    Between the negative publicity and lack of a tv package, you wonder how long they can survive. There seems to be more "bigger" sponsors on the Lucas series and that's a definite advantage for racers trying to secure dollars!

    Not even going to read it. But are you fukin serious? You do the whole tire thing, whatever with that, I think it needs to be more out in the open. The actual testing process, lab personnel, etc.

    The LaSalle thing, no TV package, and whatever else they have done. I mean he!!, going clear back to when they started up the WoO again, there was some butt hurt. So work on TV, and being out in the open, not with an iron fist, and it might get better.

    Though I think they are still pretty successful. Got a lot of drivers following them this year.
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

    By the looks of the crowds at Gaffney and Fayetteville even with weather threatening I think they will be around for quite awhile. Both of those places had big crowds. The guy that wrote this piece of crap is clueless. Nor do people that are always looking for the negatives understand that if they do go away it is bad for the sport. Too many tracks closing, series failing and small car counts will lead to this sports demise. Negativity like this will accelerate the death.

    I mean they have what, 12-15 cars following the tour, plus the crowds, so who the fuk knows. Maybe he was bored.

    I've heard this doom and gloom for years. Again late model fans act like the WoO sprint tour doesn't exist, and the late model series is still rather profitable. WRG isn't going anywhere, unless somebody wants to pay them the millions it would cost to acquire the company.

    This wasn't even an article. It was a blog with a negative slant towards WRG. He didn't present anything that hasn't been said on 4m. Honestly, it was a waste of time.

    That was far from well written. More like poorly written with negative intentions.

    I think he was being sarcastic.
