Why We Aren't In Florida....

In this video, Tanner explains why his team, based in Southern Oregon, isn’t racing in Florida for the World of Outlaws Dirt Car Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park this year. He dives into the challenges of traveling over 2,500 miles for an early-season race, especially with unpredictable weather, the wear and tear on equipment, and the risk of engine failures on one of the toughest tracks in the country.

[@teddyeverly4549]

[@rockinracer]

Common sense, sportmanship, articulate thinker, social influencer , Yes Tanner Holmes has all those valuable talents. Focus on Narc 410 for now, get comfortable in that set-up, push for new goals, enjoy the experience and good luck, sir. You are my idol and want more fans to join your rise. Love your Family and your abilities of all you do, has meat in the bites. Good for a Pitboss, lol. Keep Rocking and Racing 💜 🏆🏁🇺🇲

[@Calvin-xp4qp]

Don't blame you. Heck, I live in Medford and complain about driving 3.5 hours to Bend

[@arrowkart4j]

Do yourself a favor look into the CASM seat system to save your back in a crash. 🙏

[@robertcharles1026]

Good explanation there Tanner, just do what you gotta do for your program.

[@Foxracing218]

18at&T is what I hear everytime he says his number 🤣 like oh boy AT&T like oh ya?

[@davidboggs7361]

Tanner I understand it doesn't make sense to go all that way 😊

[@jamesfinley2463]

Tanner i think people understand for sure! I will see ya at Las Vegas buddy! Caint wait! JIMBO

[@Mattdugas24]

People asking these questions have never owned a racecar in their lives .

[@jamesdegraff]

I appreciate the breakdown but I expect if the track was 100 miles away there would be no question. It's just too far with too many opportunities for things to go sideways.

[@lecigars]

You’ve mentioned a move to the Midwest. Where does this stand?

[@250P]

From a business perspective, your logic is quite sound. Looking at the sponsors from 2024 the only nationally known company you have is Dee Zee. So while a win would be great the ability of sponsors to capitalize on it is limited. Especially when much of the country is dealing with ice, snow, and freezing temperatures. Where the only racing taking place is of the "hot stove" variety.

[@johncarter1137]

I think you're trying to say it's not economically viable to go that far for that race.

[@APXPDR123]

I have sat in a couple of sprint cars. And how the hell do you get in and out so easily!?😂 also hopefully you will be at the sprint car classic in Warrnambool next year. It might be next year or the year after. But when you do, I will be there. And give you a dollar idk😂

[@georgew.5639]

It would only make sense if you had a ride with another team. Like you did for the chilli bowl. And Shawnee too. Otherwise no.

[@davidvanbrunt4233]

Possible rain after a 45 hour drive....🚫🚫🚫

[@melabshier5812]

Next time someone posts why aren't you in Florida, tell them send you a couple grand to pay for fuel to get there and back and maybe you'll go. 😁😁

[@glenchapman3899]

And it is a very looooooooooooong season.

[@Sidney-808]

🤔 Long story short, it's a long drive for a B feature. 🤣

[@michaelriffey1268]

No ur not n Florida

[@raymond3803]

I-70 Speedway is hard on equipment. It's dangerous too. Opening night, @ Volusia, Wednesday, Johnny Gibson said Volusia is 0.45 miles. They turn it in 12 seconds. So what? Bull's Gap Speedway is 0.40 miles. Here's Kasey Kahne (15 years ago) turning 10.285. Bulll's Gap is the fastest dirt track. Not Volusia. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3_Kg6eIj9WmbsU
