I've been to two pavement sprint races in my life, The night Staab won IRP and Winchester about three years later. I thought the IRP race was great. Cars getting sideways a bit. Lots of passing.

Went to Winchester three or four years later and there were about five special cars and most of the rest weren't cars normally switched from dirt to asphalt. Only two I remember from that day anyway that were switching were the Smith Brothers. Dustin and Cory.

Anyway the Winchester race was like terrible. Dave Steel in a lowered pavement only tilted motor car lapped up to third. They had NASCAR street stocks at the same show and that was ten times neater.

Anyway. I always thought the PAVEMENT and DIRT PORTIONS OF USAC are what made it a bee line series for NASCAR and prior to that INDY. Fast in a midget on both or fast in a crown on both and you got a head start, So much so that Toyota, Red Bull, Ganassi and others would INVEST IN A DRIVER to run the series two or three years. A year in ARCA or XFinity and then Sprint Cup.

Oh well. I thought they could keep it going at least in the midgets.
You used to have Triple crown events at like Phoenix
