It is great to see them race cars there again rather demolish them. I know there are plenty of open wheel fans in Illinois, but this area is mostly late model/modified types. I know Joliet has a long history of midget racing but from my observation it was a niche crowd. The late Sante Fe speedway, while having some great open wheel races, was a legendary late model track and nearby Kankakee speedway the same. While I don't claim to know anyone of the new promotion team other than by name, it should be noted that they have deep LM roots. That being said, if the powri show up with the type of program they are capable of, it won't matter who gets top billing, the show will speak for itself. I just hope enough midget teams are up to running a track bigger than a sixth mile.
