Does anyone know who is doing the track work and how they plan on getting the track ready in less than 24 hours? There is a pacers game the night before. And I'm assuming it takes at least a few...

Late models cost way more than a sprint car to run weekly. Maybe a WoO wing sprint costs as much as a late model, but I highly doubt it costs more. There is just more to a late model. There is more...

Chris I'd expect at least 70 cars. They got 45 or so for the summer nationals race that only paid $1000 to win.

I think the track will be good if they don't overwater it. It's been smooth and slick the last few weeks. The racing has been great. The modifieds finished 3 wide for the lead last week and the late...

Okay..I used Lucas Oil as an example. Let's go with the WoO late model series. They don't have a major sponsor like Lucas backing them.

I don't understand why sprint car races pay so little. Look at the purses for Lucas Oil late models. They run for a minimum of $10,000 to win each night and have a lot of big money shows. They...

The racing has been great for the late models when I've been. I agree they could use dirt that holds moisture a little better. But they have the banking where the bottom is competitive with the top

I think the late model feature was about the best race of the year that I've seen. Couldn't ask for much better racing than that, and what a finish haha

There is no reason to charge drivers for a transponder. If the track wants to use a transponder scoring system than I say great, it'll help speed the program along. But that is their choice, so they...

Absolutely brilliant idea with the 602/604 crate. Late model racing has developed a crate class and it has really taken off over the last few years. I think sprints could do the same.

Yeah! That's the spirit. I hope they get rid of one of the successful stock car divisions so they can run the underpowered, no-passing wing sprints. Cause we all know those stock car classes have...

Late Models run 50 and 100 lap races on a weekly basis. I would like to see longer sprint races. Longer races help show who the smart racers are and who can just mash the throttle for a few laps.

Based on years past, the track really hasn't been too bad after the 100 lap race. The mod guys put pretty hard tires on and it doesn't lay rubber usually. I'd say the track will be pretty good no...
