First, you can't compare the WoO sprints to anything else in short track racing, outside of maybe a big LM race in LM country. They draw all kinds of occasional fans for reasons we've already talked about a million times on this board. But even they, the premiere attraction in dirt racing, have very few Sunday dates on their calendar, and VERY rarely try to make up a rained out Sat race on Sunday. For example, this weekend they were rained out on Saturday and even though they were in a decent area for sprint car racing (Sharon) they cancelled.

Unless FLO forced the promoters to run on Sunday, I don't think you can blame them. I also don't think there would have been a lot more interest in the event had they not been streaming. For example, I watched yesterday on FLO, but I live 700 miles away, apologies for not being able to make it to the track on a Sunday night.
