Cory Hedgecock showed off a a new t-shirt design he’s calling “The Cockfight Heard Around the Dirt” in the wake of him taking part in a WWE-style brawl with Michael Page during The Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series race at Senoia.
In a post to Facebook, Hedgecock wrote, “You asked we listened! Our limited edition: ‘The Cockfight Heard Around the Dirt’ tee is officially available for pre-order!”
The pre-order for the t-shirt will only be up for two weeks and Hedgecock shared the shirt “will not be available to purchase anywhere else.”
The front of the shirt features a rooster with a WWE championship belt across his waist. He’s standing next to Hedgecock’s number 23 that has his last name written across the bottom of the 2 and 3. There’s also CFYA (Coming For Your Ass) above the rooster’s right shoulder in a target.
On the back, it shows a cartoon version of Hedgecock leaping from the top of his vehicle’s hood with a chicken screaming in terror underneath his feet. Emblazoned on the bottom it states, “A Page out of history” clearly referencing the fight with Michael Page. It also has the WWE-style championship belt with Hedgecock’s name and number on it.
Above the car it states, “The Cockfight Heard Around The Dirt with the fighting cock standing behind it. The CFYA target is off to the left. The shirt is listed at $30.00.
As referenced above, the shirt is inspired by Hedgecock’s fight with Michael Page following the conclusion of the Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series race at Senoia. The animosity between Hedgeock and Page started during the opening lap of Heat 3 when Page’s rear made contact with the front of Hedgecock coming out of turn 2 and sending Hedgeock into the wall.
Then during the feature on the last lap, Hedgecock ran an aggressive slider line underneath Page and put him into the outside wall. Page would eventually cross the line in sixth with Hedgecock finishing in third.
Following the conclusion of the race, Page drove to the rear of Hedgecock and began pushing him from behind out of turn 2 and down the back stretch. He eventually got his nose up and under Hedgecock’s rear tires and drove him into the inside wall on the back stretch. After contact with the wall, Hedgecock nearly flipped, but came back down on Page’s nose with his car perpendicular to Page’s.
Both drivers then exited their vehicles and began shouting at each other. Page climbed to the top of his car and began to move toward Hedgecock while a track official attempted to stop by grabbing his ankle and pulling him backward. Hedgeock then took the opportunity to leap across his car on top of Page. The two then wrestled each other onto the ground. A melee ensued, but track officials including track promoter Bubba Pollard began breaking it up immediately. However, more and more people began crowding the scene.
Michael Page was suspended from The Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series as well as all DIRTcar and World Racing Group competition for 30 days. He was also fined $1,000 for fighting and another $1,000 “due to to his crew members entering the racetrack and participating in the altercation.” Hedgeock was fined $1,000 for fighting.
What do you make of Hedgecock’s t-shirt design?
