The real problem with SC racing is that they have no following, yes, a few on IOW love them, but they draw small crowds at most venues that are not paired up with NASCAR or IRL.

Why would any 1/2 mile track owner want to have a $45,000 Champ car race when he can run a $7500 sprint car race?

Then if they do have the $45,000 race people ***** because the purse has not went up in the last 15 yrs.

Did anyone pay any attention to the crowd at Springfeild? A perfect weather day and very few in the stands.

There was a question about the track at Springfeild not being prepaired properly? Some have no idea!!! There is no way the state of Illinois is going to allow mud slung all over the fair goers!! There is no way they want the cars going fast enough to end up in a baby stroller on the midway! Some just over look the obvious?
