Probably not but everybody has one.8/13/16 -
Everyone does need a nickname because nicknames and catch phrases are about 75% of a WRG late model broadcast... Am I wrong that most of the local track announcers do a better job than the announcers the series brings?Comment

Negative, if everyone has a nickname then nicknames lose some of their special/cool factor. My favorite is when someones nickname doesn't denote speed. I've heard enough "Rockets, Missile's, Bandit's, Hurricane's" for one lifetimeTyler Williams, Announcer for the Southeast Dirt Modified Series, co-host of The Half Priced Concessions Podcast - available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, YouTube and on www.anchor.fm/HPCpodcastComment

Does every late model driver need a nickname?
NO!Comment
-
They don’t, but nicknames do tend to make their way to their merchandise, so I don’t think the drivers mind.Comment

No, nicknames should be earned. Rick doesn't understand that.Comment

I agree. Rick thinks every driver should have one automatically.Originally posted by Pennsboro32 View Post
A nickname should be earned not given. Kind of like people wanting handouts with no work.Last edited by HoosierDirtFan; 08-11-2021, 01:01 PM.Nathan Stephens

I think Rick just likes nicknames because it’s probably easier to remember and quicker to spit out. I was at a WoO race about ten years ago and Rick was chiming in with the local announcer to give the local crate support division drivers nicknames if they didn’t airway have one.Originally posted by Pennsboro32 View PostComment
