Hey Rick Eshelman....

[dirt crow]

How'd you like working with that screaming idiot at Senoia?

[ChrisNunn]

Rick does what every industry figure should do, stays off social media and message boards and respects his fellow announcers.

[TerryM]

We were at Senoia last night. Honestly, I don't think I ever even one time heard whomever it is you're referring to as the "screaming idiot".

[slmcrewchief99]

As I watched it this morning on DoD, I did my usual when I heard that annoying voice. I turned off the speakers and watched it in silence. Thank goodness I'm not an "industry figure" and have to keep my mouth shut on social media.

I laughed.

Some of these guys take the gig a little to serious. One clown in my area professes to be a PhD. Another I have heard likes to introduce himself to random strangers under his "stage name".

[NormP]

Is dirt track announcer considered an "industry"?

Sounded that way from the post before mine.

I guess you are not as good of an "industry figure" as Rick is ?

You've been making yourself look like an idiot for years, keep digging.

[MEE]

yep had to mute it again.

I stopped giving a (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) what faceless internet people have to say about me.

Maybe when someone actually says something to me in person one day, I'll take you seriously. Been at this since 2001 and still, it's all keyboard jockeys who type tough, but are all smiley to my face. Everyone slams Dewayne for just doing his JOB, which is to call a race, but you won't pull him aside in person and tell him what you think. I've offered many people a chance to get up and grab a microphone and give it a try. In 16 years, TWO people have taken me up on the offer. It's not easy, at all. It's not a job just anyone can do.

Criticism is taken more seriously when it's done face to face and constructive. I've burned 1000 bridges in this business, actually I've probably blown them up while standing on them, but it's not a big deal to me. I'm quite happy in my little gig in southern Indiana, calling my local guys and helping them out. Telling me "oh you'll never make it big", and that is just absolutely fine with me.

Continue on, I've definitely heard worse

IN THE WORDS OF MC HAMMER, ITS HAMMER TIME!!!

Oh Wait was that MC Hammer that said that or was it Bobby Brown???

[jog49]

My two cents worth has never changed in decades of racing: Before the engines fire, tell me who is driving car # so and so and where that driver is from. You can then pack your microphone and go home. I have never been to a track where one could hear anything when the race has started.

When I've heard you I thought you were pretty good...not that my opinion matters to you.

I've said a number of times that I liked Dwayne when I first heard him. I thought he WAS funny and original. But in my OPINION the last two seasons he's gone way over the top. And even though I'm not particularly religious, the "GOD ALMIGHTY" he added to his repertoire really annoys me. The race from Senoia was the first one I turned way down. I didn't mute it, but like with Matt Prieur (or however you spell it) last year, I'll just stop watching the videos if he doesn't get it under control.

And I don't mean that to slam anyone, but this is a message board where we discuss and express opinions and those of us that have DoD are gonna have an opinion on it. When you're in the public eye, you have to expect it.

[Black I]

Sounds to me like if you have an opinion here you have to meet up "face to face" lol. It would appear that Crissy here is an angry little cuss who wants to have it out with you if you have an opinion he don't like... Thats real pro right there now hahahaha.....

[Black I]

Who was "talking tough"???

The answer to that is... it's being recorded and they have to announce during the race where it can be heard (TV, PPV...). So then shut off the PA at the track right? Lol, they just like to hear themselves scream clever crap for self amusement
