Dirt on Dirt - Drama

[waaac77]

I don’t like drama in my life but DoD is really dropping the ball not covering the Madden-Pierce feud. Not one microphone stuck in Madden or Pierces face after the race. No quotes from anyone. You want stories, clicks, people talking about your sport to grow it and you got nothing out there and there’s so much here.

[427c.i.]

It’s on there. Madden refused comment and Pierce is writing it off as another one of his “racing deals…”

[ride height]

Unless you’ve driven in a dirt track race yourself, you don’t understand how things can happen quickly. Having said that...it DID look pretty crappy what the 32 did. No doubt. Good for the 44 car for not popping off in an interview. That’s very hard not to pop off after you get dumped. It never does any good anyway.

[grt74]

ole madden was trying to take his line to a point hanging on, bobby had a good run , less than 10 laps to go too, while i agree he was dumped but it was go time to try and win, but if he keeps this up i can see a big win taken away because someone does it to him, I'm sure everyone knows how he drives by now

[NeedforLM$peed]

He was mad because he jumped the cushion a few laps before and took it out on Madden.

[CIRF]

waaac77 is correct. A large part of the allure of dirt late model racing to it's fans is the drama resulting from drivers crashing each other and the dirt late model specific media absolutely should put a great deal of emphasis on the drama side of the sport. It's what gets the fans interested and excited!

I don't think pandering to the lunatic fringe is good business.

[johnE]

Madden conserved his stuff to have a chance to win at the end. Pierce wore his stuff out starting on lap one. By lap 60 he was hustling a worn out piece, driving over his head, like somebody who has never had to work for what he has. “A racing deal”? Maybe in Bomber class, but not at the top level of the sport.

[CIRF]

I don't think pandering to the lunatic fringe is good business.Really? Not good business?

I couldn't agree more with the sentiment that good, hard clean racing should draw the most attention and passionate interest but that isn't reality. The most popular and most participated threads right here and social media traffic show what creates the most passionate interest and excitement. It's clearly apparent. The on track-off track drama is what gets fan interest heightened. Good hard, clean and exciting racing doesn't incite nearly the passionate interest that one dirt late model driver taking out another driver and the ensuing fist fight in the pits does. It's part of what the sport was grown upon and evolved from whether it be NASCAR Cup or a hornet heat race at a 1/4 mile dirt track.

The incident at the 1997 Dream is nearly a quarter century in the past and it still will evoke sizable fan reaction. The 1979 Daytona 500 happened nearly 45 years ago and the last lap and ensuing fist fight is still considered the seminal moment in the rise of NASCAR popularity.

Not good for business? Riiiiiiight!

[WisWildManFan]

DoD loves Bobby so they won’t expose him for the sh!tang he is

[Barbecueboy]

JohnE nails it !!! 

He normally does…….

There is a such thing as a vocal minority. More noise doesn't mean more people are interested.

[dirtluver]

Thanks for running 4m in to the ground..Was a great site...Hope these dump Fuks don't find out about the other racing site...Its is great...Glade to have a racing site that is about racing and not about bad mouthing drivers. I like all the drivers and the sport. Illstate32 you are the biggest piece of (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) in this site. If you would like i would be glad to meet you at a race and you can explain to me why you are such a dik. I will pay your ticket. Don't expect a reply on here from me..I don't play games. Messaage me i will reply there you dik..

[Barbecueboy]

Kamala Harris would agree with this right about now.

[Barbecueboy]

Internet hair pulling………cool, popcorn is in the microwave.

[Barbecueboy]

I would just like to know what it feels like to never ever be in the wrong…..ever.

Young bob is that guy.

[kazual]

He was mad because he jumped the cushion a few laps before and took it out on Madden.My thoughts too.

[ZERO25]

Just a hard racing deal.........except for you trailer racers!

And yes, im one of lil Boobies harshest critics!

[CIRF]

We're not talking about vocal's here. We're talking interest as a whole. You can down play the significance of drama on overall interest but an on track altercation with a physical confrontation afterwards spikes interest. It's undeniable. Bowman Gray Stadium is a prime example. I realize BGS isn't dirt late models but the interest is the same.

DLM fans love it and there is plenty of evidence to back it up every time someone gets dumped or a slider goes wrong............or right depending on your point of view.

[Raceready]

Just a hard racing deal.........except for you trailer racers!And yes, im one of lil Boobies harshest critics!Well put ! ! ! ! Good hard Saturday night dirt racing at its finest. We have become too sissified and snowflaked as a society to remember when most all races were rough and tumble events. Anymore it's always something to cry about, too dusty, too rough, restart cone etc. Back in the day we just showed up anywhere and raced with what we had. Conditions were same for everybody.

The little b!t$h can't compete on a national tour level but can cheery pick & save his equipment to race regionally, then drives like he has his head up his AR$E!!!! Booby the douche is a spoiled little b!t(h & it is about time someone stuffed his car in the wall. Stop being a pierce nut $su(ker & watch the race like the rest of us real fans.

[dirtcrazy4u]

I can say that from all the people that say Boobie dumped this guy then he dumped that guy. Not one crew or driver has punted him to my knowledge, Why not ? Terbo going after him was priceless, I just wish he would have gotten out of the car and punched Bob square between the eyes.

If these other drivers and crews are so but hurt you never see a plantant move to equal the score let's say.

erb wanted to talk about it to sell t shirts, he didnt wanna do anything

Crew's are constantly told not to do anything in retaliation. Let the driver handle it.
Babb most certainly evened the score at Macon

[Cooter Davenport]

Bobby can drive more aggressive than most others, because he knows his stuff can be fixed a lot cheaper than most everyone else.Hos cost of a new car is way less than anyone buying a chassis.

[Dlmfan123]

erb wanted to talk about it to sell t shirts, he didnt wanna do anythingExactly. Terbo talks a big game but the only thing he's done is punch 17 y/o Hudson and use his race car as a weapon

[weatherman85]

Lot of people on here saying Bobby is never in the wrong in his eyes which I agree with but let's also be real here. How's that any different to Madden and his perspective of his own actions in the past when it comes to dust ups?

[dirty-white-boy]

Sorry, but that is just plain BS. Booby the douche just flat dumped Madden.

Preach! Funny how Bloomer and Moyer combined have won over 1500 races yet they never flat dumped others or run thru others at the rate this guy does! Funny how its 'always a racin deal and hes sorry'.

Too bad the 44 is 2nd in points or he may have taken him to the woodshed after the race. Smoky wont forget him.

As for DoD, if it wasnt at Fairbury or involve "Sheppy" or Kyle Larson it didnt happen!

[davis2902]

DoD has a love affair with any driver from Illinois. They can do no wrong.

[wfodirt66]

terdbo beating up pierce?? lmfao id pay to see that, that little squeak aint beating anyone up

[NeedforLM$peed]

That's true. Might as well call it "Illinois Dirt on Dirt."

[ZERO25]

terdbo beating up pierce?? lmfao id pay to see that, that little squeak aint beating anyone up

Think ill start a series one day, where if two drivers have a altercation on the track, and then run their mouth to a reporter, they will both have to meet on the frontstretch and settle it the old fashioned way, in front of all the fans! If they dont show up, they dont get their purse money!

[ZERO25]

Now, I didnt state it wasnt Bobbys fault, because it was! He mis-judged the closing rate and dumped him. But was it intentional........NO WAY!

[GEAR_HEAD]

Now, I didnt state it wasnt Bobbys fault, because it was! He mis-judged the closing rate and dumped him. But was it intentional........NO WAY!

So you're basically saying he crashes people because he's just a terrible driver. That's actually a believable defense.

[Barbecueboy]

Actually we’ve just become a society with no accountability for doing stupid sheet…..hard racing doesn’t include plowing though somebody.

That’s just hard headed…..especially the number of times it happens and then gets called a racing deal.
There’s only 2 guys on earth that thinks Bobby doesn’t take people out indiscriminately…one lives in Illinois the other, Georgia.

[Barbecueboy]

Because they know they would be charged with assault by the kitties that dumped them if they just beat their ace……

[Barbecueboy]

Exactly. Terbo talks a big game but the only thing he's done is punch 17 y/o Hudson and use his race car as a weapon

And not once ever blamed brakes, track conditions,Jbar, or any other oak wood excuse du jour.
Strange.

[Barbecueboy]

There is no difference on perspective, just difference in quantity and egregiousness……winner there, Bobby by a straightaway.

[Barbecueboy]

Illinois is lucky enough to be the hot spot for tracks and dlm's . Outside of that... its a sht hole state run by folks that should be in jail, a few dirt bags from this state have gone to jail smh... long live Illinois dlm racing tho... 落

Yup….well said Phil.

[Barbecueboy]

Good way to start a riot... also a great way to see who will back up thier barking with a bite!! 邏

There is only one member of the pierce family that terbo wouldn’t want to tangle with on the front stretch.

[ZERO25]

So you're basically saying he crashes people because he's just a terrible driver. That's actually a believable defense.

yep.......13 wins, nearly 200k in winnings! just terrible, i tell ya!...... smh

[Raceready]

yep.......13 wins, nearly 200k in winnings! just terrible, i tell ya!...... smh Yessiree Bob ! ! Thats quite a point to ponder ! ! Of course with success comes jealousy with some of inbittered members...

[kidrock]

yep.......13 wins, nearly 200k in winnings! just terrible, i tell ya!...... smh

I knew he had 13 wins and was wondering how much money he made.

[Barbecueboy]

Yessiree Bob ! ! Thats quite a point to ponder ! ! Of course with success comes jealousy with some of inbittered members...

With success comes a higher standard of accountability….not my rules, just the way it is.

Bobby hasn’t gotten that memo yet…..the first time he just says, yup, dumped him because he was in my way is the day I buy my first Bobby fn tshirt.

[james white]

Bobby was much faster as you can see how fast he ran into Madden but he could have turned left,i think he did not like Madden moving up

[Raceready]

Bobby was much faster as you can see how fast he ran into Madden but he could have turned left,i think he did not like Madden moving upI wish it would've showed the video from a little farther back where Madden was so eager to take his lane away that he moved on up to block him.

[Barbecueboy]

If he was that much faster he could have blown by him on either side ……if madden did move up to purposely block him( which he didn’t) and Bobby was that much faster and such a hall of fame driver he could have easily went by without wrecking him.

Funny to watch the denial, but it continues to be the perfect Segway to….” And they wonder why”

[Barbecueboy]

Their words, not mine………..

Dirt late models are kind of the pro wrestling of motorsports when you think about it.

It’s not nearly as wrasslin as the white trash theater that is Bowman Gray.

[jmjkfan]

It's like the guy who always gets in bar fights but it's not ever their fault. At some point your at fault for putting yourself in bad situations.
