Probably not. The guys who run Butler run Butler and pretty much no where else. When Hartford was at its best sprint car count wise it was the late 90s. They were drawing them from Ohio. Plus, the GLOSS series was running and that brought in good 410s like Boston Reid and an even younger Kraig Kinser. Even back then, it seemed like the cars that showed up at Hartford were not the cars that were showing up at Butler.
But, you start waving around some big bills, like $1500 to win, you will start getting some attention from the racers. We'll see if the late model guys bite.
Either way, good to see Hartford up and running at a full throttle again.
