Only 3 WoO tour members have made over $100,000 on tour with almost $200,000 going to the Rocket House Car.

Overton’s made more doing his own thing. Guess that means outlaw schedule is the way to go if you want to make the most.

And how much have they all spent? I'm guessing at least that much.

as they should. seems like payouts and purses are slowly and finally catching up with the times. it felt like payouts were the same from mid 90s to 2010s.

Moran has over $100k.

I don't think it's a fair comparison of WoO to Lucas since some races are scheduled against each other. Not just events $20k and more but some $15k ones.

Madden (Billy Franklin) spent close to $100k alone picking up 2 brand new Rocket xR1s not so long ago.

Of their own money? Probably not much

True. I also wonder the following.

How much did the drivers get to keep?

I think there are very few teams that have sponsorship that picks up all the expenses.

True. I also wonder the following.How much did the drivers get to keep?Nobody ever talks about that but it's the number one motivator. Of all that money Brandon Sheppard won last year, how much did he actually get? How many drivers unhappy with their pay on a team become uncompetitive? It MUST happen because I've seen it happen in the workplace regularly.

I think Brandon makes out ok on the deal, 40% has been tossed out there but that's never going to be revealed. Some are on salaries plus a small % of winnings.

The stats are pretty telling that Lucas Oil pays better AND has the best drivers and cars in the world.

Beat that dead horse a little harder. Is that the only thought process you're capable of?

Top to bottom, yeah Lucas is better. I'd still take B. Shep and Madden over anyone in the top 10 of Lucas points with the exceptions of Davenport and McCreadie when it comes to a full season. I'd actually take them over McCreadie if it came to a single race and I had to bet money on who I think would win. Neither series has Overton, Pierce, or Kyle Larson who I'd also bet over almost all the series regulars.

I'm to lazy to look it up, but have the 2 series ran about the same number of races? If they have then it's more of an apples to apples comparison. Otherwise it's just selective fact finding. Just my opinion.

4 WoO teams are less than $6000 from also being over that $100,000.

So, by this time next week, there may be 7 teams over that amount. With 8 on Lucas.

Not nearly as bad as you make it out to be.

I would like to know how many races Lucas has ran vs WoO. It feels like Lucas has had a lot note rainouts to me.

WoO has run about 9 more events than Lucas. Lucas has lost 8 $12k or $15k to win events due to cancellations.
