Wow I was actually at 6 of those. Good job on finding that stat.

I was wondering about the Champ Dirt Cars, but over the years, the majority of races have been on Saturday, Sunday, or Labor Day Monday. Fridays, was the Hulman 100 for years in May, but normally later in the Month except the first few years.
