Lucas

[crow]

Chase is dumb. So if you're no good at Eldora you're hosed. Lucas regulars are lucky Davenport isn't running Lucas.

I had heard about this a while back. I've been waiting for this to drop to see the reaction.

[Rajflyboy]

Awful and I really like this series but darn

[foxfire2dirtracing]

Thank you Tireguy17-it’s just that simple!

[Rajflyboy]

Chase formats are gimmicky trash

I agree and SLM dirt racing is already very very popular. No need for the gimmicks. I like this series a bunch. Me no likey the NASCAR playoff stuff

Dirt late model racing is in the shape that nascar was in, in 2005. We’ll have a COT dirt late model in 5 more years, 27 more pages in the rule book, and all of you will still be here crying and still wasting money on DoD subscriptions and pit passes.

King1,

You are probably right. I'll bail, just like I did with Cup racing.

I don't think I've seen more than 5 people across social media platforms say it is a good idea. It even looks like drivers from their own roster don't like it.

How is eliminating driver IN MAY!!! a good thing??? Omg this one takes the cake. This is waaaay worse than nascar. Why don’t we just bring the traveling circus in. One race to decide a championship season?????? This has to be a joke

[Rajflyboy]

Is this possibly due to reduced crowds at tracks in the fall when Football season is on? Is this pushing the changes?

[Just The Tip]

Ugh, this news is disappointing.

How many Lucas races did you attend this year- 2022?

[Tireguy17]

I think too many of you are hating this strictly because it’s what NASCAR does and you hate NASCAR. But…..take a look at the final point standings once:

https://www.lucasdirt.com/standings/2022/19287/1135

Terbo finished 6th in points and almost 900 points behind. I would guess by early August, and the way 39/1 were running, they knew that their title hopes were done. I think we can all say that by early September we were pretty confident the title was T-Mac’s to lose. So if you think with an open mind you will see some positives to this change from a series, track, fan and driver perspective. Only 1 driver will hate it, the point leader and you have issues.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

From my viewpoint: the only people who have a legitimate complaint are the drivers/teams? What are they saying?
I guess we will know come March/April when we see who is running Lucas.
As stated above: If the teams/fans don’t like it- just don’t follow/attend it. WOO is begging for teams& fans!

I’ve heard this was a driving factor for Madden going WoO.
