There's only 3 Central PA tracks that run weekly, you can't put western PA into the PA Posse equation. I am not sure how many tracks run weekly wingless sprints, but it's more than 3. But the biggest difference in Central PA and Indiana is....to Posse fans sprint cars are the pinnacle. They love them and will support any big race around. No matter the sanction, WoO, All Stars, non-sanctioned whatever. A perfect example of this is last night. Non-sanctioned Steve Smith Sr tribute at Lincoln. $19k to win, packed house, other than Pittman and Thorson, not a national name to be found. All Central PA guys, packed house.
There are alot of race fans in Indiana, but the sprint car fan base is smaller. Some may be passionate about pavement, others dirt. Some are living in the past and want it to be 1977 again. Some are focused on IndyCar etc... But there's not as large a sprint car focus as there is in Central PA, which is why those tracks can thrive and be successful.
