    Default Dirt Million

    Is it me or does the Dirt Million not seem as popular this year?

    Not to be mean. I think it's a cool event; but I've got a few friends calling it the "Phoney Million" and "FAKE MILLION" .

    Wonder if Madden will win this race too. 4 weeks in a row on this streak would be impressive for any type of motorsports.

    Maddens car is currently much better than the competition. He has to be the favorite.

    Need to send in some money so they can pay out a big purse then the hype will pick up at your expense.

    I went on record before the 1st one last year stating the biggest purse would be year one, and any years after would continue to drop in donations/interest.

    Madden and Bloomer in far superior cars. Evident. Some bad luck is about the only that may beat them.

    Regardless of the name will still be largest winner’s payout of the year.

    Came last year. Coming this year. I support Cody in what he’s trying to do. But the race name has gotta change. It’s really false advertising.

    I think the hype wore off but accomplished its purpose. Attention getter at the highest> I don't think any of us thought it would pay that after seeing the guide lines. But is still a big deal.

    Answer the question on Madden winning. Most likely if the Bloomer cars run good there. There is always a chance they won't be quite as dominate. If i remember, Bloomers car was not dominate last year like it is at most tracks. I think what Madden has done shows what good drivers can do with great cars. However, I hope this race is a little more entertaining up front.

    We will be there mid day Thursday, working on the local #36 car of Matt Irey. We are camping in the pits and will be around his hauler all weekend. His race shop is just a few miles up the road so probably end up there as well throughout the weekend.

    Stop by and say "Hello"!

    If the race had a different name, I don't think people would care as much about the hype for it. And it should have a different name.

    The drivers and race teams know the story and so do the fans about the name. Big deal,,,,,
    I hate time trials.

    From a fan standpoint, there was a lot of confusion last year. Now, I think most understand the misdirection.

    I had no confusion at all, all it takes is knowing how to read and comprehend what was read.

    I agree, but it’s still a stupid name.
