The hype is legitimate

Zach Yost

Can you imagine the Super Bowl without hype? What about the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament? How would March Madness go over if the media just went on about its business as if it wasn’t the greatest three weeks of the entire sports year? | Complete World 100 coverage

It’s really difficult to make a legitimate comparison between auto racing and stick-and-ball sports. The age-old idiom comparing apples to oranges couldn’t be more accurate. Typical sports contests pit one team against MORE

Social media’s reach

The announcement that Tim McCreadie will no longer be the Longhorn Chassis house car driver beginning with the 2024 season set social media ablaze on Wednesday. It’s not a surprise, big news tends to spread like wildfire. I just wish before people question the decision made by both Longhorn and Paylor Motorsports they’d read the entire press release that Longhorn posted online.

The nuts and bolts of it are posted in DirtonDirt.com’s DirtWire section, a place we regularly post news and notes MORE

I don’t claim to be an expert in track prep. I do know how drive a tractor (have since I was 12). I know how to bushhog a field and plow a field and pull a variety of equipment behind said tractor. That’s just part of the stuff you learn when growing up out in the country.

But just because I know how to handle certain farm equipment, that doesn’t mean I’m a farmer by any means. I left our home at 18 — a little Tennessee farm with a few dozen milk cows and a decent size hay field — and MORE

heathlawsonphotos.com

Parity in our sport seems to be at an unprecedented level. Or is it?

I don’t think we’ve ever seen a stretch in Dirt Late Model racing’s history where so many drivers had a legitimate chance to win a big race, even a crown jewel event, but somehow, on most nights the cream seems to rise to the top.

Right now, that’s Chandler, Ariz.’s Ricky Thornton Jr. and Bobby Pierce of Oakwood, Ill. Thornton has nearly 20 victories this season, including a $100,000 triumph in Tuesday’s XR Super MORE

Keeping fans in loop

Dirt racing fans are a passionate lot. Following July 8’s NAPA Auto Parts Gopher 50 finale at Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., a race that ended in a photo finish — sort of — between Hudson O’Neal of Martinsville, Ind., and Bobby Pierce of Oakwood, Ill., social media was once again at a fever pitch as the Dirt Late Model crowd weighed in on the result.

Though it appeared to the naked eye that O’Neal, who took the lead from Chris Madden on the 36th lap, beat Pierce to the MORE
