Jerry Gappens, promoter of Gas City, received a call last night asking if he would be interested in hosting a couple Pro Sprint races in 2019 as they are trying to race at more tracks. If you look at his schedule this year, he had 12 different classes of cars compete throughout the season, trying to bring a diversified schedule (non-wings 410s and and modifieds as anchor classes plus rotating super streets, thunder cars, compacts, D2 midgets, open midgets, winged outlaw 600cc Micros, TQs, etc.) to his facility, which has worked pretty well. His Great Lake Super Sprints (GLSS), ran in conjunction with his weekly 410 non-wing sprints and did well, drawing 37 cars. Give him credit, he didn't run the same four divisions every week.

However, as this thread points out, there is a need to try to make non-wing sprints more affordable for competitors and promoters. Steve Sinclair and his NRA non-wing crate motor cars are enjoying great car counts and doing a good job with this up in Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan. Keith Ford found a niche for low-cost sprint car racing at Paragon as well. Engine costs are probably the number one reason so many sprint cars are sitting idle in garages and barns around the state!
