Not sure that makes much sense. F1 has no billboard at all and is the richest and most popular racing in the world. I think this has to do with other factors like the series promotion. WoO...

I get that, I prefer Mario’s 69 winning car though it did have some “spoilers” above and to the side of the engine.

Those Lightning’s were butt ugly in my view, many others that were more pleasing to the eye.

I don’t think it is necessarily GM’s vision to be all electric, it the governments vision for GM to be all electric. Consumers certainly aren’t there at this point.

It would seem better to recognize DD at a bigger event next year with more fans in attendance. I wasn’t at the Klash but have attended in the past and typically a relatively small crowd.

Fantastic. It wasn’t long ago that I read about the death of SC. Not sure exactly what changed but USAC has apparently done something right.

Trey Osborne

Anyone know much about this young man? It was great to see him show up with a car on an open trailer and be so competitive. He won a heat race Friday night and made the feature all 3 nights. I was...

The counter argument is that much of the country doesn’t care about sprint cars if they don’t have wings. IN supports sprint cars just fine, that is precisely why there are so many races here.

Grant might deserve a call out after spanking folks on dirt then getting a third on pavement one day later.

Reminds me a bit of Brad Sweet when I first saw him racing at Kokomo. Was always fast but put a lot of cars in the fence before he figured it out.

Yes, but not a lot of jockeying for position amongst the top 6 or so except for the problem Cummins had which dropped him out of the top ten. There was very little passing in the heats. It was...

It wasn’t the best night for passing, track was so heavy, but still entertaining. Hard to believe how much moisture was in the track after such a hot day.
