LOL, this feels like a post declaring High Limit supremacy, and the hilarious part is that it's not only tremendously misleading, it's flat out inaccurate.
High Limit drivers have actually won six WoO races - Larson 2x at Volusia, Rico at Knoxville, Larson at Jacksonville, Rico at Plymouth and Sweet at Beaver Dam.
I actually think the debate on if Larson qualifies as an actual High Limit driver is more pertinent than ever this year - as of this post, he's made 16 410 starts this year - 9 with High Limit, 7 with WoO. I'd say there's a good argument that he's more of a true Outlaw than ever.
A better way to compare this is winning percentages, given the low number of opportunities WoO drivers have to win High Limit races. If my count is right, there are three High Limit events that one or more WoO drivers have participated in and the wins are split evenly with Reutzel winning Port, Kofoid winning Eagle and Arenz (local/unaffiliated) winning 141.
That would give WoO drivers a 33% win rate when invading High Limit events. I would guess the HL driver win rate in WoO races would be somewhat higher at a glance but I'm not going to look it up exactly - my guess would probably be in the 50% rate. Be interesting to see how these percentages track with larger sample size.
