Circle City Raceway IS A GO (28) (4,705)

Re: Circle City Raceway IS A GO

This is from Justin Fiedler who does the Dirttrackr Daily on YouTube. Probably my favorite quote on this topic.

This is about as dumb as saying why didn’t you run for president to someone who is critical of a president. You do not have the familiarity Nathan has with the individual who supposedly made this...

Vermillion County, which he renamed Kickapoo Speedway, and the former Kamp Motor Speedway, which he renamed Daugherty Speedway.

I thought it would have been interesting if IMCA could have bought ASCS. That would create a “Big 3” in the dirt racing/streaming market, each with a variety of stock car and sprint car classes and...

I don’t think Attica got screwed, but I think they are definitely a victim of circumstances. Attica is the track most significantly affected by the end of the All Stars. What they lose is primarily...

It seems premature to release that schedule when 1/3 of the races are listed as TBA.

Yes, and the 500 sprint tour raced there in 2022. No return visit in 2023.

Probably has more to do with Winchester not wanting to have more than 3-4 races or race weekends a year than the 500 sprint tour not wanting a race there. I would be willing to bet the 500 sprint...

Simple explanation - Wilmot has developed a fan base with hosting the Wisconsin wingless series for the majority of their schedule. The rest of the Wisconsin tracks probably don’t have as much...

Very sad to hear that. Jiggs was always kind and generous to my family when we came to Gas City almost every Friday night when he was the promoter. He worked with one of my family members at GM in...

Seems like a good sign for the Maverick Winged Sprints. Just the first race but a turnout like that is impressive.

I’d like to see what you have in mind. I loved the Lucas Oil Late Model races Lawrenceburg used to have, which ironically went away a few years ago and were replaced by a high paying race for that...

I’m not the promoter, nor will I ever be, but I love fantasy booking race schedules. This is just my opinion about what I would try if it was my business venture. I don’t have the money or the...

Would a 10 race, special events type of schedule make sense for Lawrenceburg? Something similar to Tri-State and Kokomo.

It is definitely a stretch to say that about the school where I work. We have an automotive program that has students from 5 different schools. The teacher is excellent and some students in the...

They used the term non-wing so that show has no chance anyway.
