The World of Outlaws Has a Communications Problem

 The World of Outlaws has a Communications Problem. It is a Vibe Sinker, if not a Vibe Killer, and it hurts worse as a Sprint Car Fan. Even though High Limit tends to be Over the Line on Socials, but, the Low Bar is How the World of Outlaws is handling their Business.

I'd keep being a Bob Leyian Blot until Something Good Comes Out of It. What I didn't like Last Year was HOW the Outlaws-ASCS Merger went down in timing, which timing is a Huge Part of the Communications Business. These people are not Racers or Crew Members, but, they'd help the Series and its perception go down.

Speaking of being a Blot, I don't understand how Hulkmania made us Fans Hulk Out, no pun intended. What the World Racing Group is taking heat for is the Top to Bottom Racing Product has collapsed.

Generally, when People Flock to Florida from the Snow and Ice Belts that a lot of these Tracks are From, they want to get excited for their Home Season. That was not the case this year.

And, Communications, especially Effective and Appropriate Communications is Hard Work. We'd have 17 Health Insurance Eligible ASCS Stars and Cars and none of them are from Southern Iowa. I'd feel that a lot of Small Town Short Track America has to rededicate itself to the Great Outdoors.

And, as an aside, I'd go crazy to think I'd say someone is going to be Nigel Mansell, Josef Newgarden, Simon Pagenaud and Alexander Rossi only to get lured into Late Models. That is a different tale for a different post.

Actually, Kyle Larson is the Commissioner of Not Finishing Wins

I am not in the mood for arguments, and if we had a Knoxville Nationals this year, we would have it easier if Jacob Allen had his 1st A Main Win in the Biggest A Main of the Year than Kyle Larson. The reality is Kyle Larson always wins the Smaller Races and Venues more than the Bigger Races and Venues.

It would be not as big of a knock if it was not Kyle Larson's lack of character having to be drug through the mud. Chase Elliott would be just as bad in being drug through not finishing wins, but, the casualty there is character is not drug through the house.

Kyle Larson would be SOL in a Good Indy Car or Cup Series Ride. I am thinking that Noah Gragson would fall forward with Noah Gragson's Sponsors before Kyle Larson would fall to Hendrick, because Rick Hendrick hates Kyle Larson.

If it was about racing, Kyle Larson would have been on the Short List of People who'd want to drive a good car. I would think what would be a bust here is if Hendrick became Williams and everyone else built new because of it.

What is actual is we do not have the Knoxville Nationals, and Kyle Larson does not have as good of Social Media Wave as Matt DiBenedetto. I would think that it would be the other things that would drag Kyle Larson down and that would cause problems to his performance.

Sears is Leaving Town and So Is The World of Outlaws....

I feel since Sears is leaving my fair city today, I'd feel the World of Outlaws have to at least leave the Big Tent, too. It is a fair arrangement, or as fair as the City Council and the School Board working together.

And, I know one of these vacant buildings will get us Scheels or Bass Pro Shops, but, that is not the story. But, I feel what is aping is why the World of Outlaws went with Sears and Craftsman.

Gaping would be the better word and we'd run a more dedicated IndyCar Bid from Southeast Polk or Grain Valley. And, I am longing more for a Superior IndyCar, not the rageolepsy of Scott Dixon running stats or Tony Kanaan keeping Ironman from Team Penske.

And, would the World of Outlaws look no better than the All Star Championship Tour? There is so many things we can't pretend if we tried, and making it is not always true.

I'd rather be superior where I'd count and race my heroes with my heroes. Okay, the 2nd One is not realistic, but, let's focus on superiority.

The World Of Outlaws has problems with Craftsman Sponsorship

I really have trouble wrapping my head around the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sponsorship, even if someone bought the whole stock of Craftsman tools from under Sears and made it an automotive 1 Line or Schtick. It'd keep people happy and fed, but, it is not a sound business strategy.

Where the ASCS and Lucas Oil have won the most is the Hub City and Market of Chicago and Chicagoland. Sadly, those gains are hard to take back. Speaking of net losses of unprofitability, not having Super Dirt Week at an actual dirt track smells of condemnation.

It's tough to wrap my mind around a sponsorship that should be reserved for the Truck Series, and I feel like most cases, people don't wait for kit parts. They make their own. The World of Outlaws, the series, knows the open road better than nothing. They aren't necessarily strong in bookkeeping.

The effectivity is as great as the sponsorship. If stories come left and right over Sears having an unprofitable Christmas, it would mean the spinoff to the record books would end next Fall. I don't like how my city artisanry collects bad contracts like a good thing, and seeing 2 of the Companies Sam Walton worked for before Wal-Mart's Founding fold is not a good image and I feel too much of the Sprint Car Competiton Coast to Coast has receded since Steve Kinser's retirement and I feel the Roads to Indy and Formula Cars would have to restart in earnest and even though we'd have Winged Sprint Cars, but, I think having to work long and hard to keep non-traditional sponsors engaged when we hardly have a reason to get up most mornings needs to happen.
