Re: USAC points question

Thanks.

I always thought race series licenses were part of the conditions for being allowed to go on the track. Guess not for USAC. Presume it's something like "USAC honors certain other series'...

Re: IMS Sold to Penske

Roger - always smartest man in the room right? - what was he doing in the early '90s? He started up a Winston Cup team, with Rusty Wallace as his driver.

Re: Kahne

Kahne had to get paid by Hendrick the 2018 season whether he was racing or not, so Kahne drove for the Hendrick-affiliated #95 car. Hendrick money is gone, no one was going to offer him close to that...

Re: Usac: Bc39 entry list up to 54 as larson, bell, bayston,

The B-main should be awesome, let alone the A.

Re: Bommarito 500

I attended as well. From parking to concessions to leaving the track, I could tell they underestimated the attendance they could get. A good problem to have for a promoter. For that reason, I'll give...

Re: Brickyard 400

Re: Montpelier

Yeah, they shuffled around the schedule. Midgets were done at 10:45. Then they ran the modified B-main, sprints and saved the modified final for last. I left after the sprint car feature a little...

Re: Montpelier

Thought the midget heats were pretty good. Some of them were stacked and you had some hardcore fights in the ones that sent Darland and Abreu to the B-main.
