They should expand the playoffs to about 50 races and call it a championship.

I have already forgot who won the last race and will be listed as the champion for 2023, but in my mind Ricky Thorton Jr. was the champion.

[Snake X3]

I'm disgusted.

[zyoung25]

I still don't like the idea, I can handle this better than a one race shootout on an mx track with cars. This is probably the way it should've been from the get go. Ricky would have still won the title with this format last year.

what a novel idea! Lol! But what can one expect when a photographer is in charge of the series?

Mentioning how talked about the final was without mentioning 90% of it was trashing the whole thing is a pretty transparent way of changing the narrative.

Along with media personal backing him.

Talk about doubling down on dumb. First they want a chase to prevent someone from dominating all season and running away with the championship, now they want to expand it so his accomplishments would have resulted in a championship. You can't make this stuff up.

Hope all you guys that are so negative on Lucas Oil don’t attend any of the races or subscribe to Flo.
Wouldn’t that be hypocritical?

[blncfn57]

I watch the races for the drivers and ... wait for it, THE RACE!! If you're of the belief that the sanctioning body is the show, you're giving them too much credit.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

I am not being negative to you guys or positive in Lucas Oil. I appreciate all the dried and am very thankful/appreciative of all series for giving us the sport we live.
It’s just that so many are going complain about the points format until they die. 2023 is over- a mistake maybe- bit if they went back to the original format- many would still complain about that.
I think the statement in the above post about Tick being a previous photographer and now the director of Lucas Oil Late Models was a “ low blow.”
Forest Lucas drove a truck for 20 years before starting Lucas Oil Products.
Man it’s the Holiday Season: Let’s be thankfull for what we have and be thankful that a certain 4m’er is currently in time out. All the negativity will certainly be back when he returns.
Merry Christmas to everyone!

Rick -not tick

sometimes it's hard to admit when you made a mistake and should have left things as they were. so add a twist and maybe it won't be so obvious a false champion is getting crowned. again.

[blncfn57]

Very few complaints, but when total domination doesn't result in a championship.... it's all a gimmick, IMO. lol

As they say, having too much pride is a mothef*&%er!!! :)

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Dirt late model racing existed long before Lucas Oil was involved. One can be a fan of the sport and the racing and say nothing good about the sanction body.

They were the adults in charge that have overseen the reinvention of the wedge car and all the negatives that come with that. It's like if the wing got bigger on a sprint car every year.

For the world of me, I can't come up with any reason why I care what you think!

Heck, it's not even going to result in a second place finish!

Myself along with 99% of people realize rtj was the man to beat last year. This chase crap has to stop, it does nothing for the sport other than getting people ticked off at years end. A 1 race deal cannot determine who is your series champion for the season. I can't imagine how the people felt in rtj's camp at the conclusion of that final race.

[racingbum14]

Thanks Lucas for turning your series to Nascar on dirt.

[Bforwarned]

If they want to do this chase crap they should at least stagger the starting points and not just set everyone back to zero.
