Lighter Side of Dirt

the lighter side of DIRT

ASIDE FROM SPONSORSHIPS,

racers use their cars to convey everything from politics to jokes and to express their personalities. Here are some of our favorites from the last couple of months. REMEMBER BACK in early 2020 when all everyone did was watch iRacing on their computers (or on CBS Sports Newtwork!) and watch Tiger King on Netflix. John Reinke, a key fixture in the show, is quite involved in dirt track racing and his son races at Lawton Speedway in the Reinke’s Sardine Oil entry. Meanwhile, Tyler Webb displays the most famous tagline from the show on the back of his modified at Lawton Speedway. If you know, you know. Photo: Ashley Allinson
