So far, the score is WoO 4 and High Limit 2 of the WoO regulars. David Gravel, Sheldon Haudenschild, Logan Schuchart,and Gio Scelzi have all announced they will run WoO. Thus far, Brad Sweet and now Jacob Allen are the only two WoO regulars to announce they will be running with High Limit. PRI next week should be interesting.
This one surprised me as I was under the impression that shark racing relied heavily on the platinum benefits to keep going. You knew Sheldon was going to. His main sponsor is the Outlaw sponsor. He makes a killing off merchandise, and was smart not to jeopardize it. Gravel makes sense too. His car owner and sponsor are heavily invested in the Outlaws with Husets being the Outlaws highest paying race. Seems to me that it would be a good year for a team that wants to move up to do it. In reality there are not that many of those.

Brock Zearfoss has also committed to the outlaws tour again for 2024.

I think the lighter schedule appealed to Jacob. He was burned out this year by the Knoxville Nationals so imagine he will be able to take time off instead of racing every weekend.

Wonder how much High Limit benefit package is worth compared to WoO platinum package?
UPDATE this post of mine aged well aged well not even 4 hours LOL
Holmes is not joining Shark Racing on either tour. He said they tried to work out a deal but didn't happen.
