    There are a dozen different guys that will be following the WoO Tour and it could be any of them. Ya'll act like there are only 2 or 3 guys running the Tour and are the only guys that can do it. It was only a few years ago that that old washed up Rick Eckert won the title. And if I remember right it was done on the last night of the season. It's a matter of making the most of the whole entire season that makes a Champion. Plenty of things can happen over the off season. 1 small change to a shock, a little different front end geometry, or even a weight ballast change and a driver that was off a little last year could be hard to catch during speedweeks and get a good start for the year. All those guys are good enough to win races and all of them have done it. So any of those guys could win the championship. Especially if they can string together some consistency like that washed up, no driving, overrated Rick Eckert was a few years ago. I'm saying good luck to ALL of them. I'm excited to see how it shakes out.

          Well said as always.....I just think there is too much firepower coming out of the big blue marble in 2017...with a chip on their shoulder and something to prove.

          Like you, I can't wait for it to get started.
          Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

            Things could change drastically after Speedweeks.You never know who may come out of Florida ahead of the pack.Clanton did it and won the title.Davenport last year and they weren't planning in running the Lucas tour.

              I think a lot of guys will do well on woo but the few times I seen Eric Wells last year in my neck of the woods he was a contender every night I would like to see him win a few

                  I heard that Arnie Ranta stepped up Brian Shirleys program a bunch in 2017 and if the squirrel is back to 100% behind the wheel after the concussion, he could be a factor in the title chase. I see his web sight says Arnie is signed and soon an announcement on the tour choice. I would not count out the 3s team, they have something to prove.

                          It's still part of my point. The pointless tease......

                            Madden would be a likely candidate but he always seems to drop off and decide to race closer to home when his chances of winning are in question.Can't really blame him for that.

                                I remember reading something a couple months back that Brian more or less said that as long as he had enough sponsorship, that a return to the WoO for 2017 was the plan.
