Messeraul ran 3rd last night at Jacksonville in a 40 car field.

It's going to be interesting to see how he progresses in a winged car.

Remember when USAC ran some winged races back in the late 80s..???

Yup. Remember one year USAC started Spring Eldora Winged and ended Four Crown Non Winged. Also Jeff Gordon's win at Florence Speedway was Winged.

I figure Flo is bankrolling the High Limit shows to some extent. They could help out if they wanted. In any case, I will still go to non wing shows, they are often better racing, and I’ll go to wing shows too.

FLO is a minority owner of the High Limit Series. 50% of Streaming income goes into the High Limit purse.

Hoffman put money into Brady’s team to be listed as the owner, thus continuing the Hoffman Auto Racing’s Legacy

Rob Hoffman put some money into Bacon’s deal after Richard Hoffman (Rob’s Father) passed away. The idea was to continue the decades long Hoffman Racing legacy

Been two other drivers carry the HAR banner as well. KTJ and Chad Boespflug.

USAC will continue to be a viable series and will continue to attract drivers. I would suspect that as some, like Bacon, try the wings (again), others who haven’t found winged success will move back. Additionally, there are young drivers moving up from the mini-sprint and tq ranks who can’t jump into the wings who will go traditional sprint racing, and even if that’s not specifically to USAC many do run several USAC races.

Post title should have read, Bacon finally figures out how to run TC in wing car, decides to transition for the 3rd time.
