Just posted on their facebook that the current promoters are not going to run the track this season. Out of state work commitments was mentioned. They also, said the WoO Late Model date would be held at Marion Center. Wonder if anyone will pick up the Western PA Speedweek date? Knox or Latrobe come to mind, maybe Raceway 7? Guess it depends on if anyone wants to run on a Thursday.

What a bombshell of an announcement. Sad to see a good track sit. Excited to see the WoO at marion center. Also hopefully some of the lates come to sarver this year. Interested in who picks up the speedweek Thursday show._.

Dog Hollow much closer to Thunder Mountain than Lernerville, so doubt many Thunder Mountain cars will go to Lernerville for a Friday night race. Really a surprise announcement and the World of Outlaws has already sent out a press release on the Thunder Mountain race being moved to Marion Center. Historically, a surprise as for decades the Potts family at Marion Center pretty much stayed away from big sanctioned races and here the track will be running a WoO Late Model race in 2022. And as far as the Speedweek race is concerned, it too could be moved to Marion Center!! It will be interesting to see what happens there.
GOOD RACING TO ALL!!!

Even with Lernerville paying better than dog? Im hoping for at least 5 or 6 to show up weekly. 410s at marion center would be cool

I have heard Lux doesn't like Lernerville. I didn't hear why or what he doesn't like about it.

Idk if he doesnt like lernerville or not i think he probably thinks he has a better chance winning at dog hollow over lernerville. Less competitive division at dog as compaired to lernerville imo.I have heard Lux doesn't like Lernerville. I didn't hear why or what he doesn't like about it.

With some of the low car counts at Lernerville last year, I don't know if it would be any harder to win there ? It just ain't like the old days when Lynn Giesler ran there and the field would be full of cars.

Low car counts? Didn't they average like 15 or 16 every night at least

Lux & team had an issue on opening night a few years back. They got the pole for the a main and for some reason there was a mistake with the amount of cars they put in the redraw so they redid it and he ended up like starting 9th and a DNF. They posted on their team Facebook he would never go back. They were back in a like a month, but have only ran their a handful of times since then.
