Anyone at the banquet last nite? Was announced no more lucas oil part of ppl or no more PPL? I havent gotten a straight answer yet
Kinda what I figured. But already seeing people be like there will be no more ppl.I was not at the banquet. Best I can tell from another site is that Lucas Oil pulled out. Apparently this was a planned deal and they already have somebody else taking over. Supposedly the announcement is coming soon.

I don't see any take over announcement, to my knowledge Lucas Oil was the parent owner of PPL, " Lucas Oil Products announced Monday it has decided to discontinue its ownership and operation the league" .
We will have to see how things pan out...I didn't care for PPL management, IMO the dirt's already on the PPL coffin, It will require a resurrection of PPL at this point.... Lucas oil CORP not foolish either , its likely Lucas sent out Private invitations for acquiring PPL. Seems clear to Me " Monday it has decided to discontinue its ownership and operation (of) league" No announcement on any future takeover, it's also speculation on My part that Lucas would still support , and be a BIG sponsor and advertiser with the new Organizer, promotor, Owner ETC.
Anyone think it may be because they don't want any liability for EPA pressure due to off-road-type vehicles not running emissions? That's what came to my mind....but I'm just an outsider with zero PPL experience or knowledge.
The only thing I know for sure is that a group of private investors have reached out to PPL and Lucas Oil about a potential strategic partnership moving forward but nothing likely will happen before Jan 1. Announcing it now gives the opportunity for something to be in the works prior to the end of the year. As far as John and Kristi go, I have always had a good relationship with them and always appreciated everything they have done.
This has been speculated across many other forums and although a possibility, knowing the Lucas Family and some of their actions I would doubt that would scare them off. I think this was a pure financial decision but just speculation on my part.

Everyone has their Opinion, If anyone acquires PPL it will require changes, I don't care how the changes Happen..... Mears clearly targeted our Products, Holding hands with our competitor. I have no problem with connections, It's when those connections are for sole propose of promoting 1 companies product(s). So ask yourself with this type of practice(s), can any promoter survive...... PPL did NOT....
