That #23 car and Tanner Holmes would be perfect, heavy regional with some HL and WOO and he has a lot of sponsors. And he wouldn't have to relocate his team to the midwest I think the big question of the USAC Westcoast swing is how many races will Buddy win. His midget and sprint experience at all the remaining tracks and back with KKM will have a few wins. My guess is at least a win at one of the Merced races and Bakersfield
The Xtreme Outlaw schedule dropped yesterday, and with it brings the season opener to the Illini 100 weekend instead of DuQuoin, a Memorial Day special at Garden City, KS, and a season finale shift to Millbridge around the time of World Finals.
The way that Carter alluded to having oversaturation issues in CA following High Limit, I was expecting the WoO west coast swing might look different or shift timeframes.
The WoO's Wednesday, June 4th date at Jackson is kind of interesting. They are at Knoxville immediately following that and then straight to the High Bank Nationals so the June 3rd and 4th weekend likely has them in Wisconsin like in the past - but this is exactly when High Limit is also in Wisconsin. Maybe some High Limit teams will show up in Jackson, but what will a possible Beaver Dam race look like if both series are racing in the same area on the same nights?
Cost of super late models will kill more dirt late model series as they are not paying enough to support the drivers so those h guys figured to be cheaper in super lates.
As someone who has followed MLRA from close to the beginning I can say the prestige of the series and marketing has been slowly slipping since Lucas bought it. I’d say the last 3 years the series has been an total afterthought for Lucas with all energy and $$ going to the National series. I’d be interested to know what the payout would need to be to keep guys like the Simpsons regional. I’d guess something like HTF is paying. Not exactly Supers but the SLMR guys put on a great show especially on 3/8 or smaller tracks.
I wouldn't consider Lucas Oil and WOO latemodels National tours anymore when 90% of their races or either in the Midwest or Northeast now very few in the Southeast and none out west . The only thing National about them is their sponsors and they pay bigger money. They run at fewer tracks now with 2 and 3 day shows instead of 2 or 3 different tracks a weekend. I understand it makes since for the teams traveling . They need to have a Southeast series and a Midwest series and come together for big events then have a 8 race joint schedule to determine the national points champion
The problem with the mlra is it shares the same sponsor name as the bigger series. Id be surprised if the car count is the biggest issue. Id sooner think they're not filling the stands like they should. And tracks wont be willing to keep bringing them back if they cant make any profit from them. Simply because its not all the big names that fans want to see . JMO..
Can’t wait for the WoO sprint car schedule. Thanks Justin!

Tanner should run a full Narc season.....imo

Great Show! Thanks!
No Justin you are telling the truth people need had better start listening to you more often!

We just need 410 sprints back at Ohsweken speedway in Ontario Canada
Gotta make it worth it for drivers/teams maybe a 25k race
Ohsweken speedway woo dates may 14th and 15th 2025
Wow no comment on XR pulling the plug on the Gobbler ?
Assuming it missed the cut time wise today and will be covered tomorrow or onwards

Not going to happen. High Limit is in Wisconsin the 3rd and 4th of June.. Except for 2024. Beaver Dam weekend usually falls on father's day weekend.
Just wondering when/if you plan on refilling the merch store!
IMO, the companion races with LOLMDS hurt the MLRA. It sucks to see that series go away.

I hate the direction of DLM turning into Nascar 2.0 which isnt good at all@@michaelolenick4078
Bad weather!!
I thought the schedule was coming Thursday?
JJR41 has all but confirmed! Carson has been on record talking about running the outlaw tour with his brother

where can you put a bet down on thorson? all i found was the nxt site and he was not listed.
USAC had the odds on their social media channels. I know DraftKings has the odds, I'm guessing you can bet there too.
@@DIRTRACKR I’ll check it out.
Put Zeb in that 23 car
C-mac?? On my way

I thought Devon was taking the year off?. Maybe I'am wrong.😮
Ray Allen Kulhanek 6 time ASCS Gulf South champion could shoe it. He may also be available. Aaron Ruetzel came from there & didn't outdrive him.

6500 to 1 ? A tad more than 650.00
+6500 is not 6500 to 1.
Just killing the top regional series in the Midwest when it comes to open late model racing.. but yeah shouldn’t be to big of a hit…
Nobody said this.
@@DIRTRACKR not you brother, guess that seemed directed. Just in general. Not the best news for the Midwest.
I did and he didn't respond 🥲🥲
