"We will race him when it’s time” ~Brian Deegan
Alabama’s own favorite son Jordon Fancher was denied entry to Ironman raceway’s pro national due to a full field 2 weeks prior to the event after earning his pro license at Loretta Lynns ranch.
Meanwhile Haiden “Dangerboy” Deegan was allowed to race the event when at the time the field was “full” he was still a “B” rider and had not accumulated the full amount of points required to even register for the event.
What gives?
“Jordon we will race him when it’s time”

Degan needs to take a break, take some time to be a kid and have some fun without cameras around

Deegan never said "We will race him when it's time." That was Weege doing an impression. If your going to stir s#it for the sake of stirring, please fact check yourself prior to posting... What gives you the authority to say what the kid should or should not do?!!!

Don't worry, he will retire in his early 30's as a millionaire and he will still be young enough to take a break and enjoy life.

What he is doing now, most of us pay to do.

If he removes the first sentence, what do you take from the post?

That the kid with a factory Yamaha ride and millions of social media followers got special treatment. Are you surprised?

I don't know man. Has Mike Alessi has made a million, he could also get badly hurt. What about his relationship with his parents or siblings?

Who is degan? Sideways plenty 16 year olds have raced the pro class. Let them decide on their life.

Mike must have earned a good few million during his pro career, at least enough to be comfortable.

Only time will tell with Deegan but I'm pretty sure he will do ok by the time his retires.

These guys also have pretty good cover. Lloyd's is my guess.

Going back to your question how he got into Ironman over the local rider, I have no idea. Perhaps ML will have the answer.

Ps. Not arguing with you brutha, you asked a legit question.

It's just the AMA and MXSports using their special "Friends and Factory" version of the rule book again.

Privateers just need to realize their place in the MXSports world.Cool They'll call you when they need your entry fee...

So you are saying a guy that is known for pushing the limits of the rules just to piss off the AMA is now getting favors from the AMA.

The rules say that there are up to 90 entries per class. There were 84 for the 250 class at Ironman. Perhaps you aren't getting the full story?

WTF? are you ok in the head?

MA made MILLIONS and its not even a question? He was the most highly touted amateur of his generation other than James Stewart and had factory rides for over a decade many of which he was the marquee rider on the team. Very poor choice in rider to choose for someone to compare to "not making it" lmao.

Correct. It's a safe bet to say Mike made at least 5mil in his career....probably closer to 10 mil when the dust settled.

There is one answer to this..........Monster Energy. Monster will pull all strings no matter who their racer is. Also, note Towers signed up this week and he is also a Monster rider. When you are a title sponsor you can make anything happen.

My best guess is there is a loop hole within rules for similar to when someone in the top 10 misses qualifying... I don't know. But my best guess would be for an exemption for a Factory team, who has a rider that will put butts in seats?

Think about the kids that come out of Loretta's, maybe they had already planned to give it a shot, knowing he would meet the requirements by the date?

Like a lot of people, I am guessing... Did the Dude even ask why he was refused after Deegan was allowed? That would be the best answer, rather than have your buddy come on Vital and bitch about it, right?

Life isn't fair, nobody cares about a guy who may not qualify over a guy who will increase television ratings.
Truth sucks, get over it.

The most important part in the rule book states once entries are full. Late entries will only be taken at the discretion of the ama.
So all factory riders will be given this allowance.
Getting the pro licence also says the same thing.
If a rider was bumped out coz the entries were full that would be a shit go but there wasn't.
I also think there were a couple other riders given then late entry at the discretion of the ama.

The kid is already getting a bad image for the bike claim and now for getting special treatment, then he crashes his ass off. He needs to turn the cameras off, play by the rules and focus on diet bike riding and results.

You're not paying any attention to the responses, are you? The class was not full, your rant is based on a false premise.

Not a deegan fan just a logic fan. Deegan became an "A" rider after lorettas once you sign up for ProAM. From the information I can find it only takes 60 points within 18 months to earn your pro license. Those 2 pro am events if he won or was around the podium he could easily get the 60 and be eligible.

Are we talking about the kid that went DNF-24 for 32nd overall?

Let's all remember he was 1 minute behind Jett when he had his tumble.

I wouldn't be too hard on him. Alessi went like 25-27 his first national. He still almost won the 2005 and 2006 125 titles. I would imagine Haiden will be top 10 (maybe better than that) next year outdoors barring an injury.

How was I being hard on him? The fan boys said he was going to beat Jett. It was DANGERBOY VS JETT.

If the truth is too hard then get out of the sport. I said what happened. He went DNF-24. That's the truth. Is that hard to handle? If so go back to local racing.
