[Ryan21mid]

Chase Junghans listed twice on WoO.
Add BMJ to Lucas.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Moyer Jr hasn't committed to Lucas yet. He says he's waiting to see how Speedweeks goes before making a decision

[Pennsboro23]

Don't think Zeigler or Satterlee are running a tour this season.

[WisWildManFan]

So probably 7 and 12 for the entire year

[thexfactor0210]

Chase Junghans listed twice on WoO.
Add BMJ to Lucas.

Thanks. I will add BMJ as a question mark.

[huskerdirt]

Moyer Jr hasn't committed to Lucas yet. He says he's waiting to see how Speedweeks goes before making a decision

That’s the story for half the guys on each list.

[Clayton_Wetter]

Moyer Jr hasn't committed to Lucas yet. He says he's waiting to see how Speedweeks goes before making a decision

Isn't that always the case? :)

That seems to go for several drivers. If they can get a good start, they will tour until it goes sour.

[TS FAN]

Speedweeks results usually determines several decisions. So it is premature other than separating which series a driver would try for at speedweeks

[schlieperfan9]

Is Brent Larson or David Breazeale running WoO or a series in 2019?

[RaceEngineer]

Is Brent Larson or David Breazeale running WoO or a series in 2019?Breazeale is not

[LugNutz]

Stormy Scott Lucas Oil

[flagone]

I think you have one on one of the lists that will be on the other come Screven.

[thexfactor0210]

Any insight on that flagone???? Lol

[Pennsboro23]

Looks like Satterlee is starting out with Lucas.

[Dlmfan123]

Looks like Satterlee is starting out with Lucas.Taking advantage of tow money and provisionals

[Pitboard]

That is probably the weakest WoO field ever to start out the season. In a way it's good because it opens the door for the rookies to jump in, get right into the top-12 for tow money and know they are guaranteed a top-10 point check at the end of the year if the stay on tour. Also gives a chance for local guys to drop in on certain races and get top-5 finishes.

It probably won't generate as much fan buzz as Lucas when they come into town though. Somebody will end up 10th with Lucas who could have ran top-3 with WoO.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Also gives a chance for local guys to drop in on certain races and get top-5 finishes.

I would say a local has a better chance to run top 5 or even win in WoO than Lucas any year.

[WRC11]

Larson just posted on Facebook he is going to Florida/Georgia

[RaceEngineer]

Taking advantage of tow money and provisionalsIt's cheaper to stay home.

[Dlmfan123]

It's cheaper to stay home.But he wants to race so might as well make some extra money while your down there! Not like Gregg does this for a living anyways

[Josh Bayko]

But he wants to race so might as well make some extra money while your down there! Not like Gregg does this for a living anyways

Plus it’s cold as hell right now in these parts. Florida isn’t.

[Pitboard]

MI Dirt Fan, I agree, Lucas has had the tougher competition for years. It's just more lopsided this year than ever.

[thexfactor0210]

Looks like Boom Briggs is running WoO full time in 2019.

[Dlmfan123]

I had a feeling he would since Lanigan is.

[Pennsboro23]

Dennis Erb jr to WoO

[flagone]

And there was the answer to my post.

[Pennsboro23]

That's big. WoO needed another high caliber driver. Roster looks pretty good now.

Sheppard
Madden
Clanton
Lanigan
Erb jr
Weiss
Overton?
Junghans
Briggs
Dillard
Hardy
Smith

That's a solid 12 plus a couple others.

[thexfactor0210]

Wow! That is big news around these parts (Northern Illinois) flagone. I think Erb will do well with WoO.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Looks like Boom Briggs is running WoO full time in 2019.

Face it. The Lucas series is going to be tough each night. Other than the Lucas tow money and what not he's going to miss. (Not sure how different it is from WoO) It's probably a smart move for him.

Tell that to the Rocket1 team, b/c their win % was higher in the Lucas races they entered last year than WoO races.

[Zonks32x]

I'm still hearing rumblings another driver may run WoO full-time depending on how they do during speedweeks.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Well yeah. When you enter say 6 races. Win 4 and top 5 and top 10 in the other compared to entering 40+ events and winning like 10-12.

[Dlmfan123]

No lucas or speedweeks for zeigler

[Zonks32x]

WoO 2018
6 different full-time WoO drivers won a race
Bloomer(2), Owens(2). T-Mac ftom Lucas had wins
McDowell(2), Moyer Jrjr, Hedge(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word), and Simpson also had wins

Lucas 2018
12 full-time Lucas drivers won a race
B-Shepp(5), Madden, Erb from WoO had wins
Overton(2), Jameson, Weiss also had wins

Was curious, so I looked at it in more detail.
14 different winners on WoO tour, 18 on Lucas. Not sure if the above proves anything other than it's extremely difficult to win at that level.

Gives one a better appreciation for drivers/teams that win 6+ races on a tour year in and year out, or win events on both tours each year.

Brents facebook page from Jan. 28th indicates he and the team are headed for GA/FL for 2019 kick-off for the WoO tour. He must have found sponsorship!

[waaac77]

Thought I remember hearing Brian Shirley say last year he was planning to run woo in 2019 but haven’t heard anything more about it. Is he going to Florida?

[HoosierDirtFan]

Yes Shirley is going to Florida.

[Pitboard]

To update this thread now, we could remove Eckert and Zeigler, neither are in FL. We can also move D. Erb from Lucas to WoO. That leaves us with 14 potential for WoO and 16 for Lucas at this point. Overton, Satterlee, BMJ, and a few others are uncommitted and likely to drop off soon too.

I have updated the lists. Thanks.

[gb81racing]

With BMJ not making the field for either Lucas Oil race at GIS, wonder if he will leave Eastbay early and head to Screven?

[Pennsboro23]

If I were him, I would. He's buried in points.

[Dlmfan123]

With BMJ not making the field for either Lucas Oil race at GIS, wonder if he will leave Eastbay early and head to Screven?From previous interviews/tweets it sounded like he really didn’t want to go to volusia.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Said it was too hard on engines for him.

[flagone]

Screven hard on engines?

[Dlmfan123]

Screven hard on engines?No volusia

[Dlmfan123]

Add scott James and Brent Larson to woo

[MI Dirt Fan]

Says Larson has the Drydene sponsor

[Zonks32x]

James is another quality addition for WoO in '19.

Still not convinced there won't be at least one more addition to their driver list after Florida.

Shaping up to be interesting on both national tours.
Love the young guns vs. the veterans on Lucas, and the influx of new blood on the WoO circuit.

[thexfactor0210]

Man I wish they would not overlap races in Speedweeks. Then a guy could realistically run both series in Florida, run first two Lucas races at Brownstown and Atomic, and run first WoO races at Farmer City. That would be great for teams to not have to decide until April and really see where they lie in points in both series.
