7/19/16 10:11 AM JULY 29-30 SPRINTS AT TRI-CITY REMOVED FROM 2016 CALENDAR
http://usacracing.com/news/sprint-ca...-2016-calendar * JULY 29-30 SPRINTS AT TRI-CITY REMOVED FROM 2016 CALENDAR The United States Auto Club is cancelling the originally-scheduled two-night July 29-30 USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car races at Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Ill. “We have decided that, due to MOWA Sprint Car events at competing tracks in the region, it would be in our best interest to forego these events and not divide car counts and fans alike,” said USAC Competition Director Levi Jones. “We look forward to the October 6-7-8 “Gold Crown Midget Nationals” which will feature the USAC National Midgets at Tri-City,” added Jones. The USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car series will resume in late-August with the “Sprint Car Smackdown” spectacular at the Kokomo (Ind.) Speedway. A pair of USAC-sanctioned “special events” will precede those races, August 20 and 21 at Brandon. S.D. and August 24 at Kokomo. * |

Wow... what a bummer. This show was one of the highlights of our racing calendar this year.

I'm really disappointed. Most local fans can see MOWA all summer long. A USAC sprint race in Illinois is a rare commodity.

No Jerry, that MOWA sprint week has been on their calendar for at least since the Spring I believe. Maybe USAC was concerned about car count. I don't know

This sucks, had planned on this weekend then on to Midget Madness. I guess I don't get it, what the h... does MOWA a Winged Series have to do with the car count or fan count at a Non Winged USAC Series?
Yes ISW ended Sunday @ THAT, but the teams that run USAC I'd think would be ready to race again, that's what they do as with MOWA or any other series. There are two sides to every story.

This makes no sense at all.usac would get 20+ cars even if a track near by is running winged sprints definitely a head scratcher.
