Content warning: This is STK/SS adjacent and has to do with sponsorships, but not directly tied to STK/SS. Just wanted to get on my soap box for a moment.
So I'm surfing FB like we all do and come across a "Sponsored" post by some ugly blonde. One of those regular posts that you see on FB from time to time where the creator paid to boost it so that people that don't follow the page will see it. Curiosity took hold. The post was more or less a season re-cap, with phrases like "what a great season my 'team' has had" and "we had some ups and downs..." She thanks sponsors, family, team members, typical bullsh!t. I'm looking and reading this post thinking: "this is the kind of post somebody that's absolutely trash at drag racing would make." So I look at the handful of images attached to the post. All of them include her, lots of cleavage and make-up, and a twin turbo top dragster fully wrapped and littered with sponsors, with a stacker to boot. So I think to myself "ouch, might have been too soon to judge, perhaps she's very successful and I've just never heard of her." So I decide to investigate a little further. Can't find her on the D7 TD points list. hmm, weird. So I check everybody's favorite class racing matchup tool, DragInsights. There I find the truth. In 31 total TD events, dating back to 2020, she has a grand total of 25 round wins (a round win percentage of 44%) and a best event finish of 3rd round loss. That is not impressive. Don't get me wrong, I'm super hot garbage at running stock, with a worse round win percentage in 5 events this year, so I'm not trying to throw stones at the record. But I also drive a backyard special with holes in the floor, and I certainly don't boost my "had fun this year but am trash at racing" posts on social media. They say envy is the thief of joy. I am extremely grateful for all that I have and I am very proud of it and all my race family. BUT WHY IN THE EVER LOVING HELL DOES SHE HAVE 5 SPONSORS AND STARTING A TOP ALCOHOL TEAM?! Why does all the talent that already exists in NHRA class racing get overlooked in favor of some well spoken person? It makes me so mad. I'll post a few images so you guys can make your own judgement. I'll never understand corporate America and I hate it more everyday. fyi, her main sponsor is OnlyFans (primarily a pornography sight) and her nude photos exist in the public domain (That's one thing I did not research, someone DMed me on FB griping about it too and told me that). She essentially got where she is by selling herself and is openly proud and embracing it. Gross.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion BUT I think that in your youthful age you are being a bit hard on her. It appears as though like you, she has a passion for drag racing and is doing everything she can do to fund her team. Please feel free to forward me her contact info ….AND her cleavage pics.

Well Dawson, welcome to the real world! At some points in my "career" (if you want to call it that) I have felt the same way!
Watch your name-calling though. It's not very polite or professional and it just might bite you in the arse somewhere down the road.

Fair, It's a bit much. I will edit.

dont get tangled up in what somebody else is doing and concentrate on your program on and off of the track. learn from Mr Nees and think twice before spouting off things on the internet that may come back to haunt you in the event you are trying to get some sponsorship help in the future. some that may or may not have as much talent as you think you might have, are using what they do have to get what you dont have.
since you do not have a sexy body with large amounts of cleavage try to use the brain that God blessed you with to get the things you would like to go along with the talent you have. ep-i like cleavage |

Also I'm not here to compare talent level, but I felt it was meaningful to consider her record for the sake of the conversation. She isn't exactly Peter Biondo, nor as pretty. ![]()

Not everyone agrees on Summers marketing techniques, but she does work hard at trying to making it to the next level. She really doesn't deserve to be ***** talked online. Her Father and Husband are racers and good guys, and probably wouldn't appreciate you calling her names. Like Billy said up above, you may want to soften your rant.
