Each summer at Loretta Lynn’s, rumors break of a top amateur prospect hitting the free-agency market. The rumors usually get crazy. I feel like, when Austin Forkner was at the Ranch, we were hearing about three-year deals one day, five-year deals the next, and eight-year deals by the end of the week. If Loretta’s ran a four-moto format, he’d probably have been rumored to sign a lifetime deal. Jett Reynolds was similar a few years ago. Someone said they saw a Brinks truck with cash headed over to his pit area.
