Im no expert and teams have their reasons. I don't think it's the track as much as USAC and some talking head announcers making it worse than it is. The tracks had a lot of runnoff lately (Cushion and Shane's kept the dip smooth at track exit) Boss had 23 and there are lots of drivers who like to go fast and teams. They just want to be competitve. In USAC. It's hard, very hard to crack top ten at bigger tracks. THAT had a poor count as well. Ballou's hurt. Hughes was running for MSTS championship. Bacon doing the wang thang. Coons went a different route while he has been running good in USAC. He wanted Cale to do the Dry Slicky and get experience.

I chatted with Shane a bit at BOSS show and he seemed open to running a couple more sprint dates next year. But it's gotta be something that cars will show up and a decent crowd will come. USAC Nationals had a decent crowd. Car count. I put on mostly USAC. Im not bashing it. It is what it is. The to 10-15 NW sprint race teams and drivers in the world. Not the only tops series having car count problems. There's been several HL and Outlaw shows barely pull full fields.

MSTS and BOSS should call Burg. Setup something. Maybe one show each and a Nationals battle of the states........... Put Circle City Fri and Burg Sat. Give bonus to highest in each.

Just ideas. It is what it is.
