If attending a race depends on ONE driver being there than your really not that much of a fan of the sport.

Yes, when it comes down to me paying 40 to 50 dollars. If Larson isn't in attendance I will NOT be in attendance either! I cannot justify spending that much money when the best of the best are not there. Sorry not sorry!

Larson is a generational talent, but we have to remember he has a tough time choosing between the Port and their superior surface vs. wherever Larson is racing..

It's a casual fan thing. It is a demographic that's is being targeted obviously.

+1 I would generally consider myself a fan, but until he's driving sprint cars full time I don't really care what he's doing.

Looks like the usual crying and whining and saltiness from the Outlaw fanboys about a competing series. More money for teams is not a bad thing, no matter how the WoO fanboys try to spin it on here.

I don't see the negatives yet to giving the 5-10 car owners more money. IMO what would really be telling is what the purses and season points will be for these drivers not franchises or chartered. If it's the same then or better how can that be negative.
The WOO will be forced to step up.
I'm more on the side of not changing things, so I''d like to see the WOO succeed, however IDK if they have the financial backing to compete with this.
After listening to Jeremy Elliots interview with Sweet, I think we'll hear more details about the non franchised drivers in the next few months.

Of course more money for the teams is good. I'm questioning how good this is for the fans. DirtVision used to be a decent value for the money. Tune in to one streaming service and see all the best drivers in sprint car racing. Now I'm paying the same money but I'm not seeing some of them. How much longer will I do that? I'm definetly not going back to Flo Racing for sure, so that puts this fan spending his money somewhere else...

I cancelled my Dirt Vision and have kept Flo because I get to see all the Sprint Car racing I want plus lots of other Motor Sports. Don't get me wrong I like the Outlaws and have my favorite Drivers in that series. I just think DV is way to expensive. I may PPV the final night at the Nationals and that will be all the money DV gets from me. Different strokes for different folks, for me I find more value in Flo...
The older I get the faster I was

Wait a sec...
I thought the High Limit drivers could still race WoO races- if they wanted too, all that freedom and such.

So High Limit drivers have the freedom to run the entire WoO schedule and still be High Limit drivers? Interesting

Of the High Limit Drivers who has ran the full tour with the WOO?
I'm not trying to get into a pissing match, but you essentially have the same drivers on the tour, minus one or two.
And according to Sweet, they want to give their drivers the freedom to race wherever they want.

Agreed, they will never get over themselves. change is good for the sport. if you want the franchise you step up your game, pretty easy to understand...
Ascot was the greatest of all time..
West Capital wasn't half bad either..
Life is good...

Totally agree. There certainly aren't high limit "fanboys" spinning things or spewing negativity towards the outlaws...

I got Dirtvision the past couple years for Knoxville and Husets weekly and would watch big Outlaw races like Husets, Knoxville and Eldora but would be fine with just hilites. My opinion is that those two weekly shows are joined at the hip with $300 price point being driven by having the Outlaws. I would love it if there was a lower price that included Knoxville and Husets without the Outlaws at a more reasonable price. I'd love to still have it all but I can't do their $300 after spending several thousand to meet the deductible for the chemo drug I have been taking. I got caught by paying part of it last year then it reset to zero on 1/1/25.
Too bad they don't have pricing for weekly tracks that doesn't include rhe Outlaws. My obsession with national series does not run that deep. I have Flo only this year and can watch IRA and one of our own from this area who will be running Silver Crown. Rob Caho Jr. from up by North Branch. He runs some Sprint stuff as well.
There is a lot of racing besides the touring stuff.
As far as the charter goes that is still a carrot at the end of a stick until the first check is cut. What happens if Flo takes a hit and pulls out before any money is paid?

Competition is a good thing, not a bad thing. Are you Outlaw fanboys hiding under the bed in terror and anger at the thought of competition or more teams making money? God forbid more teams and drivers make good money.
There is only one side on here that is against more teams or drivers making good money,
