I know they have sponsors but the way the stands are filling now compared to even 3-4 years ago is unbelievable. These promoters are gonna have to start upping the purses of these races to help the local drivers and dream chasers. I understand the promotion and track owners have to make a living but these drivers are the reason the fans are in the seats. The sport is really growing so let's step it up a little! I mean 5th in points has earned 9k$ in winnings in 2 weeks. Danica Patrick makes 20 times that much to run 30th position.
    The crowds for Speedweeks use to be much bigger than they are now.

We havnt seen the last of Jared Landers just yet. The truth behind his falling out with his old man is that the old man doesn't want anything to do with him getting hurt again. The dr said the likelihood of Jared getting the same injury is much higher now than ever. It's a shame but we will see him again.
      Lander's has become his own man as far as i'm concerned and his Daddy doesn't likethat fact so now he pulled the plug on Jared and has put it behind the other kid Gavin who will never be Half as good as Jared but thats just my opinion... If it were my Call i think i would be on the fence myself but also i wouldnt just totally pull the plug either.... I would do whatever i had to do to make that racecars and the containment seat and harness set up just that much safer so we didnt have this type of injury again...

I think we will have to wait for that next year. Another guy who was in the top 5 equation last year until his accident was Landers. I'm wondering if he will be back in 2018 Full time, as well.
      T-Mac will be a force to be recon with this season thats for sure FALSuperman... I say T-mac top 3 as well if not top 2..
      If you can't race it or take it to bed! It ain't worth having!

        That's a function of the WoO scheduling against the longstanding East Bay time slot.

                  From watching on DoD i know for sure i would never go to screven to watch. Every show I've seen has been one lane save tires until the end and try to pass the guy once he's a sitting duck. I really hope east bay isn't losing fans to that.
