    Default Breakdown of WoO Expected Drivers

    Kevin Kovac did a nice piece on each driver that has committed to WoO for the 2023 season. It was very fair assessment and gives a nice overview of the drivers. Worth a read if you have the subscription.

    Anything Kovac writes is excellent reading/info. He was an editor for racing papers/magazines long before the internet. His penmanship is spot-on.

    Is the fact WoO has 21 signed drivers now an indictment on the Lucas Oil series chase format?

    I dont think its the Lucas format as much as it's not racing against arguably the 3 strongest teams in McCreadie, Davenport and O'Neal - Plus Moran, Terbo and Thornton.

    I know WoO has the quantity but Ill take the Lucas teams. No way WoO can keep that many on the road, too many will need Provisionals.

    I hate the Lucas deal, but I'm still not going to say that's really it. I think it's more the woo bonus points deal and they started racing first. Woo forced you to pledge early, if there's even a 10% chance you will run with them.

    How about it ? ? The guy who wins the so called 1st race of the season gets regulated to 24th in the season points and 2nd place is in 25th place ? ?

    Who cares? They aren't running the series, you can't get points money if you don't run all of the races anyways. Is going to tarnish t-macs legacy cause he was 25th in points on the opposite tour on January 20th?

    ^ I agree ! It is like " Our series faltered last year compared to Lucas so we will bribe drivers with free points to try to right our ship " ? ?

    I don't know. Whatever works to get WoO a better lineup. You have to give them credit for trying. They've got a bunch of decent drivers this year with Madden, Pierce and B-shep and some good non-title contenders as well. It's good for the sport. They aren't Lucas, but.....

    I really question if Pierce will run WoO after Volusia. Especially after last nights finish.

    I read he had mechanical issues. He'll be okay. I hope he stays on the tour, but I agree...I have my doubts.

    What’s not to like? Better schedule, better paying races, more to win the title.

    What does fan care about purse and pts money? Effects them not whatsoever. Is schedule really better? They never cross mighty miss hardly, they don't go north very far or often, raceway 7 may be furthest north. Now let's talk racing.....fastest 1 lap gives pole to 1st heat. Good start and jump into lead and you win to put you pole of feature. Now again good start and your sailing to 50 lap win. Thinking last year's dtwc was won that exact way. Oooohhhhh such GREAT RACING!
