All in all, I think finding that balance would be good for the sport and get more people to the tracks and interested in local track racing. One good thing about the sprints is that it's not beating and banging (mostly) like it is at Bowman Gray.

I think another good thing would be to focus on multiple tracks. Get racers that travel to be the stars of the show. It would be different and it would give much need publicity.

I couldn't think of a better place to do a sprint car reality show than in Indiana. We sure have plenty of great tracks to choose from here.
I agree. Esp with the traveling part. The avg race fan does not understand how much of this sport is spent on a road getting to the track.

From someone working their butts off all week getting the car ready and then on race night tearing up or not making the feature. To the shear emotion of someone getting the victory. If such a show was ever made it would for sure be on my TiVo.
