I mentioned similar in Raudman's video comments..My take or question is this... Even though it's still a small sample size, are we seeing some indications as to why the traditional national touring drivers, 49, 5, 15 are looking stronger this year. Many of the two series depth drivers who weren't a part of an elite national touring series in the past, while re very good drivers and saw success on the AAA circuit and could pick up the odd national series win, they and we are realizing that the gap from the top touring guys to the next tier is even larger than we first thought. At the time of the split and subsequent signings, the analysis was all about who got the best and who got the depth. Time will ultimately tell but as it sits, look at the wins in both series. "Outlaw" guys are winning. Then look at Lincoln and the PA comments. Ya, guys are running well locally and making a name, though with the depth on tour, those stats will look inflated as well in comparison to previous years. It's a good scenario as HL wanted, more guys are winning and more money is being paid out to guys who might not normally benefit. But I think it's apparent, the drop from the top tier to the next tier is larger than first thought. Add in the grind etc... Touring will humble some.
maybe McCreadie is over the hill or just cant adjust to the Rocket. but he barely looks any better than he did last year, so maybe it's the driver. he cant run like those guys that are winning. they drive over the ragged edge of the limits of the car. Tim has never run like that.
I think this is playing out exactly how WRG didn't want. It's very much starting to look like Gravel and then everyone else not even close. Those HL guys missing and other competitive guys racing less with WoO allow the rest of the WoO drivers to more easily finish in the top 5. The days of there being several competitive regional racers may very well be ending.
@@mhurley782, I think that's why there's a definitive buzz around races when HL guys show up. It's less likely to be Gravel and then the others filling out the top 5. Of course,in those races without HL and then the other contract drivers finishing top 5, it will keep the points a bit closer. That's their only saving grace.
Outlaw fans might not like this comment but you're 100% right. Gravel I think will run away with it this year even moreso than he already has, and even with Sweet winning 3 races with High Limit this year, every race "feels" fresh which is a big deal. Sweet only has an 8 point lead on Courtney and a 61 point lead over Marks who hasn't even won a race yet. I actually think you summed the current situation up nicely in just a few sentences. Lincoln doesnt have much to offer the Outlaws anymore but Port did, and we know how that deal went with WRG being babies about it.
Gravel is one of the best drivers in the country. And yes he is trying to chase that championship. He came into this week pissed off cuz the flat tire last week and I don't blame him. Wasn't a good time for that to happen. But yeah good run.that 2 was fast.
I would like to purchase hoodies, t shirts, a hat, and a cup, along with some stickers if that is possible? I mistakenly waited to order so I could order all at once and now I missed my opportunity. 😔
McCreadie is never going to be the guy who is fastest in practice, qualifying and the race. But he will be top ten, top five every race and not tear up any equipment. He will get points.
Are you saying he can’t drive given that he has won 3 national titles or the rocket house car is not good given that Hudson won the Lucas championship last year and the world 100
TMac’s best days are behind him. Will he still be competitive? Yes, but not like years past and I can’t see him winning anymore championships in any car on either tour. Lots of younger guys with good teams making this class extremely competitive. Not bashing, just my opinion.
It was a standard Lincoln race. It isnt a huge accomplishment for gravel to win. Outside of the top 10 there was basically no passing, there never is at lincoln. It really isnt worthy of a national race anymore. If you are lucky on a weekly show you might see a good feature with some side by side racing. Until the feature you NEVER will. you start and finish in the same place and the heat line ups are dictated by luck of the draw for time trials.
Not a posse fan, at all, but Dietrich did go +15 finishing 9th. Other than that, not a lot of passing. I'm not a fan of the PA 1/2 mile tracks, to spread out, prefer 1/4 and 3/8 tracks
Let's be clear. Danny didnt pass inside the top 10. He was out of position starting in 24th, certainly. Even still, of the +15 positions in the race, 7 were crashes that people dropped out, he didnt need to pass them. Mostly, in the top 10, the only +positions were from one or two drivers fading hard (or Kody Hartlaub getting junked).

I’m liking non winged sprints at Haubstadt this weekend! Should be a great race! Great show as always!

Get off this calling cory day -sunshine that's just weird . Don't think l do . 😅😊😅😊.
Sunshine is Tyler Courtney, not Corey Day.
😂 I told you Gravel was long overdue to win at Lincoln 🏁
High Limit at Fonda got canceled on May 18th
Doing the double with USAC, weather permitting.
Did you see Cole Macedo at Hanford last weekend. He was pretty wild.
Didn’t it also take Hudson O’Neal some time before he started winning as well in rocket1? Or am I wrong?
Hunt the fronts main sponsor langenfelder mechanical leaves the team yesterday.
Sounds like something Elvis would do..
Rocket1, Clay Harris, Garrett Smith and a few others were testing at Davenport yesterday.
Every shirt or hoodie should ALWAYS ALWAYS have a pictures of card on front and back ALWAYS lol
Shirt hoodie hat sticker combo
Weather is looking good for ASCS Elite Non-Wing Sprints at LoneStar Speedway in Kilgore, TX. I'm hoping to go to that race.
Have fun !!! Be safe.
Maybe Grant won't step on it this weekend

WoO is getting predictable.

Gravel now has a full race lead and it’s barely May. The only drama left is whether or not he wins 20.

Track was junk

I agree with your comments on TMAC The same thing if not more should be asked about the longhorn house car where Bshepp has 2 wins in 36 starts
I would like to purchase hoodies, t shirts, a hat, and a cup, along with some stickers if that is possible? I mistakenly waited to order so I could order all at once and now I missed my opportunity. 😔
The Rocket car has been showing up from time to time latley at Skyline Speedway in Stewart Ohio for some testing. Its in the middle of the week.
McCreadie is never going to be the guy who is fastest in practice, qualifying and the race. But he will be top ten, top five every race and not tear up any equipment. He will get points.
Yeah...averaging a 9th place finish in the fastest Rocket in Super late model racing...😂
If you think being a 9th or 10th place finishing car is going to be fine with Mark ,I have a bridge I will sell you .
Are you saying he can’t drive given that he has won 3 national titles or the rocket house car is not good given that Hudson won the Lucas championship last year and the world 100
unfortunately it looks like Tim is over the hill now and has never been the guy to drive the wheels off it, which is what it takes to win these days.
definitely will buy a hat on the next drop, preferably a black richardson!
I like the t-shirt that is back ground, i blue and white one. every time i get on when you do shirts you are sold out of them
TMac’s best days are behind him. Will he still be competitive? Yes, but not like years past and I can’t see him winning anymore championships in any car on either tour. Lots of younger guys with good teams making this class extremely competitive. Not bashing, just my opinion.
Agreed. I think TMAC is a placeholder for this season and Mark will have the seat filled with someone else for next season
Do you have tshirts with pockets
Looks like rain tomorrow but Saturday looks promising
For Williamsgrove, sorry
Crew new sweat shirts
YEEYEE Justin 👍
Huddy would have had atleast 3 more wins in the Rocket house car had he stayed.....lol😮
Double D needs to improve on his time-ins. He probably could have finished higher with a better qualifying time. I always pull for Danny.

@@mikepalmer7368 ?
DD 24th to 9th….No passing????
