Why should regional Indiana promoters even consider it. Indiana regional racers have an al a carte menu. I am not even sure money is the biggest issue, see Paragon. Money for the teams is an issue, but why put up more money if you don't have to for a track's perspective. If we want higher purses for premier national tour then the an upgraded tour sponsor is needed. Which comes first the chicken or the egg. Typically I find non-wing much more competitive and exciting and is where I spend my money, but other sanctioning bodies outside of non-wing racing seem to find $. Marketing seems to overpower quality competition.
