DirtonDirt.com Promises First Comprehensive, Multimedia Source for All Things Dirt Late Model Racing
Online publication will offer national results, around-the-clock news, original features
O’FALLON, Ill. (July 27, 2007) — DirtonDirt.com — the first comprehensive, multimedia source for national Dirt Late Model racing results and schedules, around-the-clock news and original feature journalism — will launch Sept. 4 from the World 100 at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.
“The World 100 is the biggest dirt-track race in the United States, so it’s the perfect opportunity to debut DirtonDirt.com,” said Michael F. Rigsby, chief executive officer. “Our sport has moved past the grass-roots stage, and its fans are starving for the kind of timely, expansive and reliable media coverage that only we will provide.”
Until now, Dirt Late Model fans have been forced to scan printed racing publications, series-specific websites and Internet message boards to cobble together nationwide news and results. DirtonDirt.com — with plans to provide on-site coverage between 60 and 70 races from more than two dozen series around the country over the next year — will offer a one-stop shop for the Dirt Late Model fan. Consistently updated content will be available in the gamut of formats: broadcast- news-quality video reports, text stories, downloadable audio, blogs and more.
The founders of DirtonDirt.com are Rigsby, a former TV sports anchor for the NBC affiliate in Madison, Wis.; staff writer Todd Turner, one of Dirt Late Model’s most respected writers with more than 10 years covering the sport, most recently for National Dirt Digest, and promotions director Amber Vander Pluym, who has four years of experience in marketing for some of the nation’s largest radio conglomerates. DirtonDirt.com will work with contributing reporters and photographers to deliver national-scope coverage of Dirt Late Model racing.
Subscriptions to the online-only publication cost $4.99 per month or $52 a year (about the cost of tickets to two major events). Visitors can explore DirtonDirt.com with a 10-day free trial.
