Just seen a Go Fund Me page to help Ricky Weiss join the Lucas Oil Tour. GOAL $200K.

It's things like this that give us millennials a bad reputation with the other demographics of society. There are good, hard working, young folks out there

[BloomerHarvickFan]

I think stuff like this is the unintended consequences of the Dirt Million. Everybody is oohing and ahhing about that race, but all it does is validates guys looking for handouts. I mean if people will give handouts to watch a race purse grow, they'll give handouts to get a guy into a series he can't afford

[Highside Hustler25]

Sorry but Go fund me should for people that need help from things that go wrong not this....

Exactly. If you can't fund your own racing team or find sponsors, find another hobby.

If Gerald Newton thinks the kid is ready for the Lucas Oil Series, why not sponsor him with his Arizona Sports Shirts brand, and give him the money he needs????

Their ya go.
Even tho I doubt Gerald is behind it. Why would he back Weiss and not someone else? Their are a lot of candidates out there that could use the backing.

The thing is today millennials some were raised Like my bros kids. Work hard and you will go I earned that..And some think You owe them just cause there here. Hard work cant be replaced...

The GoFundMe page was started by Gerald Newton from Indianapolis, IN.
If you go to the page, it's right there. I'm not sure why he's involved, but it looks like he is.

Good. Ridiculous. You can either afford it or you cannot.

I would donate to a good cause, not to any one person to run a race car for any reason. Except if they had terminal cancer or something and it was their last year.

[BloomerHarvickFan]

You know what's funny? I think I just got kicked out at least one, maybe 2 Bloomquist Facebook fan groups, for disagreeing with this whole GoFundMe thing, and saying so.
No cussing, fighting, or anything crass or rude. Just stating an opinion and discussion on this.
The way some fans are, makes me not even want to be a Bloomquist fan sometimes.

[UMPDream]

Why is everyone against what the guy is doing? Someone above mentioned "If they cant find sponsors, find another hobby". Hell, that's what the man is doing. Oh, so your saying that if a guy runs a stupid sticker on the car, that justifies a hand out as opposed to a team getting money from a go fund me page? LMAO. Everyone in Dirt wants a handout and you know what, if handouts didn't happen, we could cut the fields in half because of the expense. Trust me, there have been more ridiculous things found on Go Fund Me....

If you were doing good and had some money coming in consistently would you sponsor someone?

[smoothoperator32]

i would imagine it violated gofundme terms and got shut down like it should have been

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Maybe. But I doubt it. I’d rather donate to St. Judes, a good veterans group, animals, something like that.

If i won Powerball i know 3 or 4 driver just piss in there pants over it...
