As far as making the sport more popular, I don't think short track racing will ever be as popular as it was during the post WWII era. Midgets were racing in front of 100,000 people at places like the Rose Bowl and Soldier field. Kokomo back then would draw 17,000 for races. It was cheap entertainment, drivers made good money and raced 7 nights a week in many areas. Be careful what you wish for.

First off, I know next to nothing about the business of sprint car racing, winged, wingless, or upside down crushed wing
Second, at the risk of jinxing the whole shebang, I hope this works out for all concerned
Third, with the same "Anti Jinx Disclaimer", hoping good luck for Mr. Funk & his hellacious medical issues
