DoD expands live video for subscribers
DirtonDirt.com will offer subscribers a huge boost in content in 2020, adding an ambitious slate of live Super Late Model event broadcasts representing dozens of special events — including coverage of promoter Ray Cook’s Schaeffer’s-sponsored Spring, Southern and Fall Nationals series — to the unmatched on-demand highlights and exclusive reporting that are part of a website subscription.
The live-streaming schedule for subscribers kicks off with the Feb. 1-2 Cabin Fever Weekend at Boyd’s Speedway in Ringgold, Ga., and the Feb. 7-8 Winter Freeze at Screven Motor Speedway in Sylvania, Ga., that is topped by a Super Late Model event paying a Georgia-Florida Speedweeks-high $20,010-to-win.
“Since the day we started DirtonDirt.com 13 years ago we’ve always been about adding value to a subscriber for their subscription money,” DirtonDirt.com co-founder Michael Rigsby said. “This might be the biggest step we’ve ever taken in that direction with 60-plus LIVE nights now available to those who simply subscribe to the website. It’s ambitious, but we are ready to tackle the challenge and deliver a ton more content to subscribers.”
DoD will for the first time offer live coverage of Cook’s Schaeffer’s-sponsored tours across the Southeast. The 10-stop Spring Nationals begins March 20 at Boyd’s and ends May 25 at 411 Motor Speedway in Seymour, Tenn.; the 11-race Southern Nationals starts July 10 at Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, Tenn., and runs through July 25 at Tazewell (Tenn.) Speedway; and the Fall Nationals commences Sept. 5 at Smoky Mountain and concludes Nov. 14 at Boyd’s.
Among the highlights of DoD’s unprecedented coverage of Cook’s series is a blockbuster Easter weekend doubleheader for the Spring Nationals featuring a $10,000-to-win show April 10 at Wythe Raceway in Rural Retreat, Va., and a $20,000-to-win affair April 11 at the high-banked Tazewell oval.
Other Super Late Model events that will be offered as part of DirtonDirt.com’s live event broadcast schedule for subscribers include April 10-11’s Atomic 100 at Atomic Speedway in Alma, Ohio, April 18’s Slocum 50 at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, Sept. 25-26’s Magnolia State Cotton Pickin’ 100 at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Miss., and the Oct. 31-Nov. 1’s National 100 at East Alabama Motor Speedway in Phenix City, Ala., with several other races to be added soon.
