According to social media, the A-main's last year pushed off around midnight. It is a shame because this killed any interest I had in attending this event as a special show.

By Larson's own admission, his mechanical skills are not as good as his driving skills. Where some drivers will give the condition and suggest a change, Larson just gives the condition and lets the...

POWRi will sanction anything that will pay them a sanctioning fee. They have completely watered down their brand. I am waiting for the school bus sanction.

How about a $40 GA admission price on Saturday?

This is going to be an either or event. Either the promoter is going to make a lot of money, or the prices is going to scare everyone away. $600...

Why would Flo produce this show when any $10,000 to win Lucas Oil Late Model or $10,000 to win High Limit show would have better viewership ratings that the SC show?
