ASCoC lineup is coming together with a couple nice pickups this week. So far these are the drivers I've seen that will be following the tour: Corey Eliason, Ian Madsen, Bill Balog, Tyler Courtney, Hunter Schuerenberg, Justin Peck, and TJ Michael. I'd assume a good chance Wilson and Gee will run again. Not bad after losing Reutzal to the WoO.

Last one to leave non-wang land,,, turn out the lights. 

Can you say MO money. Central PA raisin purses there ain't goin 2 b 2 many following the ascoc

And we raised our purses. 53 of the 59 races pay a minimum of $6,000 to win and a points fund that exceeds $250,000.  Good to see for the health of sprint car racing.  We have 9 teams committed now and a few outstanding teams that will announce in the coming weeks. 

Saphead good one. ��

That is a good thing but you have to keep in mind that many

of your highest paying races are in Pa. Many of the unsanctioned races at the Grove, Lincoln and Port will pay better than a lot of All-Star shows. Where you gain most is with the point fund but it costs a lot of money to be on the road.

Blake Anderson.  It's great to see the purses coming up in the series. Although the factor of being on the road is huge today. Sure guys can market we can give you a wider exposure for your dollar. But, those dollars are getting harder to come by. Both series are dependent on the local and regional racers to fill the fields. I think pa has reclaimed the title sprint car capital. Lots of money going to be available and you may not need to cross a state line. The Tuscarora and the National open should be the place to race this year. 

More money for the WoO, All Stars, and Posse in 2021. 2 Kings Royals. 

Weather and COVID permitting, this will be the best year for sprint cars in a long time. 

The good thing is, it's not just a couple of races with better purses, virtually every race the WoO, All Stars or Williams Grove runs will pay more money than they did in previous years. 

I can understand the $$$ issue, but its a shame Tyler Courtney is de-emphasizing his wingless stuff. He was one of the very best at that, still learning with the wing...

Solid lineup as always from the All Stars. Generally most of the drivers make it to all of the Ohio shows and the fields a majority of the time are 40+ to 50cars. I think it will be a little more competitive this year with Reutzel off of the tour. All Stars seem to take little steps each year for the racers of the series whether it is contingency awards, point fund money, scheduling, and this year more money per show. Really like their schedule this year as well as generally I get to a majority of the races in Ohio. They keep improving the series each year it seems.

I really think TC will be a stud in a winged car, as early as next season even. Dude was great for the limited amount of time he'd had in the seat prior to this year. Feel like he's got a long-term chance to be a top national runner with WoO. He really impressed me a ton in 2020.

We'll see....

Maybe, just maybe, with Kyle Larson back on pavement, some of our good PA money might just stay in PA next year - some

Great to see purses on the rise across the board.  Bodes well for the health of the sport.  As a whole, we are absolutely trending the right direction. 

Kyle Reinhardt going full time ASCOC. Not exactly posse but Port Royal loses a regular. I wouldn't sleep on him winning a couple. Dude has talent, just needs to find the consistency. 

Add Lucas Wolfe in the 07. Thats now 11 teams planning on running full time: Eliason, Ian Madsen, Gee, Peck, Schurenburg, TJ Michael, Zach Hampton, Courtney, Balog, Reinhardt, and now Wolfe. 

I am confused. I thought Bill Balog was slated to run the Coldren #07 with the All Stars, now I see Lucas Wolfe is in the #07...Did something change, or is Balog now running hjs own #17 with the All Stars or is it a two car effort with Coldren?

It was first reported lucas was putting his own deal together to run pa this will be interesting to see what unfolds

When the announcement about Balog was made on 12/20 it was stated that he's running the B Squared Motorsports car.

Signature here.

Correct, Jake. Bill in the 17 and Lucas now driving the Coldren 07.
