How many drivers share nicknames with other drivers, perhaps from a different era?
for example, to me, there is only one Superman, (in best Pete Secret voice) Hailing out of Lost Creek West Virginia- you know him, you love him, Superman Rodney Combs!
thoughts?
A couple of years ago there was great debate over "The Reaper" Ryan Gustin and McKay Wenger.
I go by "The Jet" and there's only about 100 of them out there!
Scott Sexton is the first person that comes to mind when Superman is used in DLM racing.
.
Down here in the Carolina's if you say The Gambler is coming to the race track that usually means The Gambler Brandy Baker, since he has had that nickname since the 90's....
There used to be a guy than ran up at Mountain Motor in Isom KY...they called him superman. Cant think of his name though
There was a guy from tn that they called the TOKER! LolQuote:

Actually, I like JD's other nickname better, "The Blairsville Assassin".
How about a crossover from a different division? We DLM fans all know that T-Mac is Tim McCreadie, but if you also follow sprints you'll know that midwestern sprint car driver Terry McCarl has also been known as T-Mac for decades.
(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word), was just going to post this. Another sprint car one in Western PA there was Jamie Smith and nationally Jeff Sheppard who shared "The Jet"Quote:

I don't follow mods like i do LMs but i believe he does only run big blocks. Over the last few years hes won just about everything possible in a DIRT mod. Speaking of mods theres another Jet, Brett Hearn
