I also agree that some kind of television deal could help in getting out of this rut. On occassion you can tune in to Speed and watch some good dirt late model racing and if you're lucky some World of Outlaw racing. But more often than not you'll find trailer figure 8's and lawn mower racing. If this caliber of entertainment can make it on television, why couldn't some of the most exciting racing on the planet (dirt and pavemnt non-wing sprint cars) make it as well. When I was growing up, Thursday Night Thunder was the thing to watch. It allowed us big open wheel fans to see our favorite drivers take part in some of the best racing around. Creating a larger fan base through television could be the ticket to fill the grandstands. Just my opinion.
