Seems to me that this whole wing/nonwing argument is a bit stupid....
It's racing....
It's sprint car racing....
It's on TV....
Who cares if the stands are full or not? Who cares if the racing is a bit of a freight train show?
The Nationals have a 50 year tradition, and they have always paid the teams the best purse...if USAC fans would turn out in the numbers seen at Knoxville over the years, they'd likely have a "national" event. And while the Oval Nationals can be seen by some as a "national" event, its purse(12K or so to win) pales when compared to Knoxville(150K to win).
Complain all that you want to, its your right... but you cannot knock the success of Knoxville and the Nationals....You can dislike the racing, but like I said...it's on TV, it's sprint car racing......And how can that be bad?
