I for one will certainly be pulling for regulars to beat the circus clowns. I think it would be absolutly grand to see Phillips, Maeschen, Brown, or maybe Heskin pull the upset. But considering your west of [ You know which State; ] your at a gigantic monumental disadvantage when it comes to a chance at beating the WoO. We're all pulling for you Iowa/midwest!! It's time to step up!! Aren't you getting tired of being second best to[you know which state; ] Take it easy and Go Henderson!

Henderson has a Chucky checkbook in his back pocket like Tmac does. Com sat night they will be heading north.

A lot of fun activities for the fans next weekend. Look out for the Casey's General Store FVP Searsboro Telephone Impact signs #21 !!!!

Keep It Real

He isn't getting paid anymore then what a normal local driver gets. Besides the tow money, only because they come from farther away. 

MY BET..BADLANDS WILL DOUBLE THE PRIZEMONEY AGAIN ..AND THE OUTLAWS WILL BE RACING THE 12 OR 13 LOCALS ..THAT THEY RACED AT THE FAIRGROUNDS LAST WEEKEND.

And yet the NSL and Knoxville are suppose to be the bad guys if you listen to certain people...

What is so bad about RACING FOR MORE MONEY IF YOU CAN?

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

So is tow many where the driver is based or car is based? And for guys that travel is it based on last track they were at or hometown?

Of the 7 higher level guys that have been split off from Knoxville (T. McCarl, A. McCarl, Dobmeier, Zomer, Kaeding, Jeffrey, and Henderson).  I think you will see all of them except for Dobmeier at Knoxville Friday.  

Then McCarls and Jeffrey will head to Badlands Saturday for sure ($$$).  I think Henderson and Kaeding will stay in Knoxville, and Zomer is a coin flip. I haven't heard if he's trying to win Badlands points or not.  If running for points title I think Zomer will go to Badlands, although he's already basically out of contention.  It's already looking like Dobs and McCarl running away with points.  Kaeding still in contention so maybe they would go back if they think they can still win it.  

If they all go back to Badlands...then yes, that would just about confirm they are all being paid more than just tow money to show up.  There would be no other reason for those top guys who would be competing for top 10s at Nationals, not to stay and tune up against outlaws.  Especially Henderson who is pretty much already out of Badlands points.

There is one outlaw that owns Knoxville and you know who that is.

Weather looks great, I have a vacation day Friday. I'm looking forward to the 560 mile ride out

Yeh, "you know who" owns the top spot, but at last years Nationals 6 of the top 8 were WoO drivers.....The Dude and Brian Brown were the only Knoxville regulars to make the top 8.....next Knoxville regular I believe was McCarl at 11th. So I'd say the top WoO guys pretty much all have a good grip on the Knoxville track set up. Not that that can't change, but I think Danny and Brian have a the best shot as far as locals again this year.
