It was more the other way around...the Outlaws put rules in place to prohibit the Outlaw drivers from competing in any other show, usually within 48 hours or within 250 miles of an Outlaw show. It was done by Ted Johnson to "protect" those tracks/promoters who scheduled a WoO race and keep the WoO drivers' under his control. You'd get penalized points and tow money; how much? Well, that was at TJ's discretion....
USAC rules usually limited WoO participation, with USAC not running wings, and running for much smaller purses than the WoO - even back then....
