World Finals Entry List

[Catfish N Rice 11]

Charlotte doesn't make a lot of financial sense for most racers really. It's pretty much 12,000 to win crown jewel races. Plus that place eats the tires when the sprint cars are there and get it shined up. Great deal for the fans, but could be better for the drivers

Agreed, they go through a set of tires for every heat and feature. So if you make every race youll ruin quite a few tires.

Thanks Jeff for the quick response!

Can't wait till Friday & Saturday, my favorite Race Weekend of the year!!

Almost all the National Touring guys, Regional drivers from pretty much every Region represented along with the Local Carolinas Contingent. That makes for a Great Field of cars.

And as the above post referred to, it is like 2 Crown Jewel Races. As a race fan, in particular Dirt LM Racing, it doesn't get much better. Plus, I get to see the other 2 classes of Big Time Dirt Racing and get to Party with their fan bases, which is always a Blast!!

Keep listing who you know is headed to Charlotte. Seems like every year there are 40 cars listed but 70ish always show in Late Models.

And it all takes place just a little over an hour from home.

Charlotte is on Austin Hubbard's schedule on his website.

I believe $12,000 to win on Friday and Saturday. Thursday is just time trials.

Thanks,
Jeff.

BBM heats are ran thurs also

BBM heats are ran thurs also

Yes they are. I think he was initially just referring to the Super Late Model payouts so I mentioned the payouts for Friday and Saturday and that they were just doing time trials on Thursday (so no payout). The BBMs are pretty much the only reason I bother to go on Thursday as watching time trials all night would not be very entertaining -- although it is nice to be able to walk around the pit area on Thursday.

Thanks,
Jeff.

Yes I understand. That was incase someone didnt know what else was going on thurs. good day to wander in pits then watch a full card of mod heats along w other mentioned

Anyone hear anything on Casey Roberts racing? I think his WoO suspension is over. Seeing the first race with Casey and Josh since the throw down would be worth the price of admission on it's own! LOL

[Barbecueboy]

Woo suspension lifted quite some time ago after his appeal if not mistaken.

Some are just unhappy people. They are unhappy if Bobby comes, they're unhappy if he don't. They would probably be unhappy if he stayed home and sent beer and dancing girls for all.

I wouldn't be unhappy at all if he did that.......just sayin.

Friesens interview on slingin dirt said he was planning on running his wife car if they got some sponsorships otherwise he thought he had another ride lined up...

Looks like he will be there in both mod and sprint. I seen he posted a pic of the sprint about an hour ago, said he was ready to let'er rip.

Here is my take on Bobby Pierce. I think if you want to be for real in the Late model business, you need to run with the big dogs. I get that he has had some success at the Big E. Why not branch out a bit to see how you stack up against the Bloomers or the Davenports at different tracks. UMP summer nationals is just that. It may be a grind but so is the Lucas Tour and the WOO. The UMP thing and the Summer Nationals is kind of not a big deal anymore!

I will say this, I have seen him race a few times and he really does not impress the heck out of me. I never seen him win a big race yet. I saw him get 2nd to Jimmy Owens at The USA Nationals Cedar Lake Speedway a few years ago. But as much fanfare that he has it really is amazing especially for not winning a big crown jewel. Everyone talks about how cool the world finals are and that race should pay better. But a lot of drivers will tell you that they would like to win that race.
