Back to the original idea, I remember reading Karl Kinser at some point saying he wouldn't run a wingless car anymore because of safety issues. Thats probably still true with a lot of the WoO teams, which would make a "mixed" schedule impossible, as much as we'd like it. Even The Great Larson doesn't want to run wingless any more (or does his NASCAR team forbid it?)
If you notice Larson usually runs for people he has a past friendship with, when he runs open wheel cars. Although he had success in non wing cars, he didn't really run them a lot. Some of the people he had the most success with aren't involved any more. A few years ago I asked him if his contract didn't allow him to drive them. He said no, he could. Not sure about today.
