Like I said to you in a previous post, OMBanding is not easy. Let me start by saying that this is not the best story I have ever seen but it certainly is not the worst. Above posters are correct! The mic placement on your interviews scream amateur!! It takes a second to run that up a shirt.
Ryan this is racing, fast pace, fast action, crashes, air guns, pits, tire changes, screaming drivers, etc. where are they?? How about an announcer calling the race. Kids, people in the stands yelling, cheering on their family, friend or favorite driver. Drivers happy or sad from race etc...
Tell me a story, beginning, middle, end. What are you trying to convey to the audience. Why should people show up to this track? What is the big difference from dirt track to an asphalt track? What are the drivers trying to accomplish ( do they want to be in NASCAR)or is it just a hobby. You mention some big NASCAR drivers getting their start on dirt tracks, SO??
Shooting! Nothing more distracting to me then having the shutter on when shooting fast action. You need to move around I want to see the wide of the track, cars going around, sliding into the corners, close calls. Where is the adrenalin!!!!! Racing is exciting! There was nothing exciting in your piece.
Just some critics to consider. What I would like to see is, if you still have the raw footage. Rewrite, and edit this piece again to gain some practice. I think all of us would like to see this piece reworked. Post it and lets see the improvement!!
Keep working it will come.
