Spridge tweeted that this article wasn’t confirmed through USAC prior to publication.

Tweet from Spridge

Just to make my phone go quiet, USAC never agreed to or guaranteed anything for the dates of January 13-16. The Speed Sport story is not accurate & nobody checked with anybody here.

Chili Bowl was too big 15 years ago; see how things work out maybe...?

What about if (a) Silver Crown race was on Sunday??? What if it paid more???

Would love to see the old Copper Classic format minus the trucks I think I remember seeing that first truck race on TV, !995 rings a bell and I think skinner won? I didn't care for the trucks much in those days, now I watch them once in a while to see open wheel guys that get a ride

Pavement Midgets on a mile (plus) is dead, let it go. Paved Sprints on the mile is shocking to me that they think they can make it happen; I thought sprints on that big of a track was dead also.
But run silver crown, run the NASCAR regional, run the late models, run the trucks, run the Indy Lights and Indy Cars as part of it. If you can get a group of Super Modifieds to run, run them. Run the sprints if you can.
If you are running for 3 or 4 days; the way Pavement formats are run 10 classes.
