Some wild shit going on in dirt racing in 2020. Brandon Sheppard: 24 wins. $355,617 in feature winnings. Kyle Larson: 24 wins. $328,481 in feature winnings. This is what domination looks like.

Took this man 50 years to win the World 100. Say what you want about the guy but no one is more dedicated to this sport than Mark Richards.

Still the best QB run in my lifetime. Look up the highlights.
Still one of my fav packers pics. In ‘16, at 4-6, Rodgers stated “I feel like we can run the table, I really do.” & that’s exactly what they did. GB went on to win their last 6 games getting them into the playoffs. Ended up getting to the NFCCG. This is his “I told you so face”

Congrats to Jonathan Davenport on retirement. What a phenomenal career. Modern day Eldora Guru. @TheFast49 . Jk guys. He will be back. Just funny that people legit thought he’s retiring because he’s not at East Bay.

I’ve seen several post and threads stating that Rocket Chassis is losing their luster. So I did some digging. Counting all National Series races including Flo and XR. Rocket 58 wins .Longhorn 51.Bloomquist 7.Pierce 5.Capital 5. All are great chassis, but 🚀 still at the top!.

My boy @Terbo_91 did this interview right after the passing of his father. He didn’t tell anybody what had happen until he won the damn race. Pretty special moment. Looking back on this video makes me appreciate just how strong Tyler is, and how much better of a dude he is.
Some cold beers. A bicycle. A tiny track inside a giant stadium. It's "One Lap, One Beer" from 2022's @CastrolUSA @GatewayDirt Nationals with @DSuave_12 and @Terbo_91.

I’ve watched Shannon Babb race my entire life. To see him win his 100th Summer National victory is pretty damn special.

8years ago, Turbo ran 2nd to Bobby Pierce at Quincy. That is when he fell in love with the Summer Nationals. Tonight he was crowned the champion. Joining the likes of Pierce, Moyer, Bloomquist, Babb, Oneal and Sheppard.
