I liked what I seen from Cole Duncan & Mike & Sam McGhee motorsports, maybe a test for 2023 All Stars run?

Will Tyler move up to WoO, 2 NOS cars on the circuit?

What's in store for 2023 All Star Circuit, any known changes coming, purses, new facility/tracks, more trips to PA, MI, IN-IL or more around OH?

Would like to see some more local OH drivers step up to tour, I know it takes a lot of time & $$$

The top 8 drivers made 955 of the racces, with only 2 making all 50 raes, but a good following.

Some more Marks, Detrich & Macri would be fun to watch.

And a 1 and a 2 and a 3

PPM will be back in the McGhee for 2023. That car is definitely capable with PPM, Macri and Duncan all scoring All Star wins in it.

I think Sunshine could be ready for Woo and look for Emerson Axsom to move to All Stars, that is my guess.

With all the races that the All Stars schedule in PA don't look for any Ohio regulars to step up  to the tour.

Real question is who gets in the Lane #4 ride as sounds like they are still wanting to be on the tour. Needs a driver and Crew Chief

Going to be an interesting off season. Right now the plus of doing the All Stars is you should be able to do all the High Limit shows assuming they are all in the midwest or PA.

I'd say the real question is whether Lane will even field a car. I'd be surprised if they do. 

I think the All Stars should look to close their year with the 4 Crown. I don't think there's a need to keep it going 2 more weeks just to run at a crappy one lane track like Fremont with a mediocre crowd.

I keep thinking Flo money is going to make the All Stars a good 2nd touring option but it seems like that money is going to High Limit. There's too many $6k to win shows (with $1500 for 5th) for it to be a real option for WoO teams who want to run a more open schedule. I would assume the ones who drop off the WoO tour if that happens will just run an open schedule.

I see Macri following the same path as Marks for 2023. To me it makes sense, why travel as much as these outlaw teams travel when you can do really well just picking and choosing. There's good money in racing pa, ohio and going out to the nationals every year. You have ohio and pa speedweeks, Eldora with the big money shows, and healthy weekly purses locally.  The platinum deal keeps those guys tied down to 1 series racing, and yes it's worth a lot of money even if you don't run well, and don't forget by doing so your almost guaranteed a top 10 in points. 

Saturday night it looked like the 305's were racing at Fremont. 

He's going to team up with the 23 car and combine their junk with his junk and try to make 1 decent car to run local

Was thinking the same thing.

All Stars need a big paying event that is not in PA. End of year finale would be great. Nice that they increased winner's pay at Four Crown to $10,000, but I think a much bigger paying show at the end of the year would be great somewhere here in Ohio. 

Why not at Eldora?  And of course it's tougher to get big crowds with Football season on Friday nights and Saturdays now. Also cooler weather. 

Love the WoO, Love the All Stars, excited to see High Limit. It's all good. Nothing wrong with trying to make it even better.  

I guess you are admitting defeat if the All Stars can't win one of the big All Star events in PA.

Let's go Sprint Car Racing!

Knoxville - Best Track In the USA!
Eldora - 2nd Best Track in the USA!

Get the All Stars outta the 4-Crown non-wang wonderland, and put the finale back at Eldora the 2nd weekend of October as God & Bert Emick intended.  And while we're at it, move the Ford Classic back to September followed by the Hoosier Fall Classic in Lawrenceburg. Let's get this ship right again. 

I would not call the Lane #4 junk, finishing I believe 4th in the owners points with the All Stars is a pretty good accomplishment. Now the 23, that is a shit pile. Loved it a few weeks ago at Fremont they had the trailer all locked up at Fremont with Andrews sitting there waiting in his uniform and no one showed up to unlock the trailer until they were firing motors. Then roll it out with no maintenance done from Attica the night before. Pretty sad state of affairs there.

You hit the nail on the head

Not admitting defeat. I will say the WoO doesn't win all the races in PA either. Pa is tough, no question.

In addition to the really big paying All Star santioned show in Pa, let's have one in Ohio too.

One would think the the young Hot Shoes, Ryan Timms & Cory Day would join with one of the travelling clubs.

I would like to see that. It would be a great stepping stone for both next year.

The car owner/wanna be crew chief is a drunk that's why

Track was good Friday night, Saturday not so much. I was a little surprised at the crowd, or lack thereof. I thought this was a pretty big event in OH. It would be great if the all-stars could bump up the purse a little. Not sure how great their point fund is but I think the champion gets $100,000 which is pretty decent.

"A now historical high for the Series, the 2022 All Star championship team will be awarded with an $80,000 first place prize, a $15,000 bump from 2021. The 2022 championship runner-up will be awarded with a $60,000 check, followed by a $50,000 sum for third, $40,000 for fourth, and $30,000 for fifth."

It is a good point fund especially the $60k for 2nd and $50k for 3rd. 

I've been really surprised by the Ohio All Star crowds this year with Attica, Atomic and Fremont being kind of empty on occasion outside of the Speedweek shows. Will be interesting to see if Courtney moves up or is content with dominating the All Stars. This is the 2nd year in a row he'll make over $400k considering points and purse, and obviously some of that is due to big race wins but he does alright.
