After 2 races, which drivers do you think will drop off of Lucas Tour ?
Stormy Scott needs to stick with USMTS. They have something like 46 races this year with all paying $5000 To Win or more. Also all USMTS cars with perfect attendance all year get over $10,000 guaranteed for the year which isn't much but it's something.
Stormy has a bankroll behind him, it's going to be more about performance than money for him to decide to go back to modifieds. I think they are looking for a new challenge, competition and tracks and will stick with it.

Stormy Scott doesn't have a need for $. His biggest worry is his crew chief wanting to race.
This conversation might be more telling after East Bay and Ocala. Stormy was particularly disappointing, shows that the chassis brand doesn’t automatically make you a winner. The whole Scott brother deal is interesting. Johnny had a career year in mods last year, and he quits. Johnny was mentioned as crew chief during than broadcasts more than once but I didn’t see him while Stormy’s car was in pit lane, which was frequent. This is a tough circuit to break in to, period!
Look I know Stormy has all the money backing. It doesn't matter, they have no clue and have had a ton of help. He'll finish 10th or so as soon as Speedweeks are over and there's only 24 cars entered. I wouldn't be surprised if Stormy and Johnny have 4 modifieds sitting in the shop ready to go. I'm sure they will run the Big USMTS shows when they can.
Buckingham made the show both nights. I dont see why he should drop off. A few of the other guys mentioned in here didn't pull that off. I'd say he is pleased to have done that. He's not committed to the full deal anyway
TBH, I think this conversation a little pre mature.
Brandon Overton— it was mentioned during the broadcast that he *might* stick with Lucas for awhile.
Ryan King and Buckingham are the highest in points among the so called rookies at this point. Last year Mason Ziegler was buried pretty deep after speedweeks and he ended up winning the RoY title.
