I think you have it backwards....

[thexfactor0210]

Dennis Erb has the full Lucas schedule on his site. Davenport is running Lucas.

[Zonks32x]

Hudson O'Neal, Lucas
Josh Richards, Lucas
Jonathan Davenport, Lucas
EPJ, Lucas
Don O'Neal, Lucas

[lighting]

Stormy Scott Lucas

[Mams]

Isn’t Madden running WoO?

[Dlmfan123]

Austin rettig- lucas chris Madden-woo

[Dirtking2512]

It's a safe bet that bloomquist will be back out on Lucas

[Ryan21mid]

Don O'Neal to Lucas still isn't a done deal. Per DoD, a return to CBR is still dependent on sponsorship. He should know soon, but if he doesn't return to Bowyer then he has a backup ride secured but isn't sure it'll allow him to run the full tour.

[Dirtking2512]

After today you can safely put Tmac on Lucas again

[formercrewguy]

After today you can safely put Tmac on Lucas again

Yup. Major sponsorship with Bilstein.

[GEAR_HEAD]

DOD says Terbo is running Lucas with Best. No surprise there.

[MI Dirt Fan]

DOD says Terbo is running Lucas with Best. No surprise there.

Same with Moran and DB. lol

[No_Weak_Links]

Do the Lucas Provisionals go with the car or with the driver?

[Dlmfan123]

Do the Lucas Provisionals go with the car or with the driver?Car for speedweeks

[No_Weak_Links]

Yup. Major sponsorship with Bilstein.

What is the major sponsorship? I see they are supplying him with shocks and support, but is that it?

[formercrewguy]

What is the major sponsorship? I see they are supplying him with shocks and support, but is that it?

Is that it? You're kidding, right? Next to an engine, shocks are the most critical thing on a car. A top team can easily eat up 100K a year in shocks alone. Money wise, I have no clue.

[No_Weak_Links]

You're kidding, right? They could barely afford to get to the track last year it seemed. How about a hauler to start with so you could actually have a back-up car, engines, suspension parts and sheet metal, wheels, tires, fuel, hotel bills, food, diesel fuel. Not saying a good shock deal isn't huge, I just wonder if they are backing him financially. And I don't believe any dirt late model team is spending $100k+ per year on shocks

[Crossbones]

And I don't believe any dirt late model team is spending $100k+ per year on shocks

Not even close to that, not even in the city the ball park is in.lol People have big eyes on here.

[MI Dirt Fan]

The headline on DoD says Tmac partnering with Bilstein. So I would assume they are getting some sort of financial assistance. I don't think they would have a headline just because someone changed shock manufacturers. Chassis maybe but not shocks.

[Dlmfan123]

I’m thinking there has to be some kind of monetary benefit for tmac to leave Penske

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Yea more wins!

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Yea more wins!JD is Penske is he not?

TMac’s issues were more than shocks. Lack of help and a hauler didn’t help matters.

[MI Dirt Fan]

No Penske. NASA technology.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

I dont think they ran penskes They had jri then switched to something else.
I could be wrong though

[Dlmfan123]

They were at the penske test at charlotte

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

They were at the penske test at charlotte

Ok thats right I forgot about that. Thanks dlmf

[MI Dirt Fan]

Satterlee just said at the PRI show they haven't made any plans yet for 2019. They plan to race but not sure when and where.

[MRM]

Rumor has it Shanon Buckingham may run for Lucas ROTY.

[Tireguy17]

The headline on DoD says Tmac partnering with Bilstein. So I would assume they are getting some sort of financial assistance. I don't think they would have a headline just because someone changed shock manufacturers. Chassis maybe but not shocks.

I think you're looking too far into the word "Partnering." That word is used in the industry to describe all different levels of sponsors.

[Illtsate32]

Sounded to me that Moyer Jr was hinting hard at running the Lucas Tour...

[MI Dirt Fan]

Where was he doing that at?

[Illtsate32]

DF PRI show he did an interview with Tyson Graves..its on Racing Performance Media fb page, he was asked if he was gna run any SN races and he said possibly cause there is a decent break in the Lucas tour over the summer... he pretty much said he was going to run it...

[Zonks32x]

If all these "rumors" are true, Lucas is going to have 22+ full-time drivers....🤣

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

You're kidding, right? They could barely afford to get to the track last year it seemed. How about a hauler to start with so you could actually have a back-up car, engines, suspension parts and sheet metal, wheels, tires, fuel, hotel bills, food, diesel fuel. Not saying a good shock deal isn't huge, I just wonder if they are backing him financially. And I don't believe any dirt late model team is spending $100k+ per year on shocks

All Tmac had to do was get his CDL and he had a hauler.

[MI Dirt Fan]

I'm guessing he'll be parked close to EPJ if he does...

He did say they were going to start Speedweeks at Brunswick. I also read he switched to Penske shocks last year and he thinks that really helped him.

[Dlmfan123]

I think I found out where epjs cut of the dirt million went

[MI Dirt Fan]

I think I found out where epjs cut of the dirt million went

Maybe......

[WisWildManFan]

DF PRI show he did an interview with Tyson Graves..its on Racing Performance Media fb page, he was asked if he was gna run any SN races and he said possibly cause there is a decent break in the Lucas tour over the summer... he pretty much said he was going to run it...Yea he's going to run a tour every year until they start racing

[Josh Bayko]

If all these "rumors" are true, Lucas is going to have 22+ full-time drivers....藍

Lol. You know by May there will be 12 guys on both tours like every year.

[MI Dirt Fan]

I don't know if WoO is even going to start out with 12 guys committed.

[Josh Bayko]

I don't know if WoO is even going to start out with 12 guys committed.

They’ll have at least 12 by the time they leave Florida.

[Dlmfan123]

I’m gonna take a guess and say colton flinner will try and get on a tour again.

[Josh Bayko]

I highly doubt his current car owner Johnny Johnson can afford or wants a national touring schedule.

[Dlmfan123]

I highly doubt his current car owner Johnny Johnson can afford or wants a national touring schedule.He can most definitly afford it. And I know that’s what colton wants to do

[Zonks32x]

I have no "official" word, just pure speculation, but I won't be shocked if Squirrel/Cullen run WoO in '19.

[thexfactor0210]

Shirley said at PRI he is not ready to run a series

[Zonks32x]

Because they're busy finishing the 4 cars that are currently sitting in the shop. 😁

They come out of FL sitting pretty in points, and that may change.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Having the money, and being ok with blowing it on racing is two different stories. Yes, I know the Johnsons have been in racing forever. My Mom was a Davey fan, and even Bucky. They’ve never footed the bill for a tour, not even for Davey.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Add Kyle Bronson to Lucas series. They are gonna try to run the entire series but are also looking for some more sponsorship according to his interview. And also to hire someone for full time help. He only had one guy last year.

[Illtsate32]

He cant do anything but improve. With sharing notes with Pierce should help too. Wonder what shocks Bronson runs? Ive said it before and I dont want to turn this about Bobby but id love to see him test with a set of Integras or Penskes, they are super loyal to Advanced, I just think the Rocket doesnt respond to those as well as Integras or Penskes...but I think those two sharing notes can be a plus, more for Kyle than Bobby but still...

[MI Dirt Fan]

I've said it a few times but he'd be better off running spring Nationals, Southern Nationals and SNBS stuff for a season or two. People can say what they want about him. He is a pretty talented driver but struggles with open motor stuff. It's hard to go from a state that doesn't have competitive open motor LM to racing against the best of the best on a national tour. I think they struggle with setups. Could be shocks too. But like he said and even what people said with Pierce last year was they were going to struggle at places they've never been too or only once before.

[No_Weak_Links]

Makes sense to me. I know the Southern Nationals have like 10 races and 4 of those are $10k each, and both Lucas and WOO will be in other parts of the country.

[Highside Hustler25]

Hard to share notes when one is on tour and the other is racing regionally.

I think they struggle with setups. Could be shocks too. But like he said and even what people said with Pierce last year was they were going to struggle at places they've never been too or only once before.Before he left Rocket in 17 I think it was, he was making some headway I thought. Then he runs the Dream cars for a bit, no good, then he thinks an SB car is going to propel him into the next Scotty B, total waste. They do not suit him whatsoever, and the rest of the drama, is what it is. Stick with the XR1’s, get a good comfortable package, and stick with it. Be consistent, in 17 he was really getting there. Then this year, like the old Bronson we all pretty much dislike.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

And yeah, run them Ray Cook series, and other stuff as you can.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Didn't he follow Rocket1 around some in 17'? I know they aren't going to give away all thier info obviously.

[Dlmfan123]

Maybe......Did ya see the hooters?

[MI Dirt Fan]

Did ya see the hooters?

Hypnotizing...

[MI Dirt Fan]

Shirley said at PRI he is not ready to run a series

Talk about someone needing a website overhaul.

[Dirtking2512]

Does anyone know if Frank Heckenast Jr will try Lucas oil this year since he was going to but couldn't due to injury last year

[MI Dirt Fan]

He said in an interview at pri show he has no plans of running a national tour. Sounded like he was going to run Summer Nationals. Then he'd be done after September because he's getting married in October. But he did mention something about it next year.

Click the link and scroll down to 1:05 pm update. You don't need a subscription. He gives and interesting perspective on running Summer Nationals compared to WoO.

[ImCryn2]

Does anyone know if Frank Heckenast Jr will try Lucas oil this year since he was going to but couldn't due to injury last year

I think I read an interview where he was talking summer nationals again. I know it's only part of the season, but that would keep him from being at every race on either tour.

[Illtsate32]

Hard to share notes when one is on tour and the other is racing regionally.

Was thinking at the house over Sunday dinner lol...

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Didn't he follow Rocket1 around some in 17'? I know they aren't going to give away all thier info obviously.Yes he did.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Was thinking at the house over Sunday dinner lol...Lol, yeah, wonder if they’ll bring up the PDC:). Bet Ciara roughed him up that night lol. Wonder if he will wear that nice suit, was nice seriously, with the ball cap.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Whatever happened to them making announcements during the PRI show of who's signing up to run a series like WoO?

[Illtsate32]

Ya lol he already got the girl he dont have any hair put the razor to that dome and embrace it lol...

[Crossbones]

Whatever happened to them making announcements during the PRI show of who's signing up to run a series like WoO?

They only did that last year.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Ya lol he already got the girl he dont have any hair put the razor to that dome and embrace it lol...Yeah man. Like his suit was tough, then he had on that dang baby blue cap. Maybe he had a sentimental reason. Really just trying to even out my criticism of him with a compliment.

[MI Dirt Fan]

I think he's always wearing a hat. Just kinda his style. Like Richard Petty.

[Dlmfan123]

Rumor has it Shanon Buckingham may run for Lucas ROTY.He said today on Facebook that they are going to speedweeks and would have to be running very well before he would think about it

[goincircles]

Crusty Schlenk will be trying to win Lucas Oil and WOO rookie of the year and might try for the Oakshade title as well

[Pennsboro23]

I just don't see the WoO getting 12 drivers this coming season. They only had 10 finish last season. If Lanigan and Overton both run which are big ifs, then that makes 6. Plus Moyer jr said he would like to tour...


Brandon Sheppard
Chris Madden
Shane Clanton
Darrell Lanigan
Brandon Overton
Chase Junghans
Billy Moyer jr

if everything goes right...

[MI Dirt Fan]

I think Moyer Jr is leaning towards Lucas.

[thexfactor0210]

Brent Larson is talking about running WoO again

Blake Spencer has committed to run the tour. Dont know if it will actually happen.

[thexfactor0210]

Is the WoO still giving drivers with perfect attendance $300 to show up for each event regardless of where you are at in points?

[Dlmfan123]

[Pennsboro23]

Kyle hardy and Blake spencer

Yep, forgot about them. Thats still only 9 IF everyone I mentioned commits. Guys like Heckanest, Fergy, and others who have toured in the past have said they’re not this year.

[stewart fan]

Bloomer was wearing world of outlaws jacket at Dome race the whole weekend,I guess nobody found it odd lol

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Man is he light years off in speed, really nice stuff, but speed and talent. He is the main one Birky was referring to at Eldora.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Bloomer was wearing world of outlaws jacket at Dome race the whole weekend,I guess nobody found it odd lol

Nothing anymore is odd with him. Up to those mind games again. lol

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Bloomer was wearing world of outlaws jacket at Dome race the whole weekend,I guess nobody found it odd lol

Thats cuz his ol lady took everything he had

[Dlmfan123]

Bloomer was wearing world of outlaws jacket at Dome race the whole weekend,I guess nobody found it odd lolThat thing was at least 10 years old

[zyoung25]

He had that same jacket on when he made his first video for his Twitter account, and everyone lost their minds. It's just a coat!

[TMaCiLLiNi39]

He had that same jacket on when he made his first video for his Twitter account, and everyone lost their minds. It's just a coat!

That’s because 85% of Dirt Late Model Fans are quite possibly the most gullible individuals on the planet... until PRI there were still fans that actually thought Bloomquist was driving for Dunn Benson! Lmao

[Josh Bayko]

Nothing anymore is odd with him. Up to those mind games again. lol

I doubt it's even intended to be mind games. He just likes the jacket.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Or at least when it comes to Ole Bloomers they are pretty gullible lol.

I'd actually like to see him run WoO. He could still hit most if not all of the big Lucas events. His one and only championship was way back in 04'. Not saying he'd be a lock to win it of course but it would definitely put another notch in his career to win a second one now.

[thexfactor0210]

I think Moyer Jr is leaning towards Lucas.

Moyer Jr. has the all of Lucas Speedweeks on his website schedule so I guess that shows he is going to try Lucas...Kind of surprising with how thin the WoO is that he wouldn't try to run with them.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Yea I saw that. He even has Bubba race on there. He didn't go last year. Someone asked him on Twitter a month or two ago and he said he was gonna run all of Lucas Speedweeks and see how it goes. He kinda slipped up in an interview at the PRI show and mentioned his possible intentions of running Lucas.

[Pennsboro23]

Moyer jr

Surprises me he wouldn't run WoO with the lack of drivers over there.

[george w]

I'd have to guess it has more to do with being closer to Stuckey, he seemed to hit on something he felt comfortable with late in the year in that new car/shock program ... just a guess though

[MI Dirt Fan]

I'd have to guess it has more to do with being closer to Stuckey, he seemed to hit on something he felt comfortable with late in the year in that new car/shock program ... just a guess though
That's my guess. I even posted somewhere I bet he pits somewhere close to EPJ.

[dirty-white-boy]

Yea he's going to run a tour every year until they start racing

Exactly!

Just like his dad retiring every year!

[MI Dirt Fan]

Add Kyle Bronson to Lucas. He'll be back full time on it in 2019.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Terbo has the Lucas dates on his schedule. Obviously missing is any WoO dates and Eldora. I'm assuming would be in thier family ride depending on what they choose to run.

[Dlmfan123]

I don’t think there is a “family ride” anymore.

[Highside Hustler25]

add Shanon Buckingham - Lucas Oil

[lvillefan1928]

Ricky weiss, cade Dillard, and gr smith plan on running woo

[Zonks32x]

Vegas line on who stays on tour longer...

BMJ jr on Lucas or GR Smith on WoO

[racincowboy02]

I think that might be a push lol

If Im betting I say BMJ stays out longer

[MI Dirt Fan]

Vegas line on who stays on tour longer...

BMJ jr on Lucas or GR Smith on WoO
Ouch........

[No_Weak_Links]

I bet Overton goes WOO but haven't heard anything.

[Dlmfan123]

Jimmy Owens has the lucas schedule on his site. Looks like no slowing down for him yet

[MI Dirt Fan]

Jimmy Owens has the lucas schedule on his site. Looks like no slowing down for him yet

And some WoO events. I just looked a little over an hour ago so it must've just went up.

[huskerdirt]

Vegas line on who stays on tour longer...

BMJ jr on Lucas or GR Smith on WoO

I don’t think GR Smith will even make it to Volusia.

[Snake X3]

Looks like Junghans is following WoO again.

Any word on Zeigler or Saterlee?

[Dlmfan123]

Yes on junghans and last I heard satterlee was not going to run a tour

[Snake X3]

Yes on junghans and last I heard satterlee was not going to run a tour

Thank you, sir.

[Josh Bayko]

I’ve heard Satterlee going back to a more regional slate too.

[Pennsboro23]

Josh, the regional scene in PA looks strong this season.

Blair, Miley, Zeigler, Satterlee, Chub, Briggs, Eckert?

[Pennsboro23]

Looks like Darrell Lanigan will indeed be running the WoO series. Just took a peak at his upcoming schedule.

[Josh Bayko]

Josh, the regional scene in PA looks strong this season.

Blair, Miley, Zeigler, Satterlee, Chub, Briggs, Eckert?


It does, It'll probably see healthy does of Norris, Hess and Ferree too.

[thexfactor0210]

Lanigan back to WoO is a good one for that series. Owens back to Lucas as well I saw. So we are waiting on Bloomer, Satterlee, and Zeigler???

[Dlmfan123]

My guess is zeigler will give Lucas a run again. But, I’m almost positive satterlee is not

[MI Dirt Fan]

I got to thinking when I saw McDowell had the next two WoO dates on his schedule now after Volusia what if he came out of those with the points lead would they think about it but then I remembered he was going to Screven
