Agree with alot of everything else being said. I am a big fan of any dirt racing, love late models and love sprint cars, winged and non wing, but that is just it, sprint cars arer winged and non winged which is basically two different kinds of cars so that has split up the cars and split up most of the people. Late Model car counts are declining some because of the Crate option which has eliminated some of the mid to lower level teams. Promoters take less of a gamble on a big late model show because regardless of when you have it you are guaranteed a solid car count because there are so many of them. A big sprint car show has to draw either the outlaws guys or USAC drivers or you are not going to get more than the same guys that always show up at your track, which basically makes it a normal show which wont draw any fans other than the ones that are already there. Non wing sprint car racing is great in Indiana and California and but very few cars anywhere else. and it will never get better until USAC changes some things, and we all know that probably wont happen.
