When USAC announced the santioning of the Ultimate Challenge, you had to figure that the Kamp date would be in question. I honestly don't think USAC had a choice but to cancel the KAMP race. The Ultimate Challenge is a higher profile event and should help spread the USAC message beyond Indiana. Furthermore, if USAC had not cancelled KAMP and it went on as scheduled, the names that run both would have likely been at Osky. It would have watered down the KAMP event for the casual fans (who want to see the Stewart, Kahne and other teams)and would have generated more complaints.

Ultimately, tHis was a strategic business decision that USAC had to make and I applaud them for making it in January. The midget week races will still go on and we can all enjoy then in the August heat...ah heat.
