I have my subscription to both Flo and DV and will watch at least 50% of WoO and HL races this year with no discrimination---enjoy both shows and their talent pools.  Those of you that are diehard WoO haters and HL worshipers still believe the HL has the upper hand on talent in 2026 when it comes to drivers racing for the championships?  If so, IMO, you're completely delusional.  In the past years, I would at least entertain the thought that the WoO was more top-heavy but the HL had more depth in the field.  This year, there's no contest.  WoO hands down.  Ruetzel has an outside shot of winning the HL title.  Ruetzel wouldn't finish top-3 with the Outlaws for sure, and breaking the top-5 would be tough.  Rico?  He'd have to improve to break the top-3 in Outlaw points.  Gravel, Buddy, and Carson don't have bad runs unless they wreck or get wrecked.  Sheldon continues to figure out how to put a car back in the hauler with a 10th place finish vs. wrecking while going for 9th.  Donny is a wild card this year with a new ride and a fresh start.  Logan rounds out a very impressive top-6 guys.  Axsom will likely have a learning curve, but will win races.  Balog will win races again.  Rounding out the top-10 in my book would be Bayston and Torgerson.  Not exactly powerhouse drivers competing for the title, but a pretty stout 9th and 10th.  

 

Just my opinion.  Welcome to debate.....  wink

 

 

PS---If HL wins tonight, or this whole weekend for that matter, my opinion won't change when considering the next 9 months.

To be honest, I pay for the Flo membership, and my son pays for DV.

ps hedging your bets for a Rico clean sweep? wink

 

I really don't care which series-or any series- has the "best drivers", as long as there is good racing. Good racing means passing.

I like both series and I have both subscriptions. I would say the top 5 talent is pretty equal for both series. We will see who is the best in 10 months when we tally up the bank deposits.

The world of outlaw racing was really good tonight. Great to see Donny back on form and I hope it holds through the season. Finally, that was some grade A pro-level world of Outlaw fanboy stuff right there! You always preface it with making yourself sound neutral, and then you consistently fanboy the world of outlaws every time you post on the matter. You're not fooling anybody. Whatever floats your boat, you do you fanboy!
