Allstars have been sold! Hint, Smoke will be rising

If stewart bought the all-stars that would be confusing. would Schatz run all stars or WoO

Highly doubt it. All Stars would be considered more of a regional series and WoO are a national series pretty much. Most people in this area have been rumoring about TSR buying the All Stars for years now. I doubt he would take the All Stars national and compete with the Outlaws.

Why would it be confusing..... All-Stars are a regional tour with a limited number of dates that pay...for the most part $5000 to win.

WoO is a national tour that runs all year with 92 dates. 

The All-Stars have always coexisted with and for the most part supported the Outlaws, and vice versa...(like the races at Volusia).  They are not competing series.  Schatz is not going to run a regional tour for 30-35 races. 

I don't know if this rumor is true or not, but it has very little if anything to do with where Schatz would run.

I just wish we could get the suspense over with...who owns the darn thing now anyway?

If I was to guess I would say UNOH they still the sponsor

 If this is true.  the Stewart name brings respect back to the All Star name! It would be nothing but a plus for the series, jmo

Reading between the lines , it would appear that the All Stars  were sold but to who or  is a partner with Mr. Webb who is still involved. A press release lately indicates they are still full speed ahead especially now that the Florida races are around the corner. It would do them good to release who the new partner or actual owner is . For now the drivers who go to Florida will  race with the All Stars , but when they come north will be another story . But these splits are not good for
sprint car racing.  The group that brings the cars will win the battle , as promoters want or need the cars and the name drivers to bring the fans who want to see good competitive racing.

Winged nation sent a tweet a couple days ago that said "BREAKING:multiple sources reporting drivers & teams being notified of efforts to reunify under All-Star banner with prominent new ownership." My theory which means nothing and i could be 100% wrong but I kind of take this to mean that they are looking for a way to end this whole battle between the two sides and come together as one. Might be hard but it probably is a start to settle all of the issues going on in Ohio. If its Tony Stewart, Kasey, Sterling Marlin or Joe Shmo hopefully they can settle the dispute now and bring everyone together.

Hearing on pitgate.com that Tony Stewart is the new owner of the All Stars, and the Renegades are working with him to merge.

This would be great, as long as they take care of the tracks that supported the Renegades through this thing.

I guess this makes sense...Tony was part of the group that tried to break away from the Outlaws....so, maybe he still has interest in promoting, owning a sprint car club. Obviously Tony brings a big name and tons of experience being a driver, team owner, race fan and a promoter/ track owner. I would think this is good for the All Stars/ Renegades and good for the sport. I hope this is true. 

If this is true.  There are 15 tracks that have dates that are going to be effected with 13 race dates that are the same. 

Atomic, Lernerville, Mercer, Hilltop, Plymouth, Fremont, PPMS, Selingsrove, Butler, Brownstown, Moler, Wayne County, Millstream, Wilmont and Brush Creek.

1) STP exercised its early opt-out with the WoO;

2) Tony Stewart now rumored to be the new owner of the ASCoC;

3) it is "silly season" after all 

There is no replacement for cubic displacement 

 Tony Stewart brings credibility here. he is a great  money mind. honest . does not make promises he can't keep  and if there is a merger, this will make 410 sprints in eastern midwest stronger, Much stronger! 410 sprint car racing i think is going to be amazing next year.

It is a best case scenario and I feel all along the Renegade guys didn't want to destroy the All Stars, just the guy running it. He wouldn't sell it to them so they had to do things the hard way. The turning point was when Attica backed the Renegades

With STP leaving the Outlaws, the same STP that sponsored at least one of Tony's sprint cars, is there a possibility it might become the STP Renegade All Star Circuit of Champions?

Tony Stewart's All Star Renegades. Innaugural race Canandaigua New York.

I posed this question a few days ago and it was shot down by dsc1600 who always has insider info...

Lincoln 1845 ft/.35 mile T1=118MPH 
Eldora 2287 ft/.43mile T3=135MPH
Port 2716 ft/.51 mile T3=TBD
Grove 2792 ft/.53 mile T3=135MPH
Selinsgrove 2847 ft/.54 mile T1=136MPH

weather." Van May

Its going to be The All Star Circuit of Champions IMO. The Renegade name will go away, and everyone will live happily ever after.

What should i do with my "Renegades" hoodie and t-shirt if they disappear?  Guess i will have a couple collectors items.
