    DoD Summer Nationals coverage

    I know some other guys on this board probably noticed but DoD’s coverage of the hell tour has already started out lack luster. I remember the reason I first subscribed to them was because of their hell tour coverage. Now for the prerace coverage we have to watch just Derek talk into a webcam(not his strong suit)and a zoom call with whoever. Used to get 2 videos and a they would interview the top 3 after. I see they didn’t do a recap for last night… I hope it’s just first race issues but as I’m sitting here watching the 2nd dswauve zoom call I’m really doubting it. Flow is awesome but it killed Dirt On Dirt imo. Hope I’m just overreacting. Ps I still miss Late Model Live

    If I were guessing it's probably because dirtvision has limited what they can do. From a fan perspective, it really stinks with all the different platforms to watch. I would agree that Dirtondirt isn't what it once was.

      Rigsby is not full time with DOD now that he sold to Flo and got promoted up the corporate ladder. Flo is a good thing- but DOD has suffered with Rigsby’s absence.

          I love DoD, but the zoom call that has replaced the Summer Nats Minute kinda stinks.

          The Dirt Reporters Podcast used to be something I looked forward to. It's tough to get through nowadays.

            Totally agree, especially with all the different platforms to watch on.

              I enjoyed the drive home but I guess they only do that during Florida speed weeks

                  Dirtvision doesn’t allow DOD to show heat race replays for the WOO/ Summernationals or other shows they cover. I understand their thinking on the revenue $$- but the Series, teams, drivers, tracks and sponsors are loosing the publicity that DOD would be giving them.
                  Yes Flyboy- the “Drive Home” is just for Fl/Ga Speedweeks. ( could/ could not return for 2023 if I understood them correctly this past February)

                    I hate that but I guess Flo controls that now. Rigsby and gang know late model racing inside and out

                      They should just rename it Derek on Dirt (with his boyfriend Turdmo). It's sad how far DoD has sunk.

                        I see where the long closed Red Hill Raceway has scheduled a SN race!!
                        If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!

                          Maybe because they were running late but I always watch the post race interviews. I know that DIRTVision can’t keep them from doing that

                            I'm not going to lie. I enjoy everything puts out there for us to watch now, but I kinda miss the old DoD days. When we got real post race interviews that weren't already recorded. Especially around this time of year.

                              I'm holding out hope that they do the stats for the SN like they have in past years but the Summernationals minute surely isn't the same not being at the track. There is nothing Dirtcar can do to prevent them from doing that.
