Good luck to them!

I've always said when Dennis goes into the Dirt Track Hall of Fame, Heather needs to be included, too. Hall of Fame duo. Our dirt track version of Alan Kulwicki.

… and the fact that Heather has a full-time engineering job as well is pretty amazing!

A Netflix crew could follow them for a season and make a heck of a documentary.

I’m not taking that bet! Still the same ol boring looking car, just different chassis.

Would it be more exciting for you with Scooby-Doo all over it? Lol!!

I agree, would love to see someone put together a low dollar film setup and follow a team each season and put out content.
I think it would help open the eyes to a lot of the public as to what it really takes to get up and down the road each season.

I'm not gonna say it...I swear.

While it was very informal and not really a full-out production, I always enjoyed the "Speedweeks:Crewman Diary" pieces that DoD used to put out. It was a decent, albeit just a small glimpse, behind-the-scenes real life look at the non-glamorous side of a full-time traveling late model team. Not sure if they're still doing them or not.

Rigsby said ladt week they would not be doing it this year at speedweeks.
the drive home will happen again.

I was just trying to think of all the drivers that got faster in a Capital. Here's a list.............

[Highside Hustler25]

Maybe they cut him a heck of a deal.

Dennis is way more capable than most of these cats. I've seen him win at EB in a Rayburn with Mastersbilt spindles

Yeah but what year was that? I get the feeling Rocket is about to make a resurgence and he's going to miss out.

I hope so. Capital cars seem to be fast for about 15 laps of a feature and that's about it.

Trying to find some speed again I assume. Got to remember : he is still doing it the old school way -mainly just he/Heather.
How many drivers these days are owners/drivers?
Imagine: getting ready to leave the shop- drivjng the hauler- arriving/unloading at track- working/adjusting during the race night- loading everything back up into the hauler- then getting behind the wheel and driving to next race or back home.
Very, very few do what he does.
So on these thoughts - I definitely admire his determination.
We still need these racers in our sport!!

But maybe having some help would result in better results? Gotta be a burnout doing it all. Admirable, yes. Averaging about a 15th place finish on a national tour, also yes.
