The one year that I went with decent weather and great car counts, the race was incredible. It was the best races of the year. At some point, the owners have to look at risk/reward. They have put themselves at risk plenty of times for the Gold Crown and the reward has yet to come. While I would be disappointed in the Gold Crown stopping, I would not be surprised. Tri-City has definitely put in the effort to make the Gold Crown a success.

I'm also disappointed that the Gold Crown is going away, but agree with Jonr, the Gundakers gave it a solid good try
