CONCORD, NC — Oct. 31, 2018 —DIRTvision and DirtonDirt.com – the two biggest names in live video streaming - announced today a broadcast partnership with the aim to provide live broadcast coverage of every World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series event on the 2019 season schedule, as well as the entire, grueling DIRTcar Summer Nationals tour.

“This season’s effort to ramp up the DIRTVision schedule and offer every Sprint Car Series race live was a huge success we wanted to build on,” said World of Outlaws & DIRTcar CMO Ben Geisler. “This is a big deal for both Late Model Series, delivering over 80 live broadcasts powered by DirtonDirt to our fans and increasing exposure for our sponsors, teams and tracks.”

Following DIRTVision’s Sprint Car model, Late Model shows will be offered as part of a monthly Late Model Fast Pass subscription, available both on DIRTVision and DIrtonDirt.com. Late Model Fast Pass subscribers will be able to access and view broadcasts on either channel for just $39 a month. Individual event pay-per-views will still be available for an average price of $24.99 per night.

“We’ve had a great partnership with DIRTVision for years, and we’re excited about expanding it this season," said DirtonDirt.com CEO Michael Rigsby. "They’ve helped us grow over the years on the broadcast side of things, and adding the additional dates on the World of Outlaws and DIRTcar Summer Nationals side will only make each tour stronger and put more eyeballs on our sport. That is always a good thing for everyone in the industry."

DIRTVision and DirtonDirt.com have partnered on select World of Outlaws Late Model broadcasts since 2013, offering special events throughout the year, from the DIRTcar Nationals to the Firecracker 100, the Prairie Dirt Classic for the first time ever this year, and the World of Outlaws World Finals.

“DirtonDirt.com has been a great partner throughout the years,” said DIRTVision Director of Production Brian Dunlap. “We’re excited to include them in this new vision and to continue to work with them to enhance and grow the scope of our Late Model coverage.”

The Late Model Fast Pass will include World of Outlaws Late Model Series events in addition to DIRTcar Summer Nationals coverage, from mid-June to mid-July, all at the same low monthly price.

“We are especially excited about bringing fans LIVE coverage of the DIRTcar Summer Nationals," added Rigsby. "It’s something that people have requested for a long time, and it’s awesome to be able to finally deliver it. The Hell Tour truly is a unique balance of grit, perseverance, weekly racing and guts. Most fans can’t take off for an entire month, especially through the week, so giving them this LIVE option is really cool. Covering that tour LIVE is going to be a lot of fun!”

DIRTVision and DirtonDirt.com will kick off the 2019 season at Screven Motor Speedway for the World of Outlaws Winter Freeze and then on to the DIRTcar Nationals with live video coverage of Late Model week at Volusia Speedway Park. Late Model fans will be able to purchase their Fast Pass starting in February with the entire Late Model Week from Volusia Speedway Park included in the monthly rate. Further details on the 2019 schedule and Fast Pass on sale dates will be available soon.

Your move Lucas Series

**Illtsate32** · 11-02-2018, 09:24 PM

39 a month for Woo or SN races...sounds like a deal to me...

**Snake X3** · 11-02-2018, 09:26 PM

I agree. LucasTV is a very reasonably priced coverage, but I'd like to have the option to see all their races live.

This thread may disappear, so I posted a condensed version in another thread.

This is awesome. Priced very reasonable. This is a big deal for late model fans and I hope Lucas oil tv will offer something similar.

**thexfactor0210** · 11-02-2018, 09:38 PM

This is fantastic news. Will help bring in sponsorship money as well. Good price too.

**Spanky44** · 11-02-2018, 10:22 PM

Track attendance may suffer now for local tracks that like to gauge on high ticket prices. Id rather stay home and watch the race for $39.00 plus the rest of the month than pay $40 for a ticket to see a woo race. Kudos to dirtondirt and dirtvision

**champion24** · 11-02-2018, 10:28 PM

This and Lucas Tv will possibly keep us home a good bit next year!! It is great to have that option, especially with weather issues at our local tracks! This is BIG, for our sport! Probably a few years later than it should've been, but great that it's here!

**Dlmfan123** · 11-02-2018, 11:39 PM

Pumped is an understatement!

**wfofan** · 11-02-2018, 11:51 PM

I assume tracks will get a cut, so might be a win/win...

I'd like to know those details! I heard a race on Lucas Tv, got a break on what was paid to Lucas before. If only they could pipe in the smells into our living rooms!!

**Krooser** · 11-03-2018, 12:37 AM

How many local fans will even know about this except for the diehards... not likely to make any meaningful dent in attendance imho. They are shooting for the guy who could never ever make these events like me.

I'm not in super nationals territory... six hours away at least. I dont go to speedweeks... dont go to the world finals... the last time I was at Speedweeks I was strapped in my own car not in the grandstands.

That said... it's the best deal I've seen for live coverage. I might bite... but $40 buys me two pit passes at my local track or 15 gallons of methanol...

**chathamracefan** · 11-03-2018, 12:48 AM

Outlaw sprints did it all year and it appeared their attendance was better than ever. Massive crowds most every night.

heck that's cheap. That's one pit pass for a $10k ump sn show.

**Tireguy17** · 11-03-2018, 12:00 PM

A Roku/Firestick app is now a must. If I subscribed I don’t want to be plugging my laptop into my TV to watch races.

**Illtsate32** · 11-03-2018, 12:27 PM

If you got decent wifi speed the firestick is great for watching dod or lucas app they stream great...

**thexfactor0210** · 11-03-2018, 12:28 PM

Hope they have an app on roku like lucas tv does

**TDRacin®** · 11-04-2018, 06:01 PM

Chromecast is what you want. No need for any apps! Older model (non 4K) can currently be found at Target in some places fr as little as $10! I picked up 2 last week.Otherwise they are selling for $25 and up.
