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

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.

Why did he get a cameo here?

parent

54 points ZerroTheDragon

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

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

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.

[Fox Sports Chairman] Hill says he received a recent e-mail from a high-ranking NASCAR official Hill declined to identify blaming "Digger,"... It was because of Digger that people were turning off in droves because they couldn't stand it," Hill said. "I said, 'I'm so sorry. If I'd known, I never would have created him. I didn't realize how insidious he was.'
