If you are in the central Indiana viewing area, set your DVRs (or watch live) as several USAC stars preview "Indiana Sprint Week" tonight (Sunday).

10:30pm: WISH-TV 8 - Justin Grant

11:15pm: RTV6 (WRTV - Indianapolis) - Chad Boespflug & Max McGhee

11:30pm: WTHR-TV 13 - Jerry Coons Jr. & Aaron Farney

Check it out!

Make sure to thank these stations and ask nicely for even more USAC and Indiana Sprint Car coverage in the future!

Just watched channel 6 with reporter Brad Brown interviewing Chad & Max, kudos to the interviewer and the station for doing their homework and having great video. Brings great media attention to our sport. Next, channel 13.
& channel 13 does great also with Coons & Farney, highlighting Farney's T.H.A.T. sprint weeks victory last year and bringing attention to the big .25 USAC midget event at I.M.S. next weekend.

I noticed during the showing of the sprint car videos, they had the audio of midget week playing in the background. I thought it was funny. Pretty cool to see some actual promotion of sprint week!

Only the hard core race fans, like us, would notice that one. But like you said, great to have positive promotion for OUR sport. Hope they follow up with a wrap-up of the event at the end.

Good stuff, maybe it will draw out some new fans this week. Glad to see Jerry Coons recognized as a Champion in all 3 USAC Divisions.

Watched all 3 this morning. Excellent job by all the stations and the drivers. Whoever coordinated those appearances deserves a pat on the back. Let's hope it sparks interest and we get some new folks out to the races.
