Lucas Oil and WoO Rosters

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Speaking of ol bloomer, i wonder how well he going start off at speedweeks. Since all eyes really was on rumley and jd last season. What did he do to his car to catch up with jd? Will he have the upper hand since all talk was on rumley and jd? And also what about madden, will his set up from last part of the season be approved by lucas and woo?

Everything is OK by WoO, at this point. If Madden had something different, it is a no go with Lucas. Hell, a lot of normal stuff isn't allowed anymore.

According to his interview on DoD yesterday (definitely worth a listen), sounds like Mike Marlar is going to follow the Lucas tour at least through the Show Me.

I went ahead and updated the list based on the following information:

T-Mac to LOLMDS based on the DoD Interview about EPJ (one of the ten things worth mentioning).
Mike Marlar to LOLMDS based on DoD Interview with Mike Marlar (Thanks LMPunk for the info)

Lucas Oil this year has more talent than any series has ever had before in one season.

They do have a very impressive roster. At this point there are a couple cars that wouldn't even be earning points money, and I'm not sure who because they are all legitimate contenders. At least half of the cars on that list have a VERY GOOD chance of winning the points championship.

Thanks,

If I was erb I would think about running the summer nationals... too many heavy hitters in Lucas for him to finish very high in the points

There are a bunch of drivers for whom running the LOLMDS does not really make sense. Of course Erb is one of them, along with Carrier, Moran, and even T-Mac. They all have very good shots at picking up some wins but against the competition on the LOLMDS there will be drivers like Owens, Lanigan, and Pearson who will be struggling to get a few wins this season. The WoO really does seem like a better option for them, those four drivers mentioned would all be top 5 in the WoO.

Thanks,

T-Mac can't compete with the Lucas drivers?

I think he can now but well have to see. He couldnt with his old cars but this yr might b a different story. Definatally going to be twice as tough as woo.

A few of these guys are going to be very disappointed real quick. Not saying some aren't capable of winning a couple races but with the type of talent on tour this year, wins will be hard to come by.

I'm surprised Tmac is deciding to run Lucas. I'm starting to think they're paying these guys money to run the tour besides purse and tow money. Little something under the table

I don't know if he has any plans to follow the entire Lucas Oil tour this year, but Randy Weaver has all of the February Races for the LODLMS listed on his schedule.

Every season going into the WoO series T-Mac didn't have great odds of winning the championship, he had a chance but most people wouldn't have bet on him, that was with three or so top tier drivers (Richards, Lanigan, and Clanton). Now, he is going to race with the LOLMDS which has Davenport, Bloomquist, Owens, Pearson, ONeal, Sheppard, Lanigan, etc. T-Mac isn't going to be a perennial lapped car all season but he most certainly is going to be lucky to finish in the top 6 or 7 in points. Switching from Rocket to Longhorn isn't going to turn him into a super star overnight.

Thanks,
Jeff.

Ok.....................

But his chassis change will most certainly help

[mccreadiefan39]

Trust me

If Tim McCreadie didn't think he had a chance HE WOULD RETIRE

I love the move to Lucas because the money on the Lucas tour is so much greater this year plus he can still hit the 4 major WoO events (Firecracker, PDC, USA Nat'ls and World Finals)
