The "outlaw" (Oklahoma) Andy Hillenburg and the "stock car" (Indiana) Andy Hillenburg are not the same. For years they were nicknamed by state -- Oklahoma Andy and Indiana Andy.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.139.120.39 (talk • contribs) 02:15, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
I propose merging World of Outlaws Late Model Series into this article. As it stands, that article is just a stub and a list from 2007.Mustang6172 (talk) 22:29, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
I don't think the description of the origin of WoO is correct. According to my memory, USAC did have a national championship for sprints, or if not, certainly had regional ones. The reason for the inception of WoO (and the origin of the name) was that USAC would ban people from running races sanctioned by other groups. Non-USAC races were "outlaws". Ted Johnson put together a series of "outlaw" tracks, opened up the rules (there were differences between USAC, CRA, and WoO rules as well), and off he went to the races. Perhaps wings were involved as well ? USAC at the time did not allow wings, so the Outlaws were faster ? Which was a selling point for promoters and fans, which helped them get off the ground ... anyway, I am sure that the reaction against USAC was a much bigger part of the name and the series and the association than is described in this article. It's for someone else to document, though :) 203.160.86.78 (talk) 11:27, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
