        This was scheduled in October of 2017. It is an annual event. Lucas and WoO both rescheduled rainouts on top of it. It is what it is. Just part of the business. But we have around 40 of the best regional drivers in the country coming so one of them could have their biggest career payday at one of the nicest facilities in the country.

            I think its good foe the regional and local drivers. They deserve a shot at a big payday against competition that doesnt race for a living. Be a good chance for Zach Dohm or Ricky Weiss to earn a nice 20k check!

                  With all the rainouts going on it may draw more.

                      Isn't Moyer Jr. running WOO?....If I was Babb, Boggs, or Eddie Carrier I would definitely be in Virginia

                        I was thinking Moyer sr may show. He is smart enough to go where the money is and the fastest competitors aren’t. Be a good chance to steal 20k

                          I didn't know tracks had to schedule certain high paying events to accommodate the Lucas and WoO guys.

                            Moyer is scheduled to be at Farmer City. It is one of his favorite tracks

                              MI dirt fan if they are smart that’s exactly what they would do and if you were smart enough to read between the lines, you would see that’s exactly what they did. Remember, it’s very important to your argument! They did schedule around Lucas and it happens to be a rain makeup week. These promoters are like leaches! They know if Bloomer, JD, Richards, etc etc are going to be in Ohio, that’s exactly where the fans a$$es will be! I can see them talking now. Well Bill I know it’s the world 100 week but I think we should have a 50k to win race the same weekend. Not smart business
