Hint, put a wing on it.
Hows this for great racing, watching a replay of a ascs race doesn't matter which one cause they are all the same.
Six heat races, not anywhere near a pass for the lead in any race and I would bet the main will be the same.
Great stuff, lol.

And all that great racing you just decribed is on TV. Sad part is its racing is just like you said it was not a pass all night long. I watched a couple of races and wondered if me and the announcers were watching the same race. Whats so sad is people may see this kind of racing and think all racing is like that, and we (IOWers) know its not, but they have TV and we don"t, just a dam shame.

You know what, I have seen plenty of freight train lack of passing events at nonwinged shows also. Instead of complaining everyone should just support the sport of "sprint car" racing. I would atleast give them credit as they have their product on TV!

They are on TV for one reason and one reason only and it sure isn't for their excitement it's because Forrest Lucas sponsors them

^Sorry, but I get just as excited watching an ASCS race as I do watching Dirty 30..... Im just glad openwheel is getting their spot on TV. Wing, nonwing, doesn't matter one bit to me.

Maybe just maybe, Forrest Lucas is "EXCITED" about it! And with the WoO being so huge,(fan base and purse) I wouldn't be so quick to try to tear down winged racing....

Hint...just because cars are passing doesn't mean they are passing good cars

AMSOIL has been a decent primary sponsor for USAC but what I wouldn't give to get Lucas Oil onboard to get the series that much more publicity and tv time.

Then again, even WoO doesn't get the exposure they use to. Use to be able to watch races live on TNN

Lucas was already a USAC sponsor.
