State of The DRC Address - 5/9/08

Posted Jody Shannon on May 9th, 2008 | Filed under Commentary, Jody Shannon, The DRC | Comment now »

So I am just sitting here bored on a rainy Friday night and figured I would add a update to the site and let everyone know about some of the upcoming things we have planned for The Dirt Racing Connection. But before we go any further I may say damn you Nick Cannon, you have dashed all the dreams and hopes I had for me and my dream woman. Mariah Carey Cannon sounds like a porn stars name and you sir have a new enemy in the form of Jody Shannon. Read the rest of this entry »

Thanks to Jim Moon and Toby W. Hallett from Moonman Productions The Dirt Racing Connection will proudly present Moonvision, a look from the cockpit of the #1 Moon Motorsports Crate Late Model. We will try and periodically get images from the Moon himself and show you what it’s like to see behind the wheel of a Dirt Late Model. In our first edition we will look back to a couple weeks ago, to Twin Cities Raceway Park’s season opener. After having some troubles in the heat Jim Moon was forced to start near the back, watch him fight his way to the front in this video.

Union County Speedway - 5-4-08 - UMP Modifieds Highlights

Posted Jody Shannon on May 6th, 2008 | Filed under Jody Shannon, The DRC, Video | 3 Comments »

This was one of the best Modified features I have seen in quite sometime. They raced on every inch of the race track, beat, banged, sparked the wall and put on a exciting show. “Big Daddy” Shawn Tolson stood tall in the end over the Demoss brothers.  You could not ask for a better feature race, and this was a testament to the work Tom Wieck and company put into the track over the winter.
