XR Buys SAS!

[johnE]

Per DoD, XR has purchased the long running Southern Allstar Series.

I’m unsure what this portends for the future of SLM racing but this continues the trend of increasing investment in the business of dirt racing.

Perhaps we will see the continued acquisition of regional series by those parties seeking to secure broadcast rights for streaming content. Investors are betting that the market for viewers of SLM streaming content still has growth potential. I tend to agree with that position, and innovative marketing needs to drive the search for new subscribers and in person attendees.

Wow. I do also agree with your thoughts. I’m glad super late model racing is very strong right now.

I agree that the streaming market is huge, and this looks like the direction its heading. I don't think this will hurt attendance very much either.
Personally, I'm going to hit 2 to 3 LOLMDS races and 1 or 2 WoO races per year, whether I have subscribed to their services or not. Having the services just means I get to see the ones I wouldn't normally attend. I've never passed up a potential race that I would have attended to watch on TV.

Just a few more acquisitions to go...

XR Mid West Series
XR Atlantic Series

A thought.

The XR Super Series is the biggest thing to hit dirt racing since Doug Bland and Xtreme. Since it first popped up on the scene I've made the assumption that it was bankrolled by Marcus Smith. I have seen no actual proof of who is behind it, but I am sure plenty of people know. Anyone care to fill in the rest of us who is behind the curtain.

Is this the case or just the biggest thing since the NDRL?

Very very very good question and yes I assume Marcus is behind it.

Hello sir, XR and the XR Super Series has nothing to do with Marcus Smith and SMI outside of hosting races at their facilities. The company is owned entirely by Barry and Jennifer Braun out of Silver Bay, Minnesota with no investors or partners. We have an awesome team of people working behind the scenes to put on these events and work with these regional series and we are looking forward to an awesome 2022. See you guys at the races.

At this point I don’t have much interest mainly because without any highlights of races being shared with DOD or via YouTube or anywhere else except by paying for a subscription to XR I have no idea the quality of their racing or broadcasts, etc.

Well duh, I think we all know who they are owned by.
It was just a thought that someone else present on Facebook and it made a bit of sense to a certain point.

Just an observation... Seems like they are selling a lot of sizzle right now, but I'm not sure how much steak there is to it. Not trying to be a party-pooper, but this could be a travelling vaudeville show...

Thanks for the update. Thanks to the Braun family for investing into SLM racing 👍

I will just have to say goodbye to SAS. $40 a month a little to steep for me.

The quality of their shows, seem to be between Mav and dirtvision, and nowhere near as good as Flo's stuff. Everybody trashes Eshelman, but he is 100xs better than the guys that do the XR shows. I dont think I will be sinking another $40 a month into another streaming service for now.
