How can racing shock us anymore than what they already have? Look at all the rules when you just show up to race at any level. I believe that all the world needs to know is that the sport is much safer, right ? The day when you just showed up at a race track with a car and a make shift crew ( your buddies and neighbors helping you are all over ) I know that if you do not have the rules in my favorite sport, life can get out of hand at all levels. Look at all people that call their self a race team owner? Wow, I guess the team owner now is called someone that sells young drivers a driver seat and just does not support the sport all. What do they own at this point? Just the car or the driver that brought the money to the team to drive? How do you get the title of team owner if your not capable of funding anything at all? Look I know that we are full of talent in motor sports in all levels. That is why I pick and choose who I want to do business with. I always took the easy way out by only dealing with major Indy Teams with nice little sponsors here and there. I forgot about something in the middle of that experience level of my life. The drivers that know how to drive and face the green flag with no fear at all. The USAC drivers, ASA, CRA, ARCA, SCCA, Indy Lights programs have hit my heart very strong this year. Fans at local track are the heart of America in all levels. The fans that might only get to a few NASCAR , or IndyCar events though the year, but get to there local track almost every weekend with so much passion in their favorite driver. Yes I said driver! I will not say team owner at all. Some of these great drivers own their race team and drive and work all week somewhere at a company that is very supportive in their race car driver employee. These drivers do not care if the hair is perfect before they head down pit row to sign a picture for their fans before the race. How small track owners let the fans come onto the race track and meet and greet the drivers before every race. Some of the race team members are there to support any question a fan just might have about the race team. I would of never experience this great level of fan support by hanging out in a suite at Daytona or Indy. Now in my sport of racing we should devise a Victory H20 trophy for the short tracks of America to excel the support of the local fan that can love the smell of the fuel, concrete, and burnt rubber with a tie in to pop corn and hot dogs ! LOL. The drivers that have the largest fan base and takes the most time with each fan before the race should have the chance to win this award. The fans will vote and some how I will try to make this process easy. 50 States so many tracks? At Victory H20 will show their love for the sport by a cash prize to the drivers in each state then a random drawing to the fan to win on the last race of the year for the winning drivers in each state. I will make it simple one driver and one fan per state! A team effort for both sides in the love of motor sports. I will have other product that we place in the market place build up the level of prizes (I mean cash).
Look I don't care if you race on dirt or concrete your in the deal if you want to.
