Interesting post on the TSR Twitter, must be from the banquet tonight

USAC National Sprint Car Series schedule will be all dirt events in 2011... 37 events ... season finale at Perris Auto Speedway.

I think this is going to make an interesting 2011 if this is true. I wonder how many guys might make a run at a championship with now not having to finance a pavement deal. Should be interesting.

It seems as if lately their attitude is why be unique, when we can be like everyone else. If it is only 37 shows, there are going to be some great local and MSCS fields that's for sure.

Just checked last years schedule and there were 38 dirt races and 7 pavement shows.

I look for the Little 500 to sprout wings in a couple of years.

I sure hope not. If it does I will have to find something else to do that night. Never been to the night before the 500 at Irp.

It may have made them unique, but it's what might have made them extinct! It's near impossible to run both surfaces anymore. Why try to force the issue when it clearly was not successful? Let some pavement series
form or maybe USAC can form a pavement division separate from the dirt.
