Cade Dillard drops off WOO Late Model Series due to daughters 1st day of school.

He has the date on his schedule.

I’m pretty sure davenport does not get to race at brownstown

Unless they changed it it's 80%.

A.) If a driver that is in the top twelve (12) in point standings misses any event(s), that driver must
make-up total number of missed event(s) before driver is eligible once again for winners circle money

Anyone know what the Lucas rule is on this? They can take time off whenever they want?

To get points fun money you only have to be at 75% of races I believe

Nice to see Cade put his family 1st.

WoO let Jason Sides and James McFadden miss several races this year already. Mcfaddens deal is somewhat understandable. Sides took a whole month off because someone rearended his hauler and the WoO didn't care to keep him on the payroll. Something doesn't add up there? The guy wanted one weekend off to be with his kid. The WoO needs Cade more than he needs the WoO.Even if the sprints and late models are ran by 2 different groups, it still doesn't make it right that they're both under the WRG banner and don't get treated equally. Someone needs to straighten that up.

He didn't even want the weekend off. He just wanted Thursday night. But they know there barely gonna get enough cars tor a full field so they shafted him.

Good on you 97.

The best thing in life I’ll ever be called is dad. That paycheck helps provide for them, but what they need most doesn’t come with a price tag.

Enjoy the walk in. It’s an honor every time.

Sides accident was just that and wasn't any fault of his. I totally understand Cade's situation but there was nothing wrong with him nor his wife or a close relative in the hospital, hauler wasn't broke, & no funeral to attend. When it comes down to it this was his choice and I applaud him for putting family first. I think you have to understand both sides of the situation. Could he have made it there yes. Did he choose to go no.
Now down the road WOO could add some provisions and have those listed under the hardship rules going forward.
To me the championship money thing is stupid. I think he should still get paid for his points finishing position.
Davenport missed a few races in Lucas because he chose to race at Bristol instead of Atomic & Brownstown.

Them not having a hauler is a poor excuse. You can't tell me if they really wanted to race, they wouldn't have leased, rented, or borrowed one. I can see giving them a pass for a weekend, not a month.

Davenport hasn’t missed a race. He was at atomic, and he gets to run at brownstown in September’s re scheduled race.

I get where you're going with your post, but there's a couple things you mentioned that aren't accurate from my perspective.

The first being that, paraphrasing, we get paid for taking off work for stuff with our kids. There's a large segment of the population where that simply isn't true. Consider yourself fortunate if you have that benefit.

The second, unless their rules changed, every driver should've been aware of the consequences of this type of circumstance. I don't see it as " having money stolen".

It certainly shines a negative light on WoO, especially with how Cade expressed his perspective. I wouldn't be surprised for a rule change as you mentioned.

I understand everyone’s employment situation is different, but a lot of places now allow you to accrue time immediately, so that you have a paid day built up every six weeks. But again, I know everyone’s not in the same situation. As for the money stolen part, he’s earned his spot in the points. To take that away from him for missing one race, just seems extremely harsh.

Things like this tend to remind drivers that following a tour isn’t the be all end all in dirt late model racing, especially when you have a family.
