No to all above .

[Josh Bayko]

This season isn’t even over yet.

[hoosier race fan]

This season isn’t even over yet.

Does the Gateway Dirt Nationals mark the end of the 2025 season?

[Highside Hustler25]

Will the sun set tonight?

Will cows continue to produce milk?

Will cars still run on gas?

After eating ham and beans tonight, will I have gas in the morning?

Will the above poster continue to post silly content?

things that make you go hmmm...

#14. Not sure he’s ready yet but should have a lot of eyes watching.

Someone tosses out some ideas and instead of a discussion these are the responses? Go back to Facebook.

By now you'd think people know anyone backing Overton to race a whole season on a big tour is wasting their money.

World Finals

This season isn’t even over yet.

silly season has already started so i see no reason not to discuss 2026. all real info given in response to these questions is appreciated. thanx in advance!

HOWEVER FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WERE TRIGGERED BY MY POST: PLEASE GO AHEAD AND JUST IGNORE IT! GO TO YOUR SAFE SPACE, PRAY, MEDITATE, AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SURVIVE. IM PULLING FOR YOU!

-Josh Richards doesn't have it in him. He reminds me of baby Billy Moyer Jr. Too soft. Josh will be the Rocket test car driver.

-RTJ will keep making a living in late models. That pays the bills. But I think we will see him run more and more open wheel.

-Cade will keep doing what he is doing. His family and business is whats important to him.

-Terbo will keep doing what he did this year. He doesn't have the mental discipline inside of a racecar to be a Lucas Oil/WoO Champ.

-I hope to see more good things from Josh Rice and Ethan Dotson.

-I wonder about BShepp. He just keeps on struggling by his standards. Rocket going to build a car fit for him? lol Might as well bring back the original XR1

-When does Dirt on Dirt shut down? I see less and less material on there every year. They barely try anymore.

It wouldn't surprise me if they just made it a page on FLO. I miss being able to watch replays all summer every Sunday morning. Big news stories are shared through social media before DoD ever gets wind of them anyway.

Disagree. He's a better driver than many guys on the National Tours
