I still don't get what the big deal is? Like I said on WoO off nights during Speedweeks in FL you have guys running ASCoC that are WoO regulars. Pittman, Saldana, Stewart, etc (all big names in WoO) ran Cocopah and there was no drama there.
Not trying to argue with you. I just think all the drama up that way is more of a result of the Badlands/Chuck vs. WoO rather than WoO trying to protect their product.

This is one of the re-occurring themes on IOW that makes me laugh.
Every x months, someone will get on the message board and complain how much more money the WOO drivers earn. They will complain about the bigger sponsorships that they receive. They will complain that they don't understand why the WOO is perceived as the premiere Sprint Car Sanction in the country.
Then every x months, there will be a post like this one complaining about the WOO not allowing their drivers to race for other promoters. The post will complain when the WOO will go to great lengths to protect their image and their drivers.
These two things are directly related. If you want to see a WOO driver, you have to go to a WOO show. If you want to be a contracted WOO driver, you will receive great benefits, but you will have to be committed to the WOO. They go hand and hand.
