Donny Schatz has what it takes to survive the long, grueling, ridiculous WoO schedule.

The WoO schedule must not be too long, grueling, or ridiculous, with all these drivers wanting to race more, more and more. That 86+(4) race schedule just isn't enough for some.

When someone blames Flo or DirtVision it makes me laugh. Streaming TV and even Broadcast TV does not have that kind of affect on racing other than maybe NASCAR . . . . . . .wake up haters. Sorry!

Not to mention that these drivers signing on with High Limit always could have joined the WoO tour but they didn't. Some may hit a wall and drop off just like they do with the Outlaws. Fields are split but the price to get into a race is the same. I'm not sure how that will sit with fans once it gets going and we can actually see some races from both series.
It's a great year to concentrate on the IRA, Husets and Knoxville weekly shows and see what shakes out of this mess by next October.

I would say that Port Royal made the right decision for 2024 and in the future. High Limit will be around for quite sometime and things will only get better. Take it to the Bank!

Balog just won rookie of the year with the outlaws. Once again probably uncontested.

Crawley has nothing for Balog. That is why I said probably uncontested!

Considering Balog's experience compared to Crawley's lack of sure right now he should get it but there's a few more names not commited to anything yet namely Courtney.

What are odds of either series having five drivers run all their races. HL had what, 26 or so committed to a 12 race schedule last year and 5 or 6 six ran all of the races. Alot of this is going to come down to where they are in points about July or August when the big money races start.

If your 15th in points your not going to make any money in the big money races.

Without knowing the specifics of the streaming deals they made one cannot judge accurately how much influence they will or do have.
