It's a coin flip for me. Both have their nuances. But bottom line is that each year we get to see the champ cars on a dirt mile it is the epitome of Americana racing and history. It's a race of tire and fuel conservation and yes the dirt, tackiness, cushion or lack there of all go into how the race comes together.

And this year at Springfield is special. Everyone is sick of the pandemic and all the trouble it's brought to our friends and neighbors. But Sunday afternoon we are going to get to see some of the best of the best in USAC along with two of the greatest open wheel dirt talents of a generation in Gravel and Larson. Should be a good one.
