Call them whatever fills the grandstands with fans.

My new job takes me all over this wonderful country and when I have time to talk racing with the locals, EVERYONE is interested in seeing the "sprint cars that don't have wings like the ones they race in Indiana". Most recently I was in South Carolina, what I consider to be the hot bed of stock car country, and the folks there were more familiar with (traditional, non-wing, USAC) Sprint Cars than the people in Dayton, Ohio were last fall.
This form of racing is special and needs to be preserved, promoted and expanded. I am at a loss like the rest of you on how to accomplish that, especially in todays tough economic times.
