most stupied format yet ricky won 23 race and had a 500 point gap and a rut and a broken suspension kills it

Wow only 7 cars finished the race

Tough break for RTJ but congrats to Hudson O'Neill on becoming the LOLMDS World Champion he runs the globe!!

Wow, a race track that had more ruts than a corn field after harvest, four guys that was battling for a championship, and two badass commentators this soap opera was worth watching! Congratulations to Brandon and the B5 team on the win and to a hell of a run by Hudson and Devin on a awesome show! Congrats Hudson and the Rocket 1 Team on the LOLMS Championship!

Way to put it up front Tyler #28

The last 5 times I've watched a race at Eldora the track has gotten worse each time!!! Facility may be nice but the track surface is total shit

Never seen Eldora race track so rough!!

For all u people bitching about the track prep, it rained all day for 3 days straight what do you expect? Yeah it was a little rough but it provided a good race and thats what u can ask for. If u cant muscle through the wholes then go home!

Congratulations to my Driver Hudson O'Neal and the Rocket1 Team on capturing the National championship.

More lead changes than cars that finished

If you’re going to run a playoff then # of wins on the year needs to factor in when you get to the final 4. Bonus points per win to everyone in the top 4 or something. Tough break for RTJ. The check and trophy may say one name, but we all know who the best driver was this year.

Holy shit. What a race. Congrats to Sheppy and Huddy. Really tough for RTJ. He should have been the champion. Next year they will have a different format

Congratulations 5!! 🏁🏆🏁

I know its all far from perfect rules but this year I’ve by far enjoyed watching all this play out more than sprints. Way to go relentless crews and drivers! Omg one more thing. Who let the Kamakazi Kid in lol?

The price of cattle just went down and the price of rocket fuel just went up 🤣🤣

Hellyeah tyler carpenter!!!!!!!

Welcome to racing in October in Ohio. Great racing! Don't care about how rough it was, everyone has to race the same dirt.

Such a famous track for so many years... so much money goes through it.....and I have seen local underfunded race tracks that have a better racing surface than this.

Conditions seemed like the great equalizer out there. What a race.

You guys gotta start posting the race winner interviews. Come on

You got the nascrap stuff right. As much as rtj dominated all year and gets screwed

The track condition was terrible.... surprised more cars didn't break.

Tell me those 2 2nd generation drivers weren't up on the wheel and buttholes puckered for the last 15 laps. That's was driving!

Wtf would anyone try and adopt a point system that napcar has? Napcar has been dying for 15yrs now. WoO can really capitalize on this stupidity if they were smart..if they raised there purses and championship purse alot of the Lucas guess would just ship. I bet RTJ would for sure.

Now that’s the way we want to see a super late model race.. great race..

Yes the track was junk, but man oh man what a race. I’ve been to a lot of races at eldora and this one ranks up at the top!

I don't care what anyone says, that was a hell of a race, don't agree with the format, but the drivers all agreed to it.

That was Awesome !!!

What a race!!

that was wild

Next year lets run this race this race in the middle of a cornfield in iowa..might as well

Congratulations BSHEPP & TeamB5🏁🏆👍 HORNS-UP🤘

New points rule is a joke. Eldora track prep is a joke. RTJ was the real champion and nobody in their right mind will say otherwise.

Awesome race!!

that sure was a wild one!! my kind'a racin'!!

That was a exciting finish good race.

Awesome race

Great race considering the track conditions. But a high-5 has to go to the Eldora track preppers, they worked magic on a track that was in horrendous shape and at least made it race-able.

What a race ❤

The guy a lap down wins the championship and the guy 1000 points behind gets second. Pathetic NASCAR rules are polluting dirt racing.

notice there is nobody in the grand stands

Late Model Dirt Racin' GREATEST SHOW ON DIRT BABY 🏎🏁

Nice job Hudson!! Whether or not you like the format, its what they signed up for. Helluva ending too!! Congrats to BShep

Every lap I thought the ruts were going to launch somebody outta the track!! The drivers and the Cars are tougher than a $2 steak!! Way ta Go Shep for the win but what a race for the Championship behind him!! That race was worth every penny spent on a ticket to watch the show. Congrats Hud on the Championship. RTJ just had Awful Luck at the absolute worst time possible.

It would be really cool if y’all included the interview from the winner too

Absolutely wild race. You could do an entire documentary on that race

Say what you want about the format, the excitement and emotions invoked because of the stakes, made that race an Instant Classic!

The DTWC needs to stay either Eldora or Atomic.

Now that was an Awesome finish, one that will stick solid in the memories of the racing world. Eat your heart out Nascar.

Why wasn't the DTWC held in westvirginia?

Awesome race good job

Like the way the points are given out or not. You gotta admit they made for a great race abd a lot of excitment

insane finish!

Wild race

How does a car that has destroyed all year not win the championship. New points rules are dumb. This isn't nascar. Such a joke

Great racing on a rough track people will whine but thats what happens with severe rain, you adapt.

Great job MEN! Good clean racing!

Man, late-model racing is at its best right now.......that track was terrible thow

Man what a race

Jonathan Davenport and the others that were bitching because of a moist track on Saturday got what they wanted today Sunday and it didn't go their way

Ive been noticing that Mr. Carpenter prefers a track with a little…say…character lol. Track was akin to larger version of St. Louis stadium track, dont ya think. And its a shame, it’s as if Mr. Thornton KNEW he was going to break after that heat win commentary. Make no mistake, he is the CHAMPION

rtj= LMFAO :) Go Bloomquist!!

The announcers earned they pay tonight

WOW!!!

So, smith and oneil both recieved this last lap thing? In the same race?

Guess lucas announcer couldn't announce last lap for crying like a baby because his boy won the championship

I was there. Here’s my take. Ddnt race Thursday or Friday because of weather. Squeezed in what they could on Saturday,or as much as the could. Yes,the track was bad. And,after that poor cat flipped/destroyed his car in the ‘Steel Block” series,they called the night and moved everything to Sunday. Indeed, the weather was better on Sunday. Lots of sunshine allowing the officials do wrk on the trk. Hot laps & heat races went well. But,as the day went on,the track started getting rough. “Character” as the drivers say. And,every driver knew what they were in for. And,every driver VOTED for this format. Every driver knew,no matter what you’ve done throughout the season, the ‘final four’ will compete for the championship this night. With that,RTJ broke early. His team fixed the car,he went out & clocked laps. Hudson/Rocket House Car had their issues,they too repaired & continued. Yes,the #1 went dwn a lap,but was able to use a rule that’s been in effect for 5/6 years & got his lap bk after a caution. Again,a rough track,& again every driver knew. JD was WAY easy on his equipment/ way articulate in handling his ride. But,the rough track took him out too. That left Moran & O’Neil fighting for the points title AND the race. B5 was a monster w/reckless abandon tward the end. He had his eye on his 5th DWTC title. And,#1 did too. Y’all seen the video. Now,it don’t matter how much any of us bitch about the format here. LOLMS will do the SAME THING next year. Why..Because it worked! All the drama at the end…All ‘us’ typing about it etc. etc. Now,it might move to a diff track,but don’t expect this format to change for a while. JUST MY TAKE…

Wow

I hated that threr were 3 cautions but that race was cool as it gets congrats to ONeal on his first provisional championship of his career. Only which the race was on Mavtv instead of the Internet. No offense but hats off to the series now we can see the playoffs format on t.v. to learn more about. See you on t.v. at Florida-Gergina Speedweeks.😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

DIRT ALL DAY

_Yaw like my italics compared to everybody else's comments lol mines slanted lol but anyway they had all those rain delays they wasn't able to get that track prepped good enough before the last Race I think the track was better during the heat races even tho it was dusty as hell_

"Out of fuel"? how did you digest that? . Sheppard was throwing dirt to the line.

What I learned from that race is that I like Tyler Carpenter and I don’t like Ricky Thornton Jr at all, what a little punk. Got what he deserved.

Race was good but the chase format that devalues a series championship and series needs to go ASAP and DLM Racing needs to keep the gimmicky Nascar BullShit out of it

Corn field rough and a dust bowl at the same time, should have just postponed it for a big deal like this. Anyone knows there’s no saving a dirt track after a weeks worth of rain, track will always be trash.

That track is the hole they build an outhouse over. Earl is rolling over in his grave. Way to go Tony.

Best part was watching rtj break. 🤷‍♂️

This played out exactly how Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model Series wanted it to.. they had all eyes on this race. To everyone complaining that RTJ should be the champion need to realize all teams voted in this format.. it does suck for him though none the less he had a great year winning over a Million this year RTJ and Pierce will be over a Million in winnings this year.. as far and the race for the championship 4 I would make some tweaks to it. My idea is get the field cut down to 4 with say 2 or 4 races left and reset the points for them and who ever wins that 4 race points is the champion.. just a thought

#49

Terrible championship format, stay away from the stupid nascar rules.

Endurance race

Nothing like driving on a plowed field, Tony is selling the Allstars he needs to sell eldora...

Great race but Eldora is just plain trash

So bloomer was right…lol

Only way Hudson can win, the team and the car did it! He ain’t that good on his own!

Justice was served when RTJ ran Pierce into the outside wall coming out of four.

That was a great race but kinda embarrassing how it had to happen...the points system is garbage and the track was worse. Everybody keeps saying hey it was the rain when that track has been bad all year, almost every big race late models and sprints. Clearly somebody doesn't know what they're doing. It used to be in damn near perfect condition like clockwork, every race every time. Then the icing on the cake is Lucas oil apparently has the goal of losing fans and money by copying nascars failures. I'm no RTJ fan but he got screwed plain and simple. Dirt racing is exciting enough, you don't have to play witchcraft with the rules to conjure up interest. Next thing you know they'll be calling it the playoffs.

no need for lucas series to create a fake 1 race championship to have a good series or race... politics like nascar and F1 🤑... hello WoO series

_Would yaw have rather them just crown the champ with the most Points and run the last race just like any other race or the way they did it_ _let me know in the comment section_

way to ruin it, nascar rules suck.

Thank goodness I don't have a MAVTV prescription. This is BS. Hope WOO don't follow this path or I will stop watching it to!!!

I hope the Lucas oil series feels the shame they brought on themselves. They're gonna lose so many fans and I hope RTJ goes to outlaws where real champions are crowned. Championships are decided throughout a season. Not a race. RTJ earned that championship n had it stolen from him. Not by the competitors fairly not by anything but the series itself. Like nascar ruined it's integrity by goin to the chase bullshit. Matt Kenseth will forever be the LAST TRUE NASCAR CHAMPION. Sad to see them stealing an entire yr of success from RTJ. He deserved and earned that championship. Had it been a real points format not these joke resets then he would be champion. I hope the Lucas oil series feels the heat from fans and racers alike to go back to a real fair points system like the outlaws and have some integrity. After they stole a clear championship from RTJ who dominated the season I hope enough fans raise an uproar about it that they see they messed up big and are gonna lose so many fans over the points deal that they're forced to change it back to being a fair system that rewards the driver who earned it throughout the yr not hung on for the last race n only won cause of a points reset. There will forever be an asterisk beside this yrs champ that will stain the reputation of both Lucas oil and this yrs champ cause they both know deep down it was wrong and RTJ is the champ

Good race but crappy track congratulations to oneal I hope Tony changes that track this winter

Out of fuel,please put down the Crack pipe

Gimmick. Good race beside that. Stop trying to be a gimmick like nascar.

I Hate Eldora. I think it gets worse and worse every year.
