Plus the defending Knoxville Nationals champion, a couple of NASCAR guys and 39 other cars. This should be interesting.

Is lebron in the house? Lol. If so that's what everybody want the best of both going toe to toe.

Rico all the way. Many top WOO plus Day and Larsen. Best B main of year.Macedo hard charger but most were watching Day. Kyle advaned several positions but just too far back!More fun when the field is bigger and better

Rico is the only High Limit Driver in the top 10! Embarassing for the series!

... and when the track is smaller...

But Rico won and Rueutzel broke while contending for second . Rico pretty much commited to the top and Gravel appeared to prefer the bottom rather than deal with some rather car eating ruts 2 Nascar 6 WOO  I HL but winning trumps number of top ten cars, The fans were winners as it was fun even if won from front row. You never know but start Rico or David second row might of had different result. Williamsen has been improving and will win one soon.

5 of top 6 were outlaw cars, but Rico and Reutzel were stellar.  Good balance

This is what we could have had, a series of mid-week high paying races with most everyone there. The sport did not need to be fractured by the ginger feline. 

Reutzel might have had a chance if he had not banged the wall with his right rear and broke his car.  

I love Rico, but the heat race was the key with his battle with Marks to get in the dash. He definitely drove ELBOWS up in that one especially throwing it into turn one to take the lead. Other than the annoying bump in turn one, I thought it was an enertaining race. The Outlaws appear deeper, but Rico & Reutzel can win anytime or any where. Watching Day charge from the back was fun. Overall, a good night for the sport..

Outlaws are definitely deeper in 2026.  A-aron could contend for the Outlaws title though.  Rico started the year too inconsistent and would already be out of the race for the title.  But, he can win anywhere, anytime, and will be a force wherever he is the rest of the year.  If you were to combine both series, Reutzel and Rico would be in the top 8.  The next 6 on my list, and on most power-rankings, would be Outlaw full-timers.  Sunshine, Gio, Thorson, Peck, and Marks are not near as consistent as the top-5 or 6 Outlaws right now.  Pursley is not good at all in a winged 410.  That may change, but let's call it what it is.  Tanner Holmes is a great kid, and I enjoy talking to him and listening to his social media.  He's not a top-10 or 12 Outlaw either. 

(Not including Macri when healthy of course)

i really love reading these posts...if anyone says high limit was good the other will bring some stat out of no where....if any one say woo is stronger....i just got done looking ....after the top 4 in each group the wins are so scattered,,, the only one with  more wins outside  the top 4.... is ....of course....Larson...LOL   as far as Gio not being consistant 19 top tens out of 21 races ain't bad... as far as spiltting the teams up ....me ...the fan.... gets to see more races than i ever got to see .    with all the cars that are on tour right now...if they all got together we couldn't afford the tickets to get to see them race....just not enough money in the bucket for that

but keep the posts coming because they are fun to read

Not only fun to read----there is actually time put into researching rather than turning it into a popularity contest...

Gio?  Okay, not inconsistent.  Consistently top-10 with little threat to win.  As my son said, Gio finishes his normal 8th place.  (and one of our favorite guys to root for, so not being an ass, just speaking the truth)   The top guys in either series, run 3rd, 4th, or 5th consistently on a night where they "miss."
