I guess because it was a Fox movie and Digger was recently created for Fox Sports? it's such a random cameo and people who didn't watch NASCAR had no clue who he was I'm sure
Ohhh!!! See,I'm a NASCAR fan from Europe so I've never seen it on Fox. Only on a cable channel we get that specialises in American Sports,it's the only reason I still have cable
I remember there was a short period where for some freaking reason people just hated on every mascot in sports. Like I remember people hating the NFL robot guy for some reason, I always thought he was cool lol
Fox had the digger cam for a while, and then they created a character, and then they leaned in way too hard with merch and cartoons. It was like 20% of the pre-race show. NASCAR told them to stop promoting Digger so aggressively because it was unavoidable.
Yes, hated with a passion... You know that part of the movie joe dirt? When he finds his parents? And his mom keeps trying to sell the clown stuff? Yeah... That was DW with digger....
DIGGER!!!! I MISS SEEING THE GROUND CAM
I'd love for them to bring him back for the throwback race
It was a cool shot!
Perhaps we were too harsh about him back in 2009…
Sometimes you just don’t know what you have until it’s gone I think if digger was the only thing he had to complain about today we’d just let him be
If anything we weren't harsh enough!

It’s a shame how he went out
Terrible accident that kid had
it’s a shame when they go young like that
Some of y'all don't realize how hated he was. It wasn't exactly seen as that much of a crime when it happened. Which is very sad.
Vincent Van Gogh, Herman Melville, Digger, Edgar Allen Poe...
It's just not fair.
Drug deal gone wrong If I recall...
I heard suicide by cop.
Look at my stupid chud son ❤️
Don’t tell Larson about this little guy
There's no better ride for him to fall upward into.
McLaren F1 is the next step
KTDBOTP 🍔👑
Why did he get a cameo here?

Very likely this. A little bit of cross-promotion as an inside joke for those who got the reference.

It was also like ten/fifteen years ago
Because Fox
LEAVE DIGGER ALONE
We trashed on digger enough back in the day, we can be nice now
No ❤️
At least the orange/blue diecast promo we had of him from 2010 was kinda cool. But only that one
So we're just pretending Keselowski and Logano appearing in the Sharknado 3 didn't happen?
Wait people hated digger???
Probably it Depended on how old you were. I liked digger but I was 8-9 years old
I was in my 20s and liked him a lot.
I remember there was a short period where for some freaking reason people just hated on every mascot in sports. Like I remember people hating the NFL robot guy for some reason, I always thought he was cool lol
Cleatus. He’s 20 years old now!
I just learned he actually has a name! That’s cool!
They used to see toys of him wearing your favorite NFL team!

Definitely. I was not one of them though. I loved that little dude and his buddies.
imagine turning off a race because of a cartoon animal that showed up for like 5 seconds
Frankenstein (2025)
Yes, hated with a passion... You know that part of the movie joe dirt? When he finds his parents? And his mom keeps trying to sell the clown stuff? Yeah... That was DW with digger....
Nah we love this lil guy
What movie was this?
Digger was the best and I will hear no slander 🙅🏼♀️🙅🏼♀️🙅🏼♀️
...I liked Digger. The scream while the pack was racing toward him always made me laugh.
2007 v1 Cartoon Digger was much more easier to like compared to 2009 3-D Digger.
No way!! Genius placement.
Digger was great
I think this was around the same time people were destroying Jar Jar Binks so there was a theme.
Digger was awesome and ill take no Digger slander
I miss my Digger
Nah Digger's cool
Now he gets his own movie this year starring Tom Cruise. /s
I miss Digger
Huh never watched the second movie, also never knew people didn’t like digger lol
I miss my boy
I remember watching this with my 4 year old nephew when it came out and I laughed my ass off
Man I miss the Digger cam lol
Digger is my hero.
What movie is this?
Yall will whine and hate everything you can find about NASCAR good lord. Some of yall need to go outside once in a while
Dude I’m not hating. I just find it comical. Relax.
You went thru the effort to make entire post about this 🤣🤣 how on earth do you get through any given Sunday without scratching your eyeballs out ?
Dude It's a joke go take a walk.
As opposed to whatever you're doing here?
Average darrel fan
Do we really need to go back 15 years to find shit to bitch about? Man this “fan”base is so toxic it’s become pathetic
Gee, what’s your problem?
The digger! That they had to change the name because of… ya know… possible slip ups on tv
