I promote "my clients" in individual driver releases and all drivers in series and track releases. Two different deals all together.

Sorry if my question was not specific as to what I was really asking. I guess my question was regarding those who you do individual promotions for, if they were clients or something else. I wasn't confusing the track/series promotions with the individual driver promotions. Thanks for the response to my honest question.

Hey Gary, can you pump this kid any harder than you already do? I thought announcers where to be unbiased, but over the course of this year you have pumped this kid up more than anybody on here, we get it already the kid is good.
I however am not impressed that he won a watered down Golden State Challenge series, I mean seriously how hard is it to beat the GSC field that was put out there, when Matthew Davis (8th) and Pat Harvey Jr (10th) finish the top 10 in points it's not really the stellar competition it used to be. He might as well of just won the Chowchilla track Championship thats how watered down the GSC is these days.
I will however be impressed if this kid does go out and wins the Ocean Speedway/Taco Bravo Track Championship, at least then he can say he won it vs real competeition, and Ocean by far has the best competition anywhere is the state of California these days.

Gary is a hired PR guy that started with the Allards. As time went on other drivers wanted Gary to do their PR because he does such good job writing. Other drivers he writes for Mason Moore, Zach Zimmerly, Tommy Tarlton, these are just a few. There is Bill Sullivan announcer, also works with Handy Race Promotions and who does PR work for drivers: Alissa Geving, Bradley Terrell, Camron Mendes, Billy Strange, etc. I don't see "Big Winner" complaining about Bill Sullivan. Bill promotes his drivers no different than Gary.
As for Gary it's a small income he receives that he started before he started announcing. As we can see he has become one of the best announcers on the west coast as you hear him at Ocean Speedway doing theTaco Bravo 360 series and this is his 1st year announcing for a track. I hope the best for Gary because he does a lot of this PR work out of the kindness of his heart for different tracks, drivers, series, etc.
Big winner, big wiener, what ever your name is I think their are a lot of people impressed with what Kyle has done this year. With Allard and Zimmerly running the full series do you think that would have make it a stellar competition series? And if Kyle won with them here I think you would have the same issue.

It's my opinion Kyle would have had just as good of chance winning GSC with or without Allard, TK, Zimmerly, T-Dub, Jonny Tiner, Ernie Percell or who ever.
This young man just proved again over 3 days of racing that he can wheel a Sprint Car with the best in the world.
And if you think back to last years Gold Cup he started 18th or something and worked his way through the field, passing Schatz twice to get up to 7th place in Dave Vertullo's car. He was moved back for jumping ( so the Outlaw officials say) and tried a desperation move in 3-4 on the last lap to get back by Shatz again for 6th and jumped the cushion in turn 4. finished 14th I think.
Yes, GSC was short on the named talents this year but do you really think it matters?
Kyle got by, Sammy, Kinsers, Allard, Dollansky, Saldana, Hafertepe, Sides.... on and on.
Would he have won the Championship? Who knows
It wouldnt have been "better talent" that got in his way.
Just my thoughts,
Steve

Well...not very nice post to start it, but did draw attention to two guys with very different crafts, both with a shot to go to the next level. You're in the entertainment business. As long as they're talking about you, it's all good!

What I like about Kyle is he brings his own style of driving to the track.He will do well at most races, not all by no means.Bottom line is the kid is fast, smooth, technical and wants to win.He will learn the other things he will need to be competitive night in and night out.The right team wont hurt either.
