Breakdown of WoO Expected Drivers

[Snake X3]

Kevin Kovac did a nice piece on each driver that has committed to WoO for the 2023 season. It was very fair assessment and gives a nice overview of the drivers. Worth a read if you have the subscription.

Anything Kovac writes is excellent reading/info. He was an editor for racing papers/magazines long before the internet. His penmanship is spot-on.

Is the fact WoO has 21 signed drivers now an indictment on the Lucas Oil series chase format?

i think its a totally an indictment imo. the funny thing the LOLMDS chase format is totally different than NASCAR.

I dont think its the Lucas format as much as it's not racing against arguably the 3 strongest teams in McCreadie, Davenport and O'Neal - Plus Moran, Terbo and Thornton.

I know WoO has the quantity but Ill take the Lucas teams. No way WoO can keep that many on the road, too many will need Provisionals.

I hate the Lucas deal, but I'm still not going to say that's really it. I think it's more the woo bonus points deal and they started racing first. Woo forced you to pledge early, if there's even a 10% chance you will run with them.

Yep, look at the headstart a little cash got these guys.....pretty obvious who paid the piper.

How about it ? ? The guy who wins the so called 1st race of the season gets regulated to 24th in the season points and 2nd place is in 25th place ? ?

Who cares? They aren't running the series, you can't get points money if you don't run all of the races anyways. Is going to tarnish t-macs legacy cause he was 25th in points on the opposite tour on January 20th?

Speaking of “gimmicks”- WOO has re-written the book on this one!

[Raceready]

^ I agree ! It is like " Our series faltered last year compared to Lucas so we will bribe drivers with free points to try to right our ship " ? ?

[Snake X3]

I don't know. Whatever works to get WoO a better lineup. You have to give them credit for trying. They've got a bunch of decent drivers this year with Madden, Pierce and B-shep and some good non-title contenders as well. It's good for the sport. They aren't Lucas, but.....

I really question if Pierce will run WoO after Volusia. Especially after last nights finish.

I read he had mechanical issues. He'll be okay. I hope he stays on the tour, but I agree...I have my doubts.
