Dirt on dirt Sunday morning

[bleedblue55]

DOD did good, you had Richmond pics up last night. The Air Max/Tyler Carpenter tribute car is going to Charlotte so I'm sure it will get some exposure. Not sure if Dohm is heading there.

Hey all ... thought I'd drop a note on this one. There were set to be three ... 10-thousand to win shows this weekend, and we were either LIVE from or had highlights planned for all of them. (Wythe, Richmond, Pike County). (Not counting the Columbus, MS event that in years past we typically wouldn't have had video coverage from being that it wasn't a super late model event). Wythe rained out, Pike County we had covered, and Richmond we did as well, until we had a shooter's car break down ... the MORNING OF the event! (ugh) ... He was literally on his way. We contacted every one we knew in the area and just couldn't get it covered. And trust me with them paying tribute to Jackie, it broke my heart not to have it. Sometimes that happens, and it did this past weekend. For reference, however ... we have covered more events in 2019-2020 ... by 34% than we have any other year. So any idea that our coverage is "less" ... or "not as much" in the past 12 months, or since Flo acquired the company simply isn't correct. Flo owning DoD has absolutely nothing to do with any of it, and they have encouraged DoD to continue doing what made us great! So we will continue to do that. Hope that clears a few things up, and that everyone is surviving the year! Michael RigsbyDirtonDirt.com/FloRacing

Thank you for replying mr Rigsby.I am a fan & customer of dod for the past 5 years.I understand when company's grow change happens.Some change is good & some is bad but all change is made to try & better the company financially & the paying customer.Me as a customer my favorite thing about dod was going to a race in person sat night then waking up sun morning & enjoying 5-10 local,regional or national replays.I am just pointing out what I really enjoyed.I know everybody has different opinions & you can't please everyone but thank you Mr.Rigsby for trying.Your reply shows you truly care about your customers.In lasting I am a huge fan of dod & meant no disrespect.

Is FLO going to have a bias toward Rocket Chassis drivers too? Asking for a friend...

What bias do they have ? Its not their fault lucas, woo and the hell tour were dominated by rockets. this is racing what do you want them to do concentrate more on the guy's running 4th on back?

I'm guessing that understanding sarcasm isn't one of your major strengths.

To be fair, sarcasm over the internet is kinda hard to judge.

Penns, that is actually fair. It sounded more funny in my Arkansas-(un)educated brain than it did in text. But it was honestly mean to be a harmless joke. Me and SnakeX3 (which I haven't seen or heard from him in a while, I hope he is OK) have a running joke about how much DOD used to flaunt over the Rocket cars/teams (AKA Richards).

...and I'm that friend, friend. Thanks for asking.

I don't actually care and i did think it was funny. I just get a kick out of how rowed up people get over dod standings and such. But for the most part this year and last have kinda been a landslide for team "Richards"

No unbiased reporting would be anything but crowing the amazing season B-Shep and Rocket have had this year....or last year. The thing is that DoD has always seemed very pro-Rocket, whether it's Richards in the past, or B-Shep and Erb more recently. Rigsby and Suave are the types of guys that get giddy over their teams, no matter what the sport. It's part of their personality. It's not that they are against other chassis or drivers, it's just they are in love with the Rocket boys no matter who is on their team. And that is fine. Who really cares? But denying it is the first sign.... not you DoD.
