I'm not sure I agree here. The first two MSCS races they held at Florence (last night was the 3rd) had over 40 cars and they were both great shows and were well attended. The 2nd show (Ballou won it) was some of the best sprint car racing I've seen. Last night was very racy, as well. Some were running the wall, some using the cushion for a curb and some the bottom. The race for the top four was a fierce battle and very entertaining. I say Florence is a great sprint car track. I will agree that Florence is not a "Sprint Car" track, in that they don't run there very often at all, and the track is definitely not in "Sprint Car" country. Kentucky is definitely a "fendered" state! So it is a little bit harder to draw cars there. However, I also believe the timing of weather (heavy rain storm about and hour and a half, or so, before hot laps) and the dismal forecast, hurt both the car count and the crowd. The crowd was decent but, not like last years. I hope it was, overall, a profitable night for the promotor and we can't wait to run there again!
