If I were USAC, I’d create a new triple crown where Kokomo Smackdown and the Sprint car portion of the 4 crown each paid $25k to win, and you rotated the 3rd event to Knoxville, Williams Grove and some other historic track.

I think Central Pa. would actually work out better than Knoxville. Eastern Storm always gets good crowds, & I've met plenty of Pa. guys at Kokomo, etc. who were getting bored with wingers. On the other hand, I've met locals at Knoxville who had no interest in "traditional" sprinters cause they were "too slow". How was the support for big USAC races at Knoxville a couple of years ago? Series dropped, no?
