Big News Coming Thursday?

**SlidinDirty** · 12-10-2019, 10:09 AM

In the first episode of his new "Rigsby Report" Podcast, the DoD co-founder hinted to some major news coming out of PRI on Thursday.

My guess is that Bloomquist and Madden will join Ricky Weiss with the Drydene sponsorship and all 3 of them will take their best shot at B-Shep and the Rocket bunch.

Anybody know the real news and want to divulge it earlier?

I heard that too. He said it was some of the biggest news in the industry in the last decade. I am very curious as well.

That would be my first guess as well. 2nd guess would be that this will be Bloomer's last full time year racing. 3rd guess would be something special for the World 100 50th Anniv

Did anyone hear the rumor of the World 100 paying a million dollars to win? I recall Tony Stewart saying he was going to stay with tradition and only increase it by 1,000 for the winners purse.

Moyer has said the same thing for years. I don't think Bloomquist for quit full time for awhile. He's mentioned many times.

Blue ridge labs steps out from behind the scenes and acquires the rest of Woo, New series to run open tires?

Official Race results will now be posted when the checkered flag actually falls?

Since they've already sold tickets and there wasn't a big price increase that ship has sailed.

Madden and/or Boomer going to the WoO wouldn't be this big, earth shattering news that they're teasing. Madden would be going back to the WoO after being off the tour for all of a half a season. Sure, Bloomer going back would be different, but he's flirted with the idea of going back off an on for years.

Live national tv coverage

**GottaGoFast** · 12-10-2019, 12:13 PM

Live TV coverage for every Lucas race would be fantastic!

To bad they barely even allow video coverage

Live television on the whole is a dying medium. Every day more an more people cut cable. It's nowhere near the golden goose it used to be.

Streaming is future of all media, and dirt racing on the whole was way out in front of that one already. The connectivity infrastructure needs to be updated at a lot of places, though.

No more emergency provisionals!!!!!

Weed is legal now in Illinois????

Well, now I don't wonder why as much......thanks for enlightening me.

With the injuries he has received,he is eligible!

The more I think about it, I'm thinking it is likely team Bloomer signs with WoO; because Rigsby says its people moving... early at PRI is when WRG does their signing announcements of drivers. I would agree, that if that's the big announcement, it has been greatly over stated/blown by Michael.

Every Lucas Oil Race live with every Saturday night Live on Mav as well as LORTV would be this type of bombshell news, but drivers switching no. Even if it's some head Lucas Oil officials moving to WoO, I don't see where'd it'd be some bombshell to the industry.
