It won't, It can't and it shouldn't.

Most drivers and owners have full time jobs and the availability and funds to race 30-40 times a year. We've had big sponsors come and go. Red Bull, Chevy, Dodge then Chevy Performance and Mopar Perforance

USAC hasn't gone bankrupt like Both the All Stars and WoO have althrough they tried like hell with the Speedway Champ Pavement car and a giant book that wouldn't sell for close to cost.

That being said, USAC and Speedshift brought in sprint car racing to Flo and should stop being treated like the red headed stepchild. It'd be great if they chipped in and made something like all the Master of Going faster races 15k to win 1k to start or something.

As far as talent? Look, You got about five in WoO that are going to win 90% of the races. Think it's about the same in USAC and honestly THE overal show product is much better. As someone else said, Show up for the feature at a winged race because the rest of the show is hot laps.
