ELDORA SPEEDWAY: 45th Annual World 100 Entry Forms now posted - DRIVER LIST ROLL CALL

[Barbecueboy]

Why remove Kevin Weaver? I was really looking forward to seeing him there. Jimmy John should step up and get him a motor. That man's got the money....

Kills me how people try and spend other people's money............but, it appears to be the norm now in America.

I hope Kevin makes it to eldora this year.

I just checked his website it says Eldora I would say he probably will be there

I agree with the above statement.

I agree with the above statement.

I am simply stating that Jimmy John's has money and instead of throwing 10k or whatever he did to Weaver to run weekly around Illinois he could spare an extra 10k for Weaver to be relevant at the biggest dirt race in America. I never spend money that isn't mine but I do spend a hefty amount on kevin Weaver and Jimmy john's and I do believe that entitles me to reply on some forums on what I would like to see that sponsorship money go towards. Maybe I'm wrong. I support them I voted when I went through the drive thru and when I bought the shirt. All I'm saying is get this man to the world and give him a shot to make it. He makes the field and take the start money, Jimmy John's will take the profit of the t shirt sales and just maybe...make his money back on his investment. (If you couldn't tell I got butt hurt by that statement because I've worked hard my entire life and am not the one spending others money) end of rant I'll shut up now and you can continue with your life, thanks for reading. Go B12

So because you spend your money Jimmy Johns and Kevin Weaver. Some how that entitles you to tell Jimmy Johns how to spend there sponsorship money. And to also tell Kevin Weaver where to go?

That is where I have a problem with dirt fans. You aren't entitled to anything. Spend your money how you see fit....... But until your name is almost visible on a race car you have no business telling anyone how to make a business decision.

Well said Husker. Just wait till Kotex becomes a sponsor, then a bunch of women on the rag will be getting all pi$$y.

Wow, I thought I used the words should. Maybe I said this guy must give kevin x amount of dollars or else but I didn't I did what everyone on here does I gave my opinion of what a guy does with his money. I could be wrong but the Jimmy John's cooperation wasn't sitting around someday and said Kevin Weaver, I believe that's where we will invest our sponsorship dollars. I do believe that is out of the main man's (or someone close to him) kind heart. I don't think Kevin somehow reaches enough fans on almost any level to make much money for the company. Kevin Harvick, yes. And you should really understand the role that customers opinions make on a company's decision to do things. Look at Arby's for example, until yesterday I have never received free food for going through their drive thru with my badge on, but yesterday the world goes to social media to bash them for what some worthless employee did that had nothing to do with them and bang every officer gets a free meal (I don't agree that some places give free meals to some professions as if they somehow are more important than others, why don't they teachers get a free meal? Back to my point). Same with insert every business/cooperation in America. What their customers want, they try to get them and why???? Because they want customers to continue giving the money they make every Friday buying their product. Your opinion may not entitle you to chit to that 16 year old behind the counter but to that millionaire behind the name it does. Now not on this level will I ever make a difference to see my driver get more money but I bet you if enough people requested a Jimmy john's car at the World. Guess what car would be at the World. Enjoy your morning coffee!

Yes, you are entitled to your opinion just as everyone else is, and if somebody don't like it, then that's their problem!!!

[Barbecueboy]

Well then why get all defensive and pissy when other people ( like myself and husked)state their opinions too???

If the poster thinks so strongly that JJ should pony up for another motor for Kevin, then he should be petitioning him at JJ headquarters, I doubt the owner of JJ is a member of 4m.

[GotDirt1313]

Who's getting all defensive and pissy??? (besides you) The guy simply said that he'd "like" to see the JJ co. spend some money on his driver, then get's told "who gives you the right" nobody said you weren't entitled to yours either...geeez

If they are giving you free food now for your service( thank you btw), then they should have been giving you free food then for your service.........#shallowresponsefromarbys.
My comment about spending others money was a generalization of how most fans think there favorite drivers sponsors should do this and that for the driver and its fans.

When in reality, nobody really knows what goes on behind the scenes financially except for the sponsor and sponsor-ee..........I'm with you on supporting your driver, but to say a sponsor should do this or do that when you have no idea of what the sponsor does for the team already is kinda pointless.

Call JJ if you feel so strongly......your apt to get more results.

Be safe and thanks again for protecting your community.

Actually got dirt, this is what he said........

I don't see where it says " he would like for JJ to give Kevin money"

[Barbecueboy]

Who's getting all defensive and pissy??? (besides you) The guy simply said that he'd "like" to see the JJ co. spend some money on his driver, then get's told "who gives you the right" nobody said you weren't entitled to yours either...geeez

Had he first said it like you describe then I think everybody would be in full agreement............can't read what he meant to say, only what he did say.

I'd like to see a lot of sponsors pour in more money, but I'm not going to get on a public forum and speculate on their disposable sponsorship monies and tell them what they should or shouldn't do with them........I'm happy with the fact they are even in our relatively obscure, non mainstream sport.

Back to the topic, thanks for the updates on who is or isn't coming.

[GotDirt1313]

I guess I should've known that you'd be the one start in on me for defending someone, but anyway.... in the attachement is what I was referring to... so yes, the guy did hammered for only voicing an opinion

Well that didn't work, so this is what I was refering to
