Dear Troy Baird..

[Waldo]

RossBailesracing.com Gorj, it says his next race is at Cherokee Speedway, feb. 28 and March the 1st.

I'm guessing he has some experience at Gaffney, he should do well.

When and where is your next race?

We will be at Cherokee Speedway for March Madness February 28 - March 1.

Was Baird a driver back in the 90's?

Not sure if they're related or not, Bill Baird is from Kentucky, so it's possible they could be. There used to be a Bill that ran arca in the 90s, also ran a few in the late 00's. I think Bill is into rock crawlers and stuff now days though.

I always wondered if they was some connection between the 2. When I first seen the Baird transport on a race car, I figured it was Bill.

Saw where Ross has a Clements motor for sell on Racing Junk.. wonder if this has anything to do with him driving for Baird?

I worked for one of Baird's drivers (don't want to say any names), but Troy is a total d*ck when it comes to his drivers and their success. He has a successful business and has plenty of money to back a race team. He used to field asphalt cars, but decided to cut down on the costs and start fielding dirt late models. He said that when they ran asphalt cars, money bought you success. He mentioned that he spent around $750K each year just to keep the asphalt team going. But after starting the dlm team with RLH, he just hasn't been able realize that when you race dlms, you're competing against the best money has to offer even on a "weekly show" basis. If his driver did not run good or didn't make the race, his first question was "why? You have the best equipment there is." He's had RLH, JD, William, Overton, and others but will never be happy until his driver wins every race they enter. Ask Chris Madden what he thinks of Troy... He'll tell you the same thing.

The " Steinbrenner " of dlm racing is what it sounds like your saying...........

Except his fielded teams haven't really ever won anything to speak of.......

I recall someone saying that Baird once boasted about "taking over" dirt late model racing. Remember the ant crawling up the female elephant's leg with rape on its mind? Both carry the same level of hilarity!

Sometimes when you go from 8th to 2nd in the last 10 laps the first words are why didn't we win? That question was asked even though the tire went flat entering turn 3 on the last lap.

Good at business, either does not understand or refuses to give his drivers what it takes week in week out. You can't buy wins at the highest level of dlm racing.
