pretty exciting line up already. I would pay to see those 5 and whoever else shows up. Hard to say who will be the 1st champion. 

Yes it would be hard to pick just from those 5, hope GrandForks River cities speedway grabs a show.  I'd be glad to pay an extra $12 to $15 for it.  What a great deal for midwesterner drivers.  Mr. Quiring (spelling) definitely speaks with his pocketbook  as well as his mouth now grabbing Jackson Speedway too.  Gawd do we need a lot of people like him in love with this wild sport to open their bank accounts. 

Lawlessness + liberalism = HELL -  NYC, Detroit, Chicago, 
Seattle, LA  Who the H runs those cities. 

Any speculation as to who else maybe be doing the full schedule? The series is said to be able to support about 10 full-time teams. The rest of the top Knoxville guys have day jobs, so I'm wondering how many other teams could realisticly become full time race operations. Loyet, J.Johnson, J. Swindell, Herrera, C. Wood all come to mind, but I think of those guys as primarilly ASCS drivers. Who else could do it? Thoughts?

"They'll learn." 

I would have to think the #13 would run this series.  I think it all depends how much the point fund pays for drivers 6-10 and beyond and how many races you have to run... 100% or 80%, etc.  I could see a guy like Lynton Jeffrey trying to do it.  Maybe Davey Heskin.  Justin Henderson.  Wayne Johnson.  Brooke Tatnell.  Would love to see Balog run this series, but considering it's not going into Wisconsin at all this is probably too much for that team.

it will be interesting to see who joins in the next few months. 

Heard at the IRA banquet Balog wants to do NSL but has no crew that can support the schedule and he is looking for crew guys for 2015.

They may have more sign up as long as they don't schedule against other "major" events in the US.  They need to reconcider their October date against the 3 day event at Williamsgrove,Pa.

"You will never know it was your "Day" until it's over"

I'm willing to bet that there are more drivers excited to have a high paying event in their back yard than there are drivers disappointed that they now have to miss the National Open. 

Even with the NSL coming onto the scene in 2015 it's still going to come down to how much racing car owners and sponsors are able to support.  If some are working full time they're going to have to be able to take time off to make some of these races and their help will have to be able to do the same.  The NSL is a good deal but the people backing these individual drivers will still have to take it up a notch from running weekly tracks and a few specials per season.  The five that were announced weren't really a big surprise in that they already had the funding and were racing for a living.  I think most of us would have been surprised if their names had not shown up on the list.

Tip:

If you schedule a 2 -day event at I80 or Eagle, dont do it on a Husker home game weekend. I am amazed how many times this has happened in the past 10 years with WoO or ASCS and the Sat show is a massive fan count flop. Husker games schedules are out years in advance, why even chance it? Even if we play at 11 most games because we suck, at least 70% that may have gone to the Sat race wont go that night when the Huskers played earlier that day and they dropped $200 to be there. Just avoid it is my advice unless front gate $ is of no importance. Hell, here is Husker FB schedules to the end of 2016 season.

I read in AARN that Paige Polyack and car owner was thinking about running the series..

The Midwest Fall Brawl at I-80 Speedway has alredy been moved to accommodate the WoO at Cedar Lake Wi. This race was the 3rd weekend in september, now the first weekend in october. There is no other time to run it as the Jesse Hockett Memorial is the weekend before at lucas oil speedway in Missouri. These races are far enough apart that they should`nt hurt car counts either place.

You must be thinking of the Jerry Richert sr. Memorial and not the CLS WoO show.  The Outlaws have been coming to CLS late June, early July depending on how the 4th falls for decades.  This year they're running a two day WoO show in July.  The JR SR Memorial is an IRA race.  It's also on the NSL schedule but CLS just released their schedule and it only shows IRA on their version.
