LOL. I stated that in my first post which you dismissed. Oh well.

I didn't dismiss it, I read it & didn't think it made sense
What's he marketing? He doesn't need any of this dirt track racing, he's making Big $$$ with NASCAR
He does cause he enjoys it, & he's said that many times

Motivation aside, now it would be cool if Chris Bell took up the challenge too!

Not really. He loves racing! That is why he is running the chili bowl.

For once I agree with you....

I think it would probably work better if you read the posts before responding to them.

I did read your post and his motivation is not to get people riled up. What part of he loves racing don't you understand? It is that plain and simple.

That particular post was NOT about Larson it was about Peter Pee.

The Wild West Shootout LM shows he's been touting have been sparsely attended. He probably misses the attention he gets at the Chili Bowl, given I highly doubt the 140 fans at Vado can give him the same type of boost to the ego.

I'm with the others on this one. Kyle Larson doesn't need the exposure but FLO and High Limit could use it. You bet they will interview him. I picture it going something like this: "Hey, you looked pretty good out there passing 14 cars with a flat tire to take the win. How about that High Limit series? Tell us about that". Remember, this is the entertainment business.
|
THIS!
Kyle got a call reminding him who's signing the checks.

Well, if you had read my post, you would have seen that I was referring to Pete Pumpkineater. That's why I quoted his post.

I say the change of heart for running a race he talked down last year has something to do with FLO.
Yes it is all about marketing. FLO race and the first big race of the year and the biggest name in racing shows up. Plus what a good way to draw attention is by showing up after the race week starts. Maybe FLO's numbers are a little soft because of the economy or can the Chili Bowl be bought on a one day pass? Get all the Nascar/ non short track people money.
Maybe someone can actually be a journalist and ask Kyle why he is racing the Chili Bowl? And not let Kyle give a PR answer, but they won't press him . If they do press him then that journalist or podcast will probably be blackballed. It is all just a game they need the big names for clicks and the racers need to do PR to push whatever at the moment. Everything in this world is all optics.
|
Great idea!
As long as the same journalist you mention asks the other 370+ drivers why they are racing the Chili Bowl......

Good news. You don't have to read any of my, or anybody else's posts. Bad news. You're starting to do the same things you did when your screen name was GL Hayden.

LOL! I feel sorry for you.......not hard at all. I have been me for over 55 years now and I like me just the way I am a truth detector. There is not a lot of truth in this world anymore.

I'll speak slower. He has adamantly talked down the chili bowl and has articulated several reasons. But all of a sudden and at the last moment he's making a huge splash with media and fans by showing up late to enter and run in said race. You can think all you want that it's because he's a true racer and that he just wants to run races. But he is absolutely showing up there to bring/keep attention not only on him but specifically High Limits. If you don't understand that you don't understand PR and marketing. The fact you believe he's there simply because he wants to race is exactly how his marketingPR team is hoping you will view it.

So how does a person who doesn't know the difference between a fact and an opinion become a truth detector? On a serious note, have you considered auditioning in Geico commercials? A few years ago there was a few commercials around with what I would envision people just like you. It's so easy..... a Strawser can do it.

This. He accomplished the primary goal just by showing up. Anything else was just a bonus.

Kinda like you acting like you helped Al Gore invent the internet just to get an ass made out of you by someone who actually knows what they're talking about?

isn't it possible both things are true? he loves to race and wanted to race. it could have been good prep for indy where he'll have to be at 2 places in 1 day. if flo came knocking to make it happen...he didn't have to think twice. i had thoughts about going to the lehigh valley phantoms game tomorrow night. when i got free tickets my mind was made up.
