I-55 Ironman will be much more exciting now. Two more divisions to help out the person who gets the largest chunk of the purse ... the Hoosier tire dealer.

Calling it now Tyler Courtney jumps in a non-wing and dominates Volusia. If he doesn't do it Volusia is a Justin Grant type of track if USAC allows drivers to crossover.

I believe this is all about DirtVision. Subscriptions have leveled off. They are attracting plenty of wing people, but without a doubt Flo and MAV have way more marquee events for late models. To grow they need a new product to draw people they don't have. That is all this is about.

Have been following this development and will admit to some trepidation. We already suffer from the idea that more is better which often dilutes fields, spectators, etc. Another sanctioning body for top of the line non-wing will only exacerbate the problem of too many governing bodies and tracks going after the same participants and fans. Reading between the lines this, as others have stated, probably has much to do with streaming services, and at least some dissatisfaction with USAC. I have never known any sport to do better with competing leagues. Can you say USA/WoO, AFL/NFL, various attempts at competing with NHL, USAC/CART/IRL, NASCAR gobbling up everything in sight, etc. The eventual outcome is one group, usually the one with the most resources, devours or at least absorbs the dying remains of the others. I hope for the best, but am not sure it bodes well for the stability of non-wing racing.

It's funny to me that there are so many posts about the state of non-winged sprint cars and how it should but isn't able to compete with winged cars in terms of attention, purses, etc.. Now you have the organization that helped create that divide now investing in the sport and everyone is "afraid".

There isn't room for 2 national tours but this won't be a true full time league. It's 10-15 races. If it's a precursor to the WoO taking over USAC, so be it, but it's not what this is for 2022. This is an organization with deep resources and good marketing investing in a form of racing that alot of people love, but can't seem to grow.

Enjoy it for what it is, which is the biggest thing to happen to this form of racing in many years.

Why don't they just run some sprint car shows (nw) as part of their national championship? Woo that is. As for dirt vision, they are way overpriced compared to Flo and mavtv. Truly blessed that flo is so inexpensive for all they cover. I hope napcar doesn't ruin flo as they did to arca.
