I love all the assumptions on here. This is what really happened from what a USAC official told me. Bob Sargent did say something about trying to make the races better and one of his ideas was the split race. It was not supposed to be brought up at the meeting. It was just a conversation between promotor and sanctioning body. No more, no less. It was discussed before the race at DuQuoin, so it had nothing to do Brian winning both races. And it has nothing to do with any drivers or car owners. It was a guy saying, hey, what can we do to make these races more exciting? Why cant it be left at that?
