This. This is why dirt track racing is one big family. This is why one hash tag turned sticker is changing lives one beautiful moment at a time. Sprint car drivers really are the gold standard. #BeKind @kyleloomis11 @MagazineDirt @WorldofOutlaws
@parker_pm9 @NoahGass20G and myself got to meet a pretty awesome race fan today @EldoraSpeedway. Tyler is one awesome dude who sits in section SO in turn 1 ALL DAY LONG Tyler had never met a @WorldofOutlaws driver before today all it takes is one second to #BeKind

I got my love for sprint car racing from my dad. Today would've been his bday. I love to share on days like this is the beauty of his headstone. It's because of him my passion for racing runs deep & I started writing. He'd be bragging about what I chose for him if he could. 😁

There is literally no reason to be this kind of race fan. The theme of the race isn't throw your beer cans everywhere or toward the race track. This is the behavior that's wrong in our sport and ruins everything.

10 yrs ago, my best friend was hit on his motorcycle on his way home from his navy base & killed. This was my 21st bday & depicts our friendship perfectly. As a corpsman he served in Iraq, North Korea, & Afghanistan alongside Marines. Make memories where you can. I'm glad I did.

I don't care how drunk you are. Calling me a c*nt because you were purposely shaking my trailer & then spending the next hr + throwing things at my door & trying to break in is NOT okay. ALL because you couldn't use your words to ask me nicely to move my truck so you could party.

Some of the best memories I have with my dad involve Open Wheel. He had a whole collection that's been lost over the years (don't get me started) It's my goal to have a complete collection. This is the 1st issue ever & pretty cool to add to my collection.

Thank you @WorldofOutlaws & thank you to @KendraJJacobs for speaking out. It's not easy to be a woman in motorsports as a journalist and I cannot imagine how much worse it is at the levels higher up. Women play important roles in racing often behind the scenes & shouldn't be obligated to tolerate the statements spewed at us.
It’s time for change.

This interaction between @DonnySchatz & @GioScelzi is what makes sprint car racing so incredible & special. These guys are icons in very individual ways & a blessing to this sport.
The most charming moment in World of Outlaws media day at Charlotte Motor Speedway today. Young hotshoe Gio Scelzi asks a sincere question to the legendary Donny Schatz and gets a really thoughtful answer.

If you have sent me a message, text, email, tagged me, and not gotten a response, I am sorry. I was life lighted Monday due to becoming septic from a miscarriage. I had emergency surgery on Monday and while I am home now, I am still very sick as I do still have bacteria in my blood. Patrick has been manning my phone and will continue to respond to things as he can. Right now I just need rest and as little stress as possible. If you know me at all, you know how hard that is. Take it easy on my husband, he's doing his best. Thanks for understanding.

One year ago today at this very racetrack, I met this guy. We've trekked all over creation since to races. He's supported my writing, photos, and even my horses with his whole heart since. Probably no better place to celebrate an anniversary than the sprint car capital.

I don't share my story often, but @knoxvilleraces raised me from 2 wks old on a pillow in my mom's lap to my love for writing inspired by the Nationals program. I dreamed of the chance to create goosebumps like others did for me. My 2nd program piece w/@GioScelzi is 🔥🔥

In honor of @jachaudracing here's one of the coolest things @knoxvilleraces & @_EricArnold gave me the chance to do in the 2021 Knoxville Nationals program. Interviewing the driver I've favorited since I could walk & talk was a bucket list item, but doing it this way incredible!

For argument sake, how insulted would you be if you spent $50k on a truck (paid asking price no negotiation even, preapproved) & the salesman handed you a truck with the gage like this? (Aprox 50 miles to E.)

I want to point something out that to me is honestly incredibly cool. The FS1 airing for HL had 239,000 views. The puppets are approx 6,000 in ownership (hope I'm using correct words) PLUS the many more who want a puppet or support the puppets - world wide. They potentially were the largest demographic numbers wise to tune into the FS1 airing of new race fans. In a sport where we've struggled to organically grow, they blew us out of the water. As a member of the media & a Tyler Walker fan, I'm proud to see what they did & despite what happened with Ron, I sure hope they stick around with us.

Leaving for the nationals is always a little bittersweet. In 2003, I spent the Knoxville Nationals with my dad for the last time. While that week was spent with sadness over losing Keith Hutton (his friend), the Nationals was still the last of racing quality time we had each summer. In 03', a month to the day of Keith's accident, we lost my father to a heart attack. Sprint cars and Knoxville was the very foundation of our bond. This is my favorite time of the year and also my most painful. Here's to my 38th Knoxville Nationals, and another solid reason we should always appreciate these moments in racing surrounded by our friends.
