We attend both winged sprint car events and non-winged sprint car events. Comparing the two is foolish. The only ways they are the same is in engine size and name. They require different set-ups, different driving styles, different gearing, etc. The two versions are just different! Both are exciting and fun to watch if you just watch the races and relish the beauty of the race cars at speed and appreciate the skill and talent it takes to do what you are watching.

We were at the Knoxville Nationals, and while no one passed Donny Schatz for the lead last night (seriously, how often this season has he been passed?!?) the race from 4th back to about 14th was amazing. There were 3-5 "hold your breath" slide jobs from that group about every lap.

We've been to non-winged races that have been dusty parades, and we've been to winged races that have been side by side slugfests and vice versa. Enjoy what you are watching when you are watching it!
