In one of Sargent's first years of promoting Springfield he added STREET STOCKS to support the still prestigious Silver Crown race which drew over 50 cars and a mostly full grandstand! And in the process had to move up the starting time for practice to a ridiculously early hour. I believe the year was 1992. He was a stock car lover who apparently cared and/or knew nothing about the history and prestige of that type of racing. His track prep is the most boringly predictable the miles have ever seen and translates to boring racing almost every time, excluding the first year of lights at DQ. Sargent is not the answer, just another part of the problem. Couple that with 2 very poor rule decisions by USAC, an aging fan base and more and more years removed from when these races were part of the old Championship trail. Most people today don't even call them Championship Dirt cars....which is what they actually are or were. How do you fix all this? You can't. Just enjoy what's left while you can, if you can.
