Nights of Destruction are the biggest crowds by far. Out draw sprint cars by more than 2 to one with a much smaller purse.

Not survival mode, Chuck. The boss finely got tired of losing money on stock cars shows. Got rid of two classes that were not pulling their weight and added the other three to sprint car nights on an alternating basis. As far as the dam project goes, it has not started. And who knows if it ever will! They announced three or four start dates going back a three or four years and they never get going. Heard two or three months ago, and not sure how true it is or not, the state had not put the jobs out for bid yet. Still 14 or 15 years left on the 20 year lease that Oval signed a few years back. As Don stated, “if they ever start the project, we will work with them as best as possible. We are not shutting down.”

As of yet, I do not know. I would think unless they up the ante, probably will not be back on.

I get that. Don's gotta do what he's gotta do.

I see it here. The destruction night/monster trucks sell the place out and then some. Got no problem with them it it keeps the oval portion going.
