It's the law of supply and demand! If you have a good show, there WILL be interest. Regardless if it's pavement or dirt.
USAC has done NOTHING to make it better on the pavement side, more affordable to get more cars, well thought out promotion, etc.
And ultimately, that fault lies on Kevin's shoulders. Again IMO...
Check out the attendance for the Little 500. That is a pavement race. And I am certainly happy that it's out of USAC hands now or that race would be doomed too.
Poor, poor leadership. And greed!
