You know, 55, after reading what you wrote here, I am starting to wonder if there is a different motive here.
Take over non-wing sprints and knock USAC out looks like a possibility. But how about this angle:
Do not threaten USAC's reign on non-wing racing. Especially in the country of Indiana. Let them keep doing as they do, but start bringing non-wing sprints into the WoO/WRG shows and see how many drivers might want to cross over and run both wing/non-wing portions of the shows. I think it might actually HELP the WRG side by not trying to snuff out USAC. Non-wing fans are pretty much all aligned with USAC. Why alienate these fans? Let's just try to get them to come on over, watch a little wing/non-wing stuff, pad the gate, and pad the coffers?
At first I thought of this as a Gumout Series v. All Stars deal. But the more I think about it as I actually have the time to think, this could actually make things better.
At least for the short run and this doesn't turn into a game of Risk (a.k.a. World Dominance).
