Lawrenceburg and sprints

This is not bashing anyone but what does Florence having a big late model race have to do with anything about Lawrenceburg racing? Its not taking any fans because most of the Burg is sprint fans. Does not take cars, Burg doesn't race late models. I am just looking at the schedule and see very few sprint dates left.

Maybe Dave giving a favor to mscs for we can get that two day show back in October next year. It's not it but one could only wish as this was my favorite weekend of racing for many years. Always loved making the drive from Evansville to Lawrenceburg in the fall and then two days of racing in them fall crisp nights 😀

If you look at the sprint car schedule it's a good thing the Burg is down this weekend. Cars will be thin this weekend the way it is. Use off weekends to branch out and see other tracks. Now off to Bloomington we go!!!

He scheduled around the T storms that will deluge IN-OH the next four days.
Knew it would happen 8 months ago when the schedule was made up so he saved you the travel.

Well, my thought is:

USAC Silver Crown is slated to run at Salem so some guys will be running those
MSCS is slated to run at TSS
Weekly shows at LPS and Paragon
Plus Knoxville is going on

Additionally, I love sprint cars but I like LMs too. You'll normally see me at a sprint race but with Lucas Oil Late Models nearby I would rather go see them since they don't race near me too often. I'm sure I'm not the only one that may have a similar thinking so they very well could lose a few fans.

I don't blame them one bit.

Believe it or not, it does hurt the fan count big time. Even though it's late models. Same with the World 100.

Dave is on vacation at Sarasota, FL. visiting the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Museum.

Sorry Bozo, just had to do it.

Why did Nascar take off for the Knoxville Nationals?

TV deal with NBC broadcasting the Olympics. I know quite a few NASCAR regulars that saw that off week and got a big grin on their face when they realized that's the weekend of the Knoxville Nationals.
