Firecracker switching to Lucas in 2022

[NeedforLM$peed]

Will pay $50k to win. 100 lapper.

[Action10]

That is pretty big news as far as scheduling is concerned.

[Jb1390]

Wow that’s interesting

[bleedblue55]

Now the Big River Steel Firecracker, BRS throwing in the additional purse money

[Justin314]

So WoO lost one of the highest paying events and their only show of the year at Lernerville? Yikes. But hell yes for $50k to win and Lucas.

[Pennsboro32]

The Lucas schedule is huge next season. They’ve added two $50k to wins. Who knows what’s next…

Only late model special Lernerville has all year. There biggest dates are 2 WOO sprint shows, only time will tell if it comes back to bite them in the rear. And before anyone says it, the Steel City Stampede is not a special race.

[Jb1390]

Other then the point fund money WOO is really struggling to elevate themselves… sometimes I think it would be better if we had one tour that paid too 20 in points

[Barbecueboy]

I’ve always been scoffed at for suggesting 1 major series, like your idea though.

Lucas is stepping it up bringing in some great partners, awesome for the drivers…….long overdue their skills and commitment get paid what their worth.

[NeedforLM$peed]

It's quite obvious anymore WoO puts for effort into their sprint car tour than LM. It's their bread and butter. It's almost like the LM tour is a tax write off.

Exciting news. The place will be jammed.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

We need 2 national series or zero. 1 is just a recipe for disaster. Power concentration has been bad for the sport.

[bleedblue55]

Exciting news. The place will be jammed.

Lernerville lost more fans when they started charging for camping than any series can bring back. They'll have a good crowd but I doubt It's packed like 10 yrs. ago.

[Josh Bayko]

One national tour for super late models would be an absolute disaster.

[Barbecueboy]

There are regional series that aren’t far behind woo these days…….it’s almost like that already.

[Josh Bayko]

We’re back to basically STARS and HAT but with a shiny new wrap on it.

[txl9t]

I've been saying for years that I wish the Firecracker was Lucas sanctioned. Bigger names in that series every year. I just hope that the WoO don't schedule against it. As for the track losing their WoO sprint races, no way do I see that happening.

Lucas scheduled against the WOO Firecracker just this past year.

[Spanky44]

Lucas scheduled against the WOO Firecracker just this past year.

2 years in a row they scheduled against it

[taz1458]

2 years in a row they scheduled against itLast year I think everybody can give them a pass. This year on the other hand? Yeah. Stupid.

[dirtcrazy4u]

There's no doubt about the woo going to schedule against the firecracker. It's just a matter of where and what the purse will be. Most promotors don't really want to move dates unless there is something in it for them.

They have to charge for camping to keep the riff raff out. And it worked.

[153J]

The world of riffraff drivers run amuck in the family section this year , just one of the straws that finally broke the camel's back

[bleedblue55]

Funny how that miraculously worked at Lville but not at Eldora. Thomson's excuse for instituting the fee.

[dirtcrazy4u]

I have not been to the firecracker in years. When I was there they had a free concert, a softball game, and other activities and to me the 25.00 was well worth it. Do I agree with charged camping, No, not if I'm not getting anything in return.

[NeedforLM$peed]

Wouldn't be surprised if they loose there outlaw dates now.

Don't see it on the Sprint car schedule that came out

[bleedblue55]

Looks like Atomic got a date and Sharon got another date around the time the Lernerville sprint races happened.

[Dlmfan123]

Looks like Atomic got a date and Sharon got another date around the time the Lernerville sprint races happened.Port royal is the silver cup date and Sharon got the fall race

[NeedforLM$peed]

Any chance Lernerville would get a date between Port Royal and Charlotte or those going to be built in rain dates

[dirtcrazy4u]

Bam, the hammer has fallen. WRG screws Lernerville, could they still be talking ? I doubt it since they added Sharon and Port Royal already. Losing those 2 dates is going to hurt, they have always had big fan support at both of those shows. I expect the Lucas date to be jam packed. Time will tell, I say bring in the All Stars put some decent money on the line and build on that.

[Dlmfan123]

Any chance Lernerville would get a date between Port Royal and Charlotte or those going to be built in rain datesNo. Lernerville wants ppv money and dv isn't giving it out

[raburke23]

Yes, I've heard this whole thing stems from ppv dollars and how WoO doesnt give a piece of the pie to the tracks. Not sure this is true or not. But Lernerville knew the consequences of switching the Firecracker and did it anyway, they knew they would not be having the WoO sprints back either. Being in PA, close to OH, in the hot bed of 410 winged sprints, they can easily work with the All Stars to put on 1 or 2 big Sprint shows. I also think their crowd gets bigger with Lucas over WoO LM.

[TRocket8]

I'm pretty sure WRG wanted out of Lernerville since Lernerville started their own streaming service and did not go with Dirtvision.

[Barbecueboy]

I look at and frequent wrg events like I do shopping at Walmart……I hate to go, but sometimes reluctantly I just have to go to get the stuff I need.

[NeedforLM$peed]

Good insight...
