Here are some additional tidbits from the WoO camp:

"Among the drivers expected to challenge the Outlaws at Lone Star are three-time WoO LMS champion Billy Moyer of Batesville, Ark.; Brian Birkhofer of Muscatine, Iowa; Jack Sullivan of Greenbrier, Ark.; and Texas/Louisiana standouts such as Ray Moore of Shreveport, La.; Howard Willis of Dayton, Texas; Kevin Sitton of Baytown, Texas; and Chris Brown of Cleveland, Texas.

Brown, who won a SUPR series event at Lone Star last year, will also field a second car in this weekend's WoO LMS events for All-Star Late Model Series regular Rick 'Boom' Briggs of Bear Lake, Pa., a former WoO LMS Crew Chief of the Year and cousin of tour veteran Chub Frank. Brown purchased his two cars from Frank and often calls the national superstar for setup assistance."
