glad to see his name still lives on.

[Barbecueboy]

I've spent some time with Mr. And Mrs cushman and had the pleasure of breaking bread with them at various tracks..... but never got to speak to or know Mr. Starrette .....I've heard the stories and some of the driver testimonials about his friendship and support and saw all the same sponsorship graphics on these cars as you did.

Two great supporting families of the sport no doubt.

[riddle28]

starrette trucking used to be on quite a few cars in the southeast, i see that ted browns body shop on alot of midwest cars too

[oldmodhasbeen]

JW Hunt was a great sponsor and great man

That is the one.

Dion deason is a buttcrack filler himself

[FastEd95]

J&J steel and Seubert calf ranches were on a bunch of cars around the same time. Does Jay Johnson still race? Jay is still winning races. Saw him win one against a nice field at Donnellson, IA last October.

Good to hear. He was a main stay at Eldora for years at the big shows, and made several of them. Never was a contender for a win, but was always solid enough to make show.

Hav-A-Tamp Cigars & Arizona Sports Shirts

[STRONGERTHANDIRT]

Curtis Equipment, Christenberry Farms, Dover Cylinder Heads.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

Stronger than dirt

3 good ones you mentioned there. Great sponsors for Dale McDowell(Dover), Skip ARP (Curtis) and Christenberry Trucking &Farms for Freddie Smith. I do believe Ralph Curtis and Clayton Christenberry were also the car owners. Dover cylinder Heads was owned by Dale and Shane McDowell’s mother & step father and was a big supporter of the McDowell brothers.

[AnnouncerLife88]

Mesilla Valley Transportation is definitely worthy of a mention, they've got late models and alot of sprint cars they support.

Just curious: is Dyna Grow part of Nutrian Ag Solutions (formerly Crop Production Services) or are they totally separate corporations?

Thanks Dirtybird!

[Rajflyboy]

I expect JD to seed many victory lanes with nutrien this year

[Rajflyboy]

Big Johnson. Yes. That’s an awesome name/car for a sponsorship

[Rajflyboy]

He seeded Arizona pretty good

Obviously, they werent Roundup Ready at Alltech and Eastbay! lol

[racingfan99]

Arnie Ranta has sponsored teams over the last twenty years. Brent Larson, Jordan Yaggy, Jason Rauen, Brian Birkhofer, Brian Shirley and Terry Casey in open DLMs and a dozen Wissota late models. This one guy has done a lot for the sport.

Conley Trucking King construction

Conley Trucking King constructionWhose Conley help besides the Conley’s?

[chupp n bloomer fan]

I’d definitely say MBC, Petroff, J&J, JW Hunt, Raye Vest, Gypsum people, Carl & Ann Myers, Arnie, and I dunno who else.

[Josh Bayko]

The Gypsum guy is named John Wight, and he owns a couple tracks too.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

CJ Rayburn has kept a lot more guys afloat than most could even imagine.

Youngblood Concrete

[Morgs153]

Many good ones listed already might I add, the late Dave Deppe. Deppe Enterprises has been on race cars (pavement and dirt) since the early 70s. He was really good guy who loved his racing.
