I feel like this gent scraping mud on @KraigKinser’s car may be incredibly overqualified for that job.

To clarify; I have opted not to return to announcing @USACNation in ‘24. I do dearly love USAC racing & all the fine folks there but I felt I needed a change. Not sure where this change will lead but I would like to thank @IndyRichie, @KirkSpridgeon & the gang for everything.

Update: Emmett overruled and brought @TMezdriftz back into the Sagenet.
I'll also say, with all that was on the line and the way everything went down, I thought T-Mez handled himself exceptionally well. I'd have fought the pace truck if it had been me. 😆
𝑹𝒂𝒘 𝑽𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒐 𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘 - @TMezDriftz gets escorted out of the SageNet Center for throwing his steering wheel at an official after his crash in the B-Main tonight.

I’ll be honest, I’m pretty excited about this!
“I’ve always been a huge fan of USAC and, in my opinion, it’s the most exciting racing on dirt. For me, it’s a lot like coming home.”
@ChetChristner returns as the play-by-play voice for all 99 USAC National events in 2022 on @FloRacing.

Standing in line for my coffee this morning and listening, I am blown away by the number of folks who don’t give a simple “thank you.”
It costs absolutely nothing to be polite and have good manners, yet it makes the world a much nicer place.

It was quite the honor to be recognized when there are so many fine folks at @USACNation. Thank you.
On Thursday afternoon at the @prishow, @ChetChristner was the recipient of a Special Appreciation award from @USACNation.
Over the past several years, Christner has announced hundreds of USAC events on the PA & on @FloRacing.
Congratulations, friend. 👍

Fellow Drivers of America,
There are virtually no vehicles sold without cruise control these days. Please open your manual, familiarize yourself with its operation, then proceed to use it while traveling our interstates. Fast, slow, I don’t care. Pick a number & stick with it.

Just spent a few fun moments reading all the comments left by “fans” complaining about @lincolnspeedway adding a race, complaining about the weather, complaining about streaming and one gent who was just complaining in general.
Reasons why I’ll never, ever promote a race track.

One of my favorite things in the world is the sound of a racetrack early in the morning. Impacts, air hoses, the click of torque wrenches, muted conversation, metal ringing and scraping. All of it.

So... that escalated quickly. 😳
I’ll just say this;
-I’m always going to make a mistake here and there. My style is too fast and too off the cuff to be 100% accurate all the time and I (and I love this part) announce too many different divisions over too large of a geographic.

With that, my announcing season comes to a close and what a stellar race to end on!
Next, off to @GatewayDirt in a couple of days followed by @prishow & @TulsaShootout to start cranking out some @FloRacing content for the remainder of the year.

Close to kicking off @USACNation season which means it's about time to #DropTheHamma
I know some folks are tired of hearing it but it's a hit with the kids so it's here to stay. Either join in (my preference) or plug your ears. Meanwhile, here's why I (we) say it that way.

I just want to go on record as saying our entire @FloRacing announcing staff at @TulsaShootout are second to none. A massive amount of entries, a massive amount of racing and they just cruise right through it all. Engaging, knowledgable and entertaining across the board.

Folks angry about the format (which was known at the beginning of the season), folks angry about the track (which made the drivers get up on the wheel) & folks angry about the final slidejob (which was worth $200k & didn’t wreck anyone). I, however, was highly entertained.

To the folks complaining about @cbnationals track prep, let’s remember they nailed it for five solid nights this week & a majority of the day today. They missed the setup on the one 55 lap race, on the longest day of the week, all with cars on a completely different tire.

Two things:
1- Solid thoughts from someone with experience.
2- Why am I not surprised it's a nice, organized list on a phone that is fully charged and ready for the day. Attention to detail, folks. Attention to detail.
Here’s my thoughts on this years/future Chili Bowl. Let me know your thoughts or opinions to keep making this a bigger and better event like we all want it.

to have a good time, or at least we should be. Life is too short to live angry so don’t get yourself throttled up for nothing.

Wild the difference in opinion on various social media with this article. On Twitter, Sprint Car peeps are “He’s awesome!” & on Facebook the NASCAR peeps are “Cherry picking from poor local guys.” This is where we need to educate the @NASCAR side about dirt, not ridicule.

Two minor things that disturb me about our society because I feel like they indicate a larger problem.
-No one stops to let folks back out of their parking space anymore.
-So few people thank the steward/stewardess when they hand them their drink.
I blame it on all the selfies.

Throwing this out there; all the drivers that took part in the @cbnationals broadcast on @FloRacing did a phenomenal job & a big tip of the cap to the announcing team for being able to meld so many personalities, and meld them well, across the board.
Extremely well done by all!

Observation: Far too many fans are obsessed with track prep. If it was a good race and your contribution to the comments is complaining about track prep, you need to step back and reflect.
If it’s good, it doesn’t matter if it’s tacky, slick, dusty, narrow... IT WAS A GOOD RACE!

No need to tire test at the Million. Why, you ask? Because all right rears are custom stamped and must be purchased on property. @HoosierTire is quite busy.

Not sure how many races we broadcast in ‘14 or ‘15 but in ‘16 @SpeedShiftTV broadcast 67. In ‘17 it was 158, in ‘18 we jumped to 208 & as it sits right now, 334 in 2019.
We are fortunate to be working with a lot of great people to make this happen & I wanted to say thank you all.

Watching @USACNation #HoosierHundred on @FloRacing and Carmen Perigo stepped up and took responsibility for that wreck out of two. I’m impressed. Everyone likes to take credit, rarely do people take responsibility. That’s a man of honor.

How awesome are USAC’s Non-Wing Sprints? Well, after the feature tonight one of the neighbors from ACROSS THE STREET came over to complain about the mud bouncing off their house & a broken window. I’ll say it again. Across. The. Street.

So...
This morn we received messages/comments from upset people who are ticked that:
1- People are at a track & sitting close to one another in our most recent broadcast (it was a rebroadcast of a ‘15 event).
2- $200 winner’s purse won’t even pay for gas (it was a sim race).

I was a little amazed that there are still people out there who haven’t figured out how to comfortably wear a mask but then I realized there are also people out there who can’t keep their pants up either so I guess it all makes sense.

I’d like to go on record as saying @bryanhulbert is extremely good at what he does. Few announcers, and I’m definitely not one of them, can open a ceremony in such a manner. From introductions, to paying respect, to bringing the event to life. It’s a gift and he has it.

Apparently I have a thing for orange cars because this one cocks my pistol.
SuperMods, Winged Sprints and Midgets on tap here at @BullringLVMS & the @OWShowdown. So cool to see so many fast cars and fine folks here in my old stomping grounds. Should be a freakin’ awesome show!

My suggestion is that promoters watch the live stream from their event with absolutely no fast forwarding. Watch the whole show in real time and “clock” different aspects of the show. Saving 5-10 minutes here and there adds up quickly.

Very, very cool deal.
After a career year in 2023, @RThornton20RT is giving back to racers at this year's @TulsaShootout. We spoke to RTJ about his plan to give $500 to 20 different racers competing in the event.

Day. Made.
At @AndersonSpeedwy setting up for #Little500 broadcast & an older gent approached. He hasn’t missed a #Little500 since 1952. Stern looking fellow.
“Are you the guy that says drop the hamma?”
Uh-oh. “Yes. Yes, that’s me.” 😬
“I love that!”

If your first comment is to the effect of “it was dusty” or “track was too slick” but then you go on to tell me how awesome the racing was, my first thought is you have your priorities wrong. It’s about the racing. It’s ALWAYS about the racing. And remember, it’s a *dirt* track.

Awesome to see @devinmoran99’s reaction! I’ve said it before, just because you don’t follow a particular Motorsport doesn’t mean it’s not cool. Taking that thought further, there’s also no need to try & belittle other Motorsports because you think your’s is cooler.

If an event that’s been around for 38 years is doing something a certain way, it’s because it’s the most efficient way they’ve found of doing it in that 38 year span. Just sayin’.

I really dig the vibe at @GatewayDirt. Anyone who is here, be it racers, crews or fans, is here to have a good time. You can see it & feel it just walking around. It’s hardcore competition, but more like an All-Star game & less like the World Series, you dig?

I’ll say it. I really dug that pole shuffle format at @cbnationals because there’s always hope & anticipation until the end. A traditional shuffle is often over after the first lap. First I’ve ever seen it myself so I’ll say tip of the cap to whoever came up with that idea.
