Not exactly sure how Larson driving the 15 for Stewart would represent any conflict of interest, as long as Ford Performance and other sponsors were OK with it.   It's no skin off of the WoO's nose who drives the 15 and Stewart owns the All Stars so how would the All Stars have an issue with it?    All that said, I think Stewart's interest in him is for the #14 in NASCAR.   

Because LARSON Owns A WOO Car driven by Carson Macedo -- Owner Points and Driver Points It is a CONFLICT OF INTERESTS and would cause all kinds of problems  It was suggested the Larson would take over for Schatz in the WOO. It would open up so may problems the WOO would never allow it

What would be the conflict of interest? How does it work for drivers that have their own teams? Was it a conflict of interest when Steve Kinser owned Kraigs car? 

The conflict of interest come into play is what if macedo is winning Larson is in 2nd and slows to let Macedo win so he gets the OWNER POINTS and also at the same time Blocks someone else from winning.  There can be so many ways Larson could CHEAT and other teams would be having Fits.  Kinser on the other Hand Owned the Cars and the teams there is No Conflict there he owned both of them.  Larson Driving for Stewart and Owning a  SEPERATE WOO Team is a Conflict from the get go and would never be allowed

Wow, your comments just keeps proving my theory that 80% of people are idiots. You just happen to fit in the top 10% of that 80% that are just flat stupid.

You must have missed the time when Steve Kinser was driving a car owned by Tony Stewart on the WoO tour and he (Steve) owned his son's (Kraig) team that was also racing the WoO tour.

I don't remember there being any trouble with "conflict of interest" then and I doubt there would be if Larson drove a car for Stewart.     That said, if Larson drives for Stewart its likely going to be in Nascar.   

I don't cheer for Donny to win, actually the opposite but I do respect his accomplishments. I didn't think what he said was really all that negative but more of a leadership message. This season & last season with everything going on Donny has been fairly positive about everything happening and trying to do his part but this past season, that team has not performed up to par. You can only encourage and pat people on the back and compliment them so much until eventually they just need a kick in the ass. If anyone on his team is offended or had any hurt feelings about it they can either fix the performance or go out the door. Although they have 2wins and are 2nd in the points, the results are not up to the standards that they are accustomed to. Even if Sweet & Schuchart have closed the gap. You don't win 10 championships & 10 Nationals by accepting the results that they have had. Donny has taken a lot in stride the past year & half but I think he might be getting to the point of if we're not going to get any better then some changes are going to be needed.

OR. It was just a joke to get a chuckle & ease some of the stress & tension that everyone might be under.

Thats was a part time gig for Volusia it wasnt a full Outlaw Tour with points and Big Money involved and a possible Championship.  Like I said any who can prove me wrong that it isnt a conflict of interests than do it.  I know this is a conflict of interests if Larson Signs to do a COMPLETE OUTLAW TOUR with Stewart while he OWNS an Outlaw Team  also Im sure Both Kinser and Stewart had to go to WOO and ask permision and sign all sorts of waivers and papers to do it.  Hell the lawsuits alon could kill WOO from the other owners that is haw ludicris this could become

    Is that a whole different than NASCAR having competing stables of drivers?

I feel the same way about Donny.  The only time I ever clapped for him was when he won the Knoxville Nationals from the B.  I dont cheer for him.  I cheer for the other guy.  But why?  He's so clean.  He does it the right way.  He's very professional even in defeat.  I've actually run into him by chance in public in Knoxville 2 times and he's a very polite human.  (At least in those 2 encounters).  Why don't more of us like Donny?  

I thought the ford would just drive itself right into victory lane. No need for a chassis even per some folks

WTF HUH??  Stupid??  Prove me wrong then go Mr I KNOW EVERYTHING Prove me wrong. ahead because the Stupidity of a WOO Team Owner driving for another team and it NOT being a Conflict Of Interest is STUPID.  That is a Disaster waiting to happen and the complications and problems it would cause are more than anyone can imagine.  Especially if the other Owners call foul and I guarantee it would happen

I could be wrong but I think Steve was in the TSR car all year and Kraig was in the SKR car all year, both of them on the WoO tour.   Steve finished 8th and Kraig 9th in points in 2014.
