Have been following this development and will admit to some trepidation. We already suffer from the idea that more is better which often dilutes fields, spectators, etc. Another sanctioning body for top of the line non-wing will only exacerbate the problem of too many governing bodies and tracks going after the same participants and fans. Reading between the lines this, as others have stated, probably has much to do with streaming services, and at least some dissatisfaction with USAC. I have never known any sport to do better with competing leagues. Can you say USA/WoO, AFL/NFL, various attempts at competing with NHL, USAC/CART/IRL, NASCAR gobbling up everything in sight, etc. The eventual outcome is one group, usually the one with the most resources, devours or at least absorbs the dying remains of the others. I hope for the best, but am not sure it bodes well for the stability of non-wing racing.
