Any news or even rumors as to who might be promoting Bloomington Speedway for the few shows on their schedule? Been going to Bloomington Speedway for almost 50 years. Very sad to see what appears to be the beginning of the demise of this track.
The I 69 project has had to have hurt Bloomington. Don't think Paragon switching to Friday was aimed at helping them either. Hard for me to get there on a Friday, but will be there for Midgetweek and Sprintweek.
I agree, Funk. A good friend and I were just talking the other day how the I-69 construction is literally killing Bloomington Speedway. How many people each week, fans and competitors, just say "Screw it" because either they don't want to deal with the headache, or they can't leave early enough on Friday afternoon to compensate. It's really sad, honestly.
I69 has made a big difference for us. We make it there 20-30 minutes earlier then what we use to a couple years ago.. So i disagree with the fact that I69 has hurt the Speedway.
Rumor I heard was Bloomington was going to run some PowerI races, Usac did not like them getting foothold in Indiana so USAC leased track..and with Spiker taking over Paragon, his only real option was to move it to Friday..so he could run both and not against each other..
