I don't think the car counts have anything to do with Dave Rudisell. As a promotor, I just don't think you can do much more than Dave has done to accommodate both fans and racers. It's my honest opinion that it is the track itself. I believe the smaller tracks are safer, easier on the equipment and more fun to drive. The way things are now, they are pretty much flat footing non-wing sprinters around L'Burg. Another factor is location. Many of the Indiana tracks are simply closer to home for many sprint car teams. With the economy and fuel costs at the current level, it becomes more difficult for a racer to drive past one race track to get to another.
