Maybe the Indiana track better start thinking about taking away their USAC dates of Indiana Sprintweek and Midgetweek????
This is all a good rumor but if true will dump the apple cart and open the door for the TnT series to take over open wheel racing.
Emmett Hahn has said he wants a 30 to 40 TnT series paying good money next year. This will make that easy to do.
More to come I'm sure.
What do you think of this???

These are just my thoughts, seems to me I followed the Benic Hauler a couple of times during the TNT tour this year and saw it at a couple of races also.This dispells that one?As for EH, well we pulled into Rock Rapids IA on that Sunday, I asked about racing,I was told K-ville was racing, oh too much rain here, hmmm, cancelled. OK, on to Lincoln, raced there, Tuesday off, raced Wednesday @ OK City, on to Creek County Thursday, talked to EH there early in the am, no problem we are racing tonight,guess what cancelled. Oh well I don't think TNT will "take over" open wheel racing.
However if not for all of the teams based out of Indiana, IMO the TNT wouldn't have maybe twelve cars on the average every night.
