here's my view, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!!!! The Outlaws and AllStars done this for the "point money". Good Year ponied up more cash than Hoosier. The really sad part is unless GoodYear spends ALOT of money on the local tracks this is only going to hurt the car counts in both series. The local guys aren't going to spend the money to buy GoodYears when they have a trailer full of Hoosiers. The AllStar Mid-West series will really suffer they depend on the locals more than anybody, and for 2,000 to win who's going to spend 400 to 600 for tires. The other kicker is GoodYear isn't giving out any tire deals. I was told this by an AllStar driver that knows what he's talking about at the last Terre Haute race. All in all I see this as a bad deal for every body fans, racers, track promoters Every BODY!!!
