A year later we decided why fix what wasn’t broken. The Bobby Mincer livery for the 2021

Throwback award.
Merchandise available here:
Growing up as a child, the special schemes at
@knoxvilleraces
is what I lived for. I want to see the 🔥next year.
If the track will let me:
1st - $2,500
2nd - $1,500
3rd - $1,000
Maybe this motivation will help me win my own trophy! 😂
A lot of you don’t know but
@GregHodnett
was my hero growing up. I wanted to quit racing when we lost him.
I can’t thank
@MandiMincer
enough for putting this together for me. Please if you need anything like this done reach out to her.

I'm gonna give you an engine low to the ground. I'm gonna give you a fuel line that'll hold an extra gallon of gas. I'm gonna shave half an inch off you and shape you like a bullet.

Reflecting on the year so far, I couldn’t have asked for a better group of men to drive my race cars. I’ve been lucky to have great friends drive for me, and drivers become great friends. Obviously I don’t have enough cars to keep them all on the track, so owners who are looking:
This point continues to be the dumbest take I hear.
No corporation promotes or acknowledges their competition. Does Wal-Mart mention Target by name? Apple mention Dell or Samsung?
Get over it.
It’s been a trying first year, but last night we were finally able to get a decent feature finish (6th). Thanks to Brandon for steering, and more importantly to Betty for writing the checks.

Topped the year off by having 6 racecars at
@knoxvilleraces
on Saturday. Something I never thought I would do yet something I hope I never do again. 😂
Thanks to all that make it happen and those who wheeled a car.
“Just shoved it in there.” This guy can do anything to anyone and it’s ok, gets beat outright because he was out of control like normal, and it’s “I guess that’s what you do in midgets.” Jog on dude.

@TMezdriftz
ends up P16 tonight after leading 26 laps.
He jumped the cushion getting into Turns 1-2 on Lap 37, opening the door for
@jadeavedisian
to go by under him and on to win the race.
As he put it, “that’s part of racing.”
Making memories at the track is why we do this. This week was such a success for our small family owned team.
I’m glad we could do this for someone we consider family. Thank you to
@BrandonWimmer
and family for their dedication to our program. It means the world to us.
Still get emotional thinking about this past week, and what it meant to me to be able to wheel the GoldEagle 7TW
@knoxvilleraces
!
Thank you
@TEAMDGRD
and all of our sponsors that made this happen! We made memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life!
So glad my buddy
@AJMoeller20
is ok after a big ride last night

@ripjetson9
will have some work to fix this one when we get it torn down. Plan is to have AJ and the 6AJ back in two weeks.
NEWS: The 2024 Knoxville Championship Series 410 purse will payout $6,000 to win, $1200 for tenth and $700 to start. This is an increase of nearly $4,675 per night!

@BrianRDunlap
got to the bottom of this. Nobody deleted a logo, they used AI to generate the bottom half of the photo to meet graphic proportions. He is going to work with me to get it fixed so we can promote I partners.
I appreciate his effort.

Weekend thoughts 1/?
1. Aaron Reutzel is a badass. He drives the car harder than anyone each and every lap. Sometimes it doesn’t work out as planned, but by no means does he wreck anyone intentionally. I’ll take that any day.
Current update: no word. Communication with the area is sparse. Hopefully we hear something in the next day or so. We’re optimistic he is just on his fishing boat drinking beer and waiting on the water to go down.
Somewhere in Illinois, headed to Ohio to bring this beauty to race at
@AtomicSpeedway
with the
@OVSCA
on Friday. Depending on weather we will either head to Butler or to the
@FASTseries
show at
@TCRPRace
Struggled through hot laps and qualifying. Made some changes and went 8->6th in the heat and then 20->12 in the feature. Was up to 10th and the got a massive hole in the wing. Thanks to
@BrandonWimmer
for giving it a great ride.
This isn’t a very good look. “Support our Troops” should not be a tag line to sell merchandise. Nowhere can it be found that the purchase of these shirts helps “Support” them.
The "Support Our Troops"
Collection is available for •Pre-Sale• now at !
4 new colors in black, sand, tweed, black camo, a black crewneck, and a camo hoodie!
Hoodies & Crewneck sweatshirts are PRESALE & ONLINE ONLY now through tomorrow at 2pm EST!
5 traits every man should have:

4. Effective communication skills
5. Persistent and hardworking
I knew that being an owner would be hard. I knew the week would be tough, but this week pushed me harder than I could imagine. We somehow got through it, but
@BrandonWimmer
@BBBTYG_6
deserve the most credit for dealing with me.
See you in ✌🏼weeks with the 360. Driver TBA.
NEVER GIVE UP! That’s my take away from the 2022 Knoxville Nationals! Thank you to everyone at
@TEAMDGRD
for giving me a fast race car! Not the end result we wanted but man it sure felt good to be competitive at Knoxville again!
Happy Birthday to my queen and beautiful wife! You are not only my partner, but also my backbone, always supporting me. Here's to another year of creating beautiful memories together! 🥳🎈
PS: Your new
@RaceMaxims
shows up next week. 😘
Now taking preorders for this one of a kind shirt. All proceeds go to the blue collar workers that get frustrated with traffic on their way home. They may not provide your food, but the work they do, makes sure that you yourself can eat.

There has been an accident on the new bridge. Please plan ahead as traffic is extremely backed up. If you need to, you can use the old bridge to get to the track and circumvent traffic.
Tyler had some unsavory social media posts on Facebook from the past that some people brought to my attention. I’m just trying to make sure that everyone associated with
@teamdgrd
has a clean and polite social media presence.
That is why I lead by example. 🤷🏻♂️
I constantly wonder why she puts up with me, or my shenanigans. I wonder how I got to be so lucky. All I know for sure is that she is the most amazing human being I have ever met. I don’t know what i’d do without her. Happy Anniversary babe! Love you more than the 🌍 😘
Wasn’t sure which driver this was at first in this

as I don’t think
@DustinSelvage7
knows where this spot is on the track.
Speaking of dumb formats… this is the dumbest shit ever. One out of a transfer and you go completely back to time. Cars that didnt even finish/run a heat race were lined up ahead of me. Man that needs work. Might as well not even run heat races
I love Christmas, her not so much. She makes the world go round. She is it, she is that, she is all of everything, she is
@BBTYG_8
Nobody, and I mean nobody could substitute or replace her. You are everything. 😍😘
Hauler broke down on
@GaretWilliamson
last night. Unless he can get it fixed quickly, we will not be racing tonight. We will try to get things resolved to still hit the Tuesday high limit show.
Thanks to
@RonRutherford19
for all the help last night!

@DustinSelvage7
family takes as observed by me.
Rosalynn (on golf cart) - “Mom look it’s the brake pedal!”
@MeighanSelvage
-“Yes Roz, can you show your dad where the gas pedal is?”
Raye and I, laughing nonstop! 😂😂😂
As much as I would like to run this race, three straight weeks is difficult when you have a full time job. Our team is built by on average Joe, all of us work during the week, all of them volunteer their time. Without them none of this could be possible.
