North Dakota: That's A Wrap

The crew just finished three days of race track filming and full days of interviews. Thank you to Bill, Donny, his family, and the crew for being a great sport this week during filming.

North Dakota and its dirt track racing fans have been amazing. Savanna, Donny's daughter, helped the crew and I today with audio. She is now our honorary "audio assistant." Look for her in the documentary's end credits. :) Donny ran well this week and started his day off with another great interview with the team. His mom and sister offered great behind-the-driver stories. I cannot wait to see them in the documentary. Hint: Donny had help when training to tear off his helmet tear-offs.

Watch out for the World of Outlaws touring near you! "It's the greatest show on dirt."

One of the best Father's Days

This past weekend was Fathers Day weekend. You see the dads out in full force at the race tracks. Whether taking the kids to the races or helping their kids with the cars, dad's are a staple of the racetrack scene. Due to the crew shooting in North Dakota, I couldn't be with my dad for the first time in about 20 years. So what's a kid to do when he needs to get dad something extra special? Ask a favor. We were lucky enough to get an interview with Steve Kinser. Once the interview was over, I asked if Steve could  do me a favor. I wanted him to call my dad, a race fan, and wish him a happy fathers day. He graciously agreed and what transpired after that is something truly cool. It was possibly the best gift I could've gotten him. Often times we all get caught up in what we are doing and forget about family or doing special things for them. I'm really glad I got to do this for my dad. I've met a lot of cool people and already made a lot of memories on this documentary but I think this one will stand out as the most memorable. Stay tuned for more updates!

We've just spent our first day in North Dakota after the marathon drive yesterday. We met most of the crew and Donny today and they were just awesome. Donny did a sit down interview with us, took us out to lunch and let me ride with him up to Grand Forks for a meet and greet. Bill, PR guy extrodinare of course gave us the hook up on all of these things. Met with Kinser's crew and they are pretty cool. Can't wait for more shooting tomorrow night!!

Donny Schatz, North Dakota, Space Aliens... OH MY!

So ends the second day in North Dakota. Not much to say about yesterday we were in a van for 16 hours, but luckily Kyle, Alexis, Dr. J, and I have not gotten sick of eachother yet so the trip was enjoyable. In one, me and alexis could've sworn we saw a tornado but it was just a really weird cloud. We woke up this morning and went on over to Donny Schatz's race shop. It was very nice looking. Everyone was super nice and the interview went very well. After the interview we had lunch with Donny and the crew. Afterwards we went to a meet and greet which was very nice also. After a day like that Alexis, Dr. J, Kyle, and me decided to go to a place called the "space alien". It was like a chuck e. cheese for grown people, we had fun, i played some games, won some tickets, and got everyone these little plastic aliens. All in all it was an awesome, productive day. Tomorrow we get to shoot our first race here in North Dakota. I can't wait!

North Dakota: Day One

Today was a great day for "One Dream: Dirt Track Racing." Following 18 hours on the road, we checked into the Fargo hotel at 2:30 a.m.. After a few hours of napping we made our way to Donny Schatz's Raceshop. The interview went really well. Bill Klingbeil is Donny's publicist; he is a great contact. He set up our three-day journey with Donny and has been more than welcoming to any questions we might have about his position with the racing team. Donny has been amazing during our team's time together...he even treated us to lunch. Thank you Donny! 

After a one-hour rest stop at the hotel we headed off to Grand Forks for a meet and greet with the World of Outlaws tour. Donny and other drivers on the tour met fans and greeted them with welcoming arms.

Wow! What a week.

Part of the crew traveled to Little Rock, Arkansas this week to interview Kenny Wallace. Not only was he an amazing interview, but a very personable and kind personality. The roundtrip to Little Rock was a whirlwind of 21 hours straight...7+ hours on the trip up there, 2 hours shooting, and 7+ hours trip back to Lawton, Oklahoma. After a jammed tape scare it was on to a Sunday filled with interviews for the crew...

Sunday at 1 p.m. the crew interviewed Bob Horn and Joseph Horn, owners of Horn Sanitation and sponsors of the Sooner Motorplex racetrack, to glean the father/son perspective of racing. I cannot wait to see the final interview during the premiere. Bob and Joseph were phenomenal. 2:30 p.m. brought on a meeting of the Public Relations crew followed by a 4 p.m. interview with Okie Magazine. Check out the July 1 issue of Okie Magazine to get the behind-the-scenes thoughts about "One Dream: Dirt Track Racing."

Met a hero!!!!

We finally got to meet Kenny Wallace!!!!!! Due to some misunderstanding, Kenny Schrader couldn't make it but having Wallace around was fantastic. The interview went great and he was so amazing and cool!!!! Best interview by far and the trip itself wasn't bad either. On to North Dakota now!

And their off!

 The crew is out shooting tonight for the first time without me. It almost feels like sending a kid to college haha! Jenyann will do a great job tonight and everyone will be pretty supportive and help her out. I can't wait to see the footage when they get back! Next week we meet Kenny Wallace and Kenny Schrader!!!!
