Wow what an Interview by Tony Izzo Jr on Dirt late Model Live right now!

[Spanky44]

Tony poured out his heart right now about the future of lasalle speedway. Basically said if this race in June doesnt go well, lasalle will be closed. Does not see a future for the track. Guy is so passionate about the place you could hear him tearing up talking about it. One of the best interviews I ever heard from a promoter.

To me Tony is the best promoter interview in dirt racing. The one guy that absolutely knows what he is talking about because he's been there and done that. His passion for dirt racing is about as deep as anyone I know. If there is one person that truly cares about the sport as a whole it's Tony Izzo Jr. In my opinion Tony is a real promoter in every definition of the word. If you ask him a question or his opinion you will get the truth as he see's it with out any b.s.

We have to find a way to reduce expenses.

Thank you Tony for keeping LaSalle Speedway open and being a part in helping keep the sport going.

If anyone has dirtondirt, I suggest to listen to it after the show gets posted up.

It’s March, so figured the sympathy card was gonna be played by Izzo again.

I've read that book.......it's a short story.

I've read that book.......it's a short story.

........Full of assumptions.

Personally, I’m loving this “huskerdirt never goes to the races” banter that’s been constantly spewed on here for the better part of 4 years. It’s like your go to when you all get pissed. What’s funny is that none of you know me or have even met me. Yet, here you are.....

Anywho, I wish Mr Izzo the best this weekend and in the future.

Walks like a duck......

That’s all you got??

Lmao.

[Barbecueboy]

All your worth.........


Mr Izzo doesn't really need your approval to be a success.

Husker,

Couple quick ?'s.

1) Have you ever attended a race at LaSalle?
2) Do you know Mr. Izzo?

Full disclosure...I have never been to a race at LaSalle. Bought tix and hotel room back in 2011, the year the Illini was slated to be there and Mother Nature won. Will try again this summer.

I do not know Mr. Izzo and have never met him.

Curious, how long you've personally known the man as to know his intentions and state he's playing the "sympathy" card in an attempt to dismiss his comments about hoping to keep the place open.

I'd also really like to hear more about all the work/sacrifices you've personally made to promote dirt late model racing in Illinois/Wisconsin.

Be glad you have a joint like I-80 in your neck of the woods that is doing well. Lot of people losing $$ across the country trying to keep the pit gates open.

He don't even go to i80 that's the sad part
