    Crowl and Eckert done after 2018 per DoD

    I think this will be the end of Rick's WoO touring days. I cannot see anyone else funding his operation.

    Not surprising. Between Eckert and Clanton this year I dunno who's running the worst.

      I feel like he was better when he was in a Longhorn and now that he switched to the Rocket XR1 they have been searching for speed.

        Must be that #5000 Rocket doesn't have the magic.

          He was doing better in the Longhorn but that was before the XR1 chassis really took off.

              He could clean up running regional stuff. I mean his only two wins this season were off the WoO tour close to home.

              Cheddar cheese please.

              P.S

              Extra mayo also 😉😉😉

                He won't be the only one that won't return to WoO full-time after this season. One of the top guys will not be back in '19 either.

                Agree, he could clean house in regional events close to home. Maybe run some summer nats stuff.

                  There is a ton of specials in PA every year. He could run for good to great money basically every weekend and never leave the state, and that doesn’t even take the other stuff that’s in MD and DE that wouldn’t be far for him either.

                    Makes one wonder why some of these guys run a national tour when they could win same amount or more $$ staying closer to home.

                    Actually be $ ahead b/c of the reduced travel cost.

                        Either Marlar or Madden would be my guess

                          I wouldn't be surprised if neither of them returned.

                            WOO in general is really getting thin on the full-time touring front. Only 10 currently.

                              Their are a lot of perks or reasons to run a tour vs race regionally show up money and pit passes for one. It doesn't take but a few rough nights or sub par finishes racing locally before the budget wears thin. The average regional show pays less than 500 to start. With their tow money and other incentives i believe the average outlaw guy makes close to 2000 a night regardless of where or if he finishes the race. Their is also alot more product help when you run a series. And believe me when i say I'm not trying to make it sound like one is easier than the other becuase without that help i speak of we wouldn't have 2 competitive series with 8-10+ guys dragging their stuff all over the country for us to watch
