Me and the wife were having a beer, talking about summer activities, as life long sprint car, midget folks we discuss things we read, here and there. We have not been to a race in 6 or 7 years, Ocala, FL is the closest track with any kind of racing we would be slightly interested in. I tell her about conversations I see here on IOW about aging crowds, young people not following the sport, etc. One of our biggest gripes is main events won from the front row, I jotted down some recent USAC sprint car results and correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what I found. 05/31/17 at Perris, CA main event was Brody Roa laps 1-10, D. Gardner 11-30 -06/24/17 Perris CA main event laps 1-30 R.J. Johnson, 07/22/17 Perris, CA main event laps 1-30 R.J. Johnson. 07/28/17 Watsonville, CA Ocean Speedway main event laps 1-30 A. Liggett. 07/29/17 Kansas City, MO Lakeside Speedway main event laps 1-30 B. Bacon. 07/30/17 Moberly, MO. Randolph County Raceway main event laps 1-30 T. Courtny. 7 or so USAC sprint car main events with no passing for the main event win? I know sometimes there could be a battle for the lead and lead changes during a lap, etc. But does this have to do with USAC and how they line up cars for the feature? I hate handing over $50 or more bucks for a couple of adult admissions, and seeing little to no passing for a main event victory. Just curious.
