DoD Top 25

[25drtrkr]

IMO, that poll is a total joke! I like Owens and Richards, but to put Owens ahead of Josh is ridiculous. Regional drivers ahead of national drivers??? I have very little faith in their pollsters! ( I think its ran by Democrats!)

DOD top 25 is a popularity contest that gets a few right, now and then. Now my rating system, wipes the slate clean after every race. Win the race, enjoy the 15 minutes of fame and your number 1 till the next race. At the end of the year, add up the money won, subtract the money spent and highest number wins.

don't have DoD to look at the rankings, but doesn't matter. I am aware of a few who do have votes and am not impressed by the credentials/requirements. that being said, any voter who has bloomquist at #1 doesn't deserve a vote. and creates a credibility issue for the rankings.

jmo.

You're right Hustler, all those rankings are subjective, and to only a handful of people at DOD, and IMO, they only rank these guys by what they have done lately instead of the total body of work for the whole year which I endorse

JD has already been the driver of the year with Clanton a close second in my humble opinion, the Blair kid is basically a crate driver and in the years ahead he could be a successful late model driver, but to rank him ahead of a slew of drivers that we all know are better this year is not what I endorse

Dude, it's like when you post I hear the angels singing in approval in the background.

Your posts make so much sense, are well thought out and you clearly have the knowledge.

Thanks for all that you share with this site.

There should be a contest every year for 4m to vote for a forum representative to get a vote on the DoD rankings (and maybe with it a free sub to DoD). I would vote MontanaMagic for sure. I agree Okfine, his posts are always on point.

Sh!t, okfine needs share the goods he is the one that hearing angels singing to him as he reads post lol...

[Pennsboro23]

Jared Hawkins should be in the top 25.

Dam OKfine, angels singing, I hardly think so, but I appreciate where you're comin from, I just dig this sport, and I wouldn't usually comment on these so called rankings because I think they've been ( different ) all year, for lack of a better adjective. Makes me wonder sometimes if these people take the "whole " country in account when they do these rankings; it reminds me of a few years ago when they ranked the best state in the country for DLM racing. In my opinion there's at least a dozen or so states that are about the same when it comes to popularity of this sport. You could say that Pa, Ohio, Ill, Ia, Mo, Wisc, Tenn, Ky, SC, NC, Ga, Va, and even WVa ( and yes, and that's for my old beloved Pennsboro ) as states that support dirt late model racing, to me, you CANNOT pick just one, and that's the point I'm making about the top 25 in the country, just be thankful we got a race to go to in this country.

[Josh Bayko]

Jared Hawkins should be in the top 25.

I agree. If Blair is on it, then Hawkins should be too.

I believe DOD brought on board some new voters this year Montana. Maybe that's why these rankings seem little strange.

Lanigan ahead of Eckert and Chub have me scratchin my head along with Owens in the 3 spot. Clearly Richards and Clanton especially, are having a better year than Jimmy.
I would also have McDowell ranked higher than 16th. He doesn't run weekly, but every big race he enters, He's a contender.

Either way, I still enjoy everything DOD does for the sport even tho the rankings have me wondering, who did the voting

[MUD MAESTRO]

Remember a few years ago DOD ranked Brian Birkhofer in the top 10 in one of their early polls. Heck, he never ran a race and still was voted high in their poll. Had to laugh, I guess DOD felt Birky didnt have any bad outtings so lets rank him for what is does in the future.

BTW Which state was picked by DOD as best state for DLM racing? Must have missed that one.
