Guess I'll start the offseason off with seeing who would be on the tour next year....

Pittman

Schatz

McMahan

Saldana

S.Kinser

K.Kinser

Swindell

Darrah

Sides ?

Madsen ?

Dollansky ?

Kemenah ?

Gravel ?

Could we see Jason Johnson swing over in the Stenhouse Racing to the WoO in 2014?

Im sure we'll see Shane Stewart race quite a bit with the Outlaws in his new Larson/Marks ride.

How much will Dollansky race with them next year?

Will Sides commit again? Same with Kemenah? 

Proudly supports:

Logan Seavey, Brent Marks and "Big Sexy" Brandon Overton

Could we see Tim Kaeding race more with the Outlaws in 2014?

Didn't Bobby Allen say his two grandkids are confirmed for the tour next year. 

Keep It Real

Rose ?

I just heard a rumor that Saldana and Motter have agreed too split, anyone know if this is true?

Kemenah should do the All Star tour next year.  It would be pretty much him versus Blaney all year.

Kemenah has done a lot with very limited funds I would love to see him get a sponsor that would allow him to have a complete team from start to finish.

I agree...the concussion in California did not help either.  Definitely a guy who could do a lot with just a little more help.

I'm hearing Dollansky in the 71M.

Kemenah will not be on the Outlaw Tour, nor will Bill Rose. Logan Schuchart and Jacob Allen will be. I would expect TK to go full time.

Madsen and Sides will also be back on Tour in 2014.

christtofer bell will be in the holbrook call  no 83  next year running allstars parttime and usac midgets the kid is the next  kyle larson

Jim Perricone also running the tour. 

This surprises me some cause at the World Finals I thought they announced Saldana will be running the car next year so this would be a quick turn around, but I guess anything can happen

I think they announced he plans to run about 20 Outlaw races next year.

Sweet 2014 champ.

Minnesota connection

TK should be running full time in 2014. Steve Kinser could retire, Shane Stewart to run half the tour, Will Jason Johnson run the woo tour like he said they were? Will Rico run the full Outlaw tour?

Who has the early WoO 2014 schedule? Saw it on here a week or so ago, but can't find it.

Bare with me, this is my first official post.
2014 WoO

Schuchart

Allen

Pittman

Schatz

Swindell

Kinser's

Dollansky = he will get sponsorship

Madsen

Sides

Saldana

Rose = don't see how

Kemenah = ???

Darrah

McMahan

S. Stewart = 50-60 races

J. Perricone = 20 races (Big Races)

Gravel = does he have $$$$, BWW 82??

Guys that Should be on tour but prolly won't

T. Schaffer = I said it..... give this guy some money and equipment watch out

Blaney = Older.... very good

B. Brown = argueably the best driver in the country...top 3

J. Johnson = 4 ASCS National Tour Championships in a row.... Granted its ASCS and a 360 but still

B. Sweet = NASCAR... would be great on tour... he should of won all four races at Eldora this past year, not just the King's Royal

The Dude = old and cranky

Greg Hodnett = should be on tour.... once again $$$

Kaeding = hothead.... will Roth let him??

R. Abreau = can for sure afford it does he want it???

I could keep going on to name more and more drivers but will stop here. 410 sprint car racing may be the healthiest it has ever been since I can remember. Granted I am only 30 years old but I have been watching sprint cars since I was like three. My point is for many of these guys, by that I mean most of them, it is not worth it to run the WoO tour... I REPEAT, IT IS NOT WORTH IT TO RUN THE FULL TOUR FOR POINTS. In 2013 the Outlaws got 75 shows in from February til this past weekend, 10 or so rainouts. In the late 90's early 2000's they were running 100-120. So less races..... A regular WoO purse has not gone up since the 90's. Still same old $10,000 to win. For the last twent years??? Naturally we all know this arguement 20 years later same purses, fewer races, higher costs = failing tour. Now my huge gripe.

Daryn Pittman just won $150,000 for the title, in 1998 the point champ got $180,000. Yes thats right. The World Racing Group has STP as a title sponsor..... Sells out every race all across the country at 30-35 bucks a pop and from what i understand sanctioning fees are ridiculous for local racetracks. Where does all this money go? They haven't raised any purses or the points fund in sometime, granted I understand costs but cmon guys... If I were a racer or owener, I would race with Outlaws from May til Knoxville, much like Kaeding did this past year... It's really not worth it money wise from a owner stand point..... Thats all for now....... lets hear your opinions
