I mean no offense to anyone, but in my mind that is not progressive thinking
I just cant understand why you would think that a race weekend that had been previously established that was a 4-5 hour drive away from Knoxville would be expected by some to move their date because its "Knoxville". I dont think you even get that now for the winged nationals and obviously it is a much more established race than the Corn belt race. I'm hearing the Corn belt race will be moved and the BC 39 race will be held the week of the 4th next year since the Brickyard is moving to that week. I guess a premier event at IMS is more important than a premier event at Knoxville.
