I've seen this name in results a few times and paid attention cause it's a pretty cool name for a racer. Didnt realize he is a teenager. What does anyone know about him that isnt in the WoO article? 

Predictions,  will he last the season?, how competetive will he be?

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

I've been posting on this message board longer than this kids has been alive. Anyway, like I say when anyone gets married, I give it 6 months tops. 

What kind of funding does he have? To race with the World of Outlaws full time must costs 100,000 thousand dollars if not a million dollars! Some teams people start out racing with the WoO, but eventually drop off due do lack of funding to keep driving around to all of the races. 

Looking forward to the new Golden State King of the 
West series schedule! 

Winged sprintcars = the fastest and most exciting 
racecars on dirt! 

Ha ha. Gio has roy wrapped up good luck Noah 

About 10 years ago a crew member of a team doing maintenance in the Hotel parking lot in Minot said it costs close to 2 million to run the entire WoO schedule. I didnt verify his report just noted it wasnt feasible for many people.

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

Kasey Kane will also be contender for ROY and will have good sponsorship plus showed He has still got the desire to race sprint cars,

with all due respect kasey Isn't near gios level. new

crew chief on board with unlimited backing from kcp will only elevate gio this year 

Noah Gass raced with the IRA for a a little while in 2021, competed in 4 races, won 2 and had 3 top fives.  What I saw was a fearless kid destined for a good career wherever he raced.  I believe it was Scotty Thiel that he had a run in with, or should I say the other way around. That ended up with Thiel getting suspended for a race.  From what I witnessed, the kid is an aggressive gasser, and some in the IRA are not used to that, or just didn't appreciate a newbie coming in and kicking their asses

Gio is running the WOO full time? 

I think the Shark Racing team proved that you don't need a million dollar budget to run the tour.  

Keep It Real

So what's kept him unelevated up to now ? He's had all that since taking the KCP seat fulltime. Gio is a good driver but has yet to show any of the greatness that we so highly anticipated. If Kasey does break into the top 10 it will only be by a spot or two.

Every year the WoO is made up of 6 of the top sprint car teams in the country, a couple of cars who are capable of winning on a given night, and 4-6 teams that are either just starting out or are on the road to fulfull a dream or continue their lifestyle.

Of the new teams, Bayston is probably in that middle tier, Kahne and Gass are probably in that lower tier. I'd like to see Kahne become competitive enough that he can win a couple of races, we'll see what a full time schedule will do for him. 

By saying you are signing up you will get tow money which is a big deal.  You will get it till you realize I can not continue.  I hope he has funding to go the season.

Put some respect on Spencer Bayston's name. He looked really good in that CJB car and instantly won an Outlaw show when he got in there. He's got some funding to take to that team as well. They're a veteran outlaw team that knows how to win with a fast young driver. Look was Gravel did with that team years back. I think Bayston can elevate the team like he did, albeit maybe not quite at the same level.

Kasey is in a good car and was respectable throughout the season last year in that 83. Honestly probably the most consistent he's looked in a sprint car in a long time. If he can do that throughout a full schedule, he'll be in the mix. Its Bayston's to lose though.
