WoO tour thinning out again

[thexfactor0210]

As with with every year we get so many guys saying they will run the national tours for the first time and they dont make it to May. Looks like Jackson, Brezeale, Bailes, and Scott are no shows at Farmer City.

Only one I would assume that would stay on the entire season would be Bailes. Currently it's on their website and don't see anywhere saying they weren't coming.

Bailes at Friendship for Carolina Clash tonight.

No reason to drive all the way to Illinois with the current gas prices if you can race near home in the Carolinas.

Fly boy. Your actually Reuben in disguise ? Right

If these guys are gonna drop off the tour before Easter I wish they'd stop releasing press statements telling us they are gonna run the whole thing. It's pretentious and annoying.

[Pennsboro32]

Bailes is the only surprising one to me. But he’s still probably better off running regionally down south.

Drive all the way to Illinois for a couple nights ? No other races in the series in that area. Bristol dirt next week? It’s financially stupid to make that trip for most of the teams that do not live within a few hours of the place. It’s not like water in gas tanks will get you there. You need big time gas money.

You would think for teams that have $200k+ rigs diesel prices really wouldn't be one of their primary concerns. That's the equivalent of people with $100k+ campers complaining about tracks charging for camping.

They don't own those rigs. The bank does. They carry 20 year notes. 6mpg adds up quickly.

How expensive is diesel. $2.77 here. Didn't stop guys like Madden, Spencer, Eckert, Allen Murray, Dillard, Albertson, Bronson and a couple others coming from long distance. Atleast 4-5 of them aren't even running for WoO points.

I just think they didn’t want an Illinois a$$ whipping lol. This state isn’t good for much but late model racing is a highlight.

Eighth-starting Tony Jackson Jr. racing close to home crossed the finish line in second last night at Poplar Bluff Missouri in the Comp Cams tour.

It’s well over $3 a gallon in most of the Midwest

Exactly. I’m so sick of seeing drivers complain about fuel prices on social media. Maybe they are in the wrong line of work. Get a desk job. I’m looking at you BMJ.
