Crowl and Eckert done after 2018 per DoD

[racincowboy02]

Do you think they could jump to the Lucas series next year or just done with the national touring aspect all together

J king and bayko. I agree with both of you. Eckert could run around Pa, Md, De. and do very well for himself. But, j king hit it also. He will be giving up his pit passes and tow money. Question is will he want to do that ? Look at chubzilla! He basically said the hell with it and I don't think he has run as many local shows as many thought he would. And yes, I may be wrong on that because you just don't hear his name mentioned.

"all over the country" that's an exaggeration. Maybe the sprint guys but NOT the LM guys.

Chub hasn’t run a whole lot but nobody in PA has. Rain has been a real PIA this year up here.

Eckert just hasn't ever been the same since the Raye Vest ride. Glad to see that he's been able to stick with it but sucks to see his success slowly drop over the last decade. Was always one of my favs to watch and root for. Loved the orange 24 look and Rick was a super nice approachable guy. Remember talking to him for over an hour in the pits one time at the first ever World Finals at Charlotte Dirt Track. Hope he's able to find success again. The Dork from York will always be one of my favorites.

Realistic chance 1/2 the top ten aren't back next year.

There will be guys that fill the void, there always is.

There is a better chance of Lucas drivers crossing over to fill open WoO spots than having regional teams step up and run a touring series in my opinion. But with that being said, the WoO schedule is inferior to the Lucas schedule, they have more big shows and more TV exposure than WoO does.

The WoO will be in trouble if they lose 4-5 drivers this off-season.

No doubt about it. My comment was just about the current top 10.

You'll see a couple lucas guys cross over next year. I believe Owens was real close to running WoO this year but ended up back with Lucas.

And maybe Bloomquist this past year also....

Heck they almost had Erb too. I remember talking to him after the dream and said I gave it some serious thought but Lucas has been great to me and the rest of the series driver. Plus the sponsors like the exposer they get.
