XR Series Questions

How do you call somthing in the middle of the week a working man’s series

[Josh Bayko]

That’s a whole lot of travel for a “working man’s series”.

This whole deal is either a money laundering operation or a financial reincarnation of the NRDL.

I'm not gonna study all the schedules together but looked at the belleville race and seems like they are booking races really close to other races where guys will be in the area.

Example belleville race for xr is 6-21

There is smlr races on the 6-16 at Junction Motor Speedway and 6-17 at Beatrice Speedway

Then after the belleville race, these races are in the general area

6/23 81 Speedway WOO Park City, KS
6/24 81 Speedway WOO Park City, KS
6/25 Off Road Speedway WOO Norfolk, NE
6/27 Mason City Speedway WOO Mason City, IA
6/30 CJ Speedway Mlra Columbus, IA
7/1 i70 Speedway Mlra Odessa, MO

belleville to 81 speedway is about 2.5 ish hours
belleville to Junction Motor Speedway or Beatrice Speedway is an hour away from each

This was just posted on the XR Events Facebook page a few hours ago.

Honestly why have 2 series? Just put them both under one umbrella & call it the XR Late Model Tour.

The whole XR deal is weird to me. Or at least it’s weird to me now…like I can’t figure the whole operation out. Clearly they have the money to put their hand in a number of different things, without any real long term commitment to anything. As someone who loves dirt late model racing, I’m careful not to knock anyone investing in the sport and providing more events for both the racer and the fan. But my thoughts are that folks are beginning to see through whatever facade XR put on when they busted onto the scene, and it may spell a premature end to their dirt foray.

That's because they've never really even told us what their mission or goal is. Everything seems to be behind closed doors. Personally, I still don't know anyone with an XR subscription. Just weird all the way around to me.

Same here. I don't know any one of my racing buddies who has ever subscribed to watch an XR race, including the first year at Bristol, when it was a big deal and they had over 1000 cars in attendence. Not wishing any ill will towrds the folks at XR, I just don't know how they are paying the money. Maybe there are more fans secretly streaming their races?

That’s one thing that’s for certain about Flo/DoD…they always seem to have a plan. With XR, it’s like watching somebody throw bread at a window and see if it sticks.
