How many WoO guys may show up? They are in the neighborhood and shouldn’t have to ask permission

None. WoO nixed it last week. They were initially given the green light, but now it has been pulled back for various reasons.
Confirmed Danny Dietrich and potentially Gio Scelzi and Brent Marks.

Seems detrimental to the sport and certainly to the driver’s. I believe the Allstars had the Eldora race last year and invited the Outlaws. If memory serves Kevin Rudeen has fielded cars with the Outlaws and this race is for his foundation. I would like to know facts but without them we’ll just have to say the Outlaws are getting too big for their britches

I doubt if very many card carrying Outlaws would have came there anyway. Its a about a 6 hour drive from Sharon Speedway to Kokomo. Not saying I like it, but I do understand the Outlaws protecting their brand. The cost to a track that books an Outlaw show is a lot of money. A lot of that money is tow money and other payments to platinum members. When teams sign up, they commit to this. This isn't a new thing. I believe this went on even when Ted owned them.

I’m not saying it’s new I’m just saying it’s wrong but good for the guy’s who aren’t WOO regulars. Funny those of us who were around when they came into existence remember real Outlaws, kinda ironic they use the name and keep their horses in their own barn. I would also say they probably should protect their brand because the Allstars is every bit as good

I agree with Brent to a certain extent but on the same token the WOO is taking the chance of winning a $26,000 check out of their member's hands!!!
