      Isn't any racer asking for sponsorship asking for a handout? This is just a different way to go about it.

          Go fund me can be used for anything. People use it to get money to start a business, fund their training to get to the Olympics, or to market an invention in addition to helping the sick and needy

            Im sure go fundme can be used for anything, but in my eyes and many others its best used to help a sick kid or adult that could really use the money. I have ripped on rusty schlenk many times for a fan of his putting together a go fundme, so more of the same from me now with ricky weiss. If you have enough money to race it is really lame to ask for donations. Same reason im not supporting the dirt million race. You want me to give you money to race and then pay to watch you race. Pretty amazing how many people dont have a problem with this. I will make sure i never buy a weiss shirt or support him in any way, keep begging for money from normal working people hope that works out for you.

                I don't understand the outrage either. All sponsorship money could have a better altruistic use.

                      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.
                      Well sounds like them two groups not even worth being in. Sounds like some liberal democracy would do.

                      That gofund looked shady as can be. Use someone else name to start your own gofund.
