2024 WoO/LOLMDS/XR best guesses/rumors

[ftfiowa]

so we already know Hughes won't be back on a national tour. Owens & overton are most likely done touring. bruening i dont see touring nor marlar either whether they are teammates or not. who else will not be back on a tour in 2024?

anybody new going out with WoO or LOLMDS in 2024?
does pierce switch to LOLMDS for 2024 and go for the big point money?
does Superman 49 drop off the tour grind?
What changes are in store for drivers from the tours?

lets get the rumor mill fired up and start upsetting some 4m'ers!!

They stated about 3 or so weeks back they are looking for crew help and will be on tour in 2023.

Overton pretty much said he's not cut out for following a whole tour in a recent DoD interview.

[Raceready]

^along with a whole lot of other folks...Fans included ! !

[SLlDlNG SIDEWAYS]

^Lol, any major dlm event not filling seats in the stands is a reach, to say the least.

[SLlDlNG SIDEWAYS]

Maybe RTJ will drop them if somehow he gets corned out of the title ? ?
If Ricky does rightfully get the Lucas title I say he drops out anyway and goes over to grab the WoO title next.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

BLACKIE moves into Bobby Pierce basement! 🤭🤭

[Raceready]

If Ricky does rightfully get the Lucas title I say he drops out anyway and goes over to grab the WoO title next.Of course he better hope that young Bobby don't decide to run it so that he has a fair to middlin chance ! !

[SLlDlNG SIDEWAYS]

^There you go again claiming unfairness on dirty bobby. What exactly is bobby doing that is so unfair and cheating the others?

[Tireguy17]

Camping Lots 1-5 are SOLD OUT for this weekend, and driver poll is in favor of the Lucas points format returning, so get used to it folks. Its more money over all for the teams.

[zyoung25]

Wilson will be back on with Lucas next year.

[noitall93w]

"I wouldn’t be surprised to see Drake Troutman on a tour."-Pennsboro32I am buying stock in hoosier if that is the case. Poor guy blows more RR than anyone in the country

[84wedge]

Camping Lots 1-5 are SOLD OUT for this weekend, and driver poll is in favor of the Lucas points format returning, so get used to it folks. Its more money over all for the teams.It sounds to me like they're all being forced to vote for it for money only. Why can't they just pay the top four the same amount without resorting to some contrived BS that could make a guy 1000 points behind the leader the champion? If they did, would they just go back to giving the fourth place guy peanuts?

This is the way I see it as well.

Every driver including RTJ knew the points system when they signed the contract to race for Lucas Oil in 2023 at the beginning of the year. You don't see the drivers complaining about it, just some fans, even though it doesn't affect them.

They took the safe bet at the beginning of the season.

Watch FLO's recent video with the final 4 drivers, they're not as enthused about it now, other than Devin.

All fans have is the history. It's been distorted, just like in NASCAR.

Exactly. Taking the check doesn't mean you like the work.

[pierceFAN]

the lucas format penalizes a driver like thornton for having a great year...with that being said...they knew that before going in so they dont really have an argument...i know that was one of the reasons bobby went with woo...but there is an idiot on here that never posts anything with any relevance...only here to spew trash...he will say bobby is scared of the lucas boys...bonefied idiot he is

[84wedge]

Back to best guesses, talking out my @ss here, I predict Winger is back on WoO in the Best Performance car.

[SLlDlNG SIDEWAYS]

bobby went with woo...because he's an idiot behind the wheel that never learned respect for other drivers...bobby is scared of the lucas boys...and I'm a bonefied idiot as he is

Good to hear you speak the truth Billy the kid, I'm in russ. Only thing though you spelled bona fide wrong. Lol!!!

[flagone]

I am NOT a fan of the format BUT BRS put the money out to do this and the 4th place finisher still gets what the champion would have gotten without the newly infused money. So other than being called the champion they don't lose anything financially.

It is what it is. Traditions change all the time for the sake of the dollars. And obviously, according to all the social media chatter, they all need as many of those that they can get.

[SLlDlNG SIDEWAYS]

I'm sure it was entirely his decision... Lol

[ftfiowa]

Potential 2024 WoO Roster imo:
1. B5 Sheppard
2. 28 d. erb
3. 19r gustin
4. 44 madden
5. 9 hoffman, unless he runs for LOLMDS ROY
6. 96v english
7. 20tc chamberlain
8. B1 Larson
9. 30 cooney

[ftfiowa]

Potential LOLMDS 2024 roster imo:
1. 1 o'neal
2. 20rt thornton jr
3. 39 mccreadie
4. 32 pierce
5. 99 moran
6. 18d wilson
7. 40 bronson
8. 1t t. erb
9. 111 blair
10. 46 pearson(lucas $$$, but i think he retires at year end)

[ftfiowa]

I hope all the guys return to their tours in 2024 but i dont think it happens without the sanctions drastically changing their $$$ structures.

[MEE]

I really have no info on any of this but I don't think that D.Erb jr or Mcready , will be back on a national tour next year and I don't look for Best to keep Tyler Erb on tour.

[Barbecueboy]

All fans have is the history. It's been distorted, just like in NASCAR.

Excellent perspective….

[Pennsboro32]

Mastersbilt nailed that one.

History is important, I love statistics, history, etc.. That stuff is important to the sport, this format only hurts it IMO. I know, the money, the money, the money...

[ImCryn2]

Traditions change all the time for the sake of the dollars. And obviously, according to all the social media chatter, they all need as many of those that they can get.

It's a big circle. They need more dollars because everything has drastically went up in price, alot of times due to someone thinking they are making things better. The series' and media that sell advertising think it's great when companies like Hoosier put money in their pockets, but it's all at the expense of the end user (in this case, the racer). Take a look at the sponsor ads on this page alone. How many actually sell a product to anyone other than a racer?

[play4kps]

Nailed it ImCryin, The corporate sponsors of these series are giving their products away to the top teams to promote their product. Which then leaves the other teams having to buy high priced parts the other top teams are running. Its a never ending keeping up with the Jones mentality.

[MRM]

I'm pretty certain that Moran and Double Down will be back and run Lucas again next year.

[ImCryn2]

I'm pretty certain that Moran and Double Down will be back and run Lucas again next year.

He has every reason to, he is one of the competitors who benefited from the new format.
