These 5 reasons come strictly from a spectator perspective.

#1. In my world there is nothing more beautiful as seeing a good driver gas it up big time and back it in on a well prepared dirt track.

#2. A whole flock of good drivers in evenly matched non-wing sprinters backin' 'em in inches apart on a well prepared dirt track. I know the wingers race just as close but it appears, from the grandstands anyway, that the cars with the wings are somewhat more predictable than their non wing cousins.

#3. The simple aesthetic beauty of a sprint car without the rolling billboard bolted to the roll cage.

#4. The delicate throttle control that is very often needed to be fast in a non wing sprinter.

#5. The crowds that frequent non wing sprint shows are generally somewhat less inebriated and more engrossed in the actual racing than at winged shows. That may be an unfair conclusion on our part and our intent is not to offend the wing fans, but it seems that way to us. The good hardcore fans of most any genre of racing are almost never the loud obnoxious ones.
