When this race was initially announced it was only a POWRi event, no mention of USAC. Infact USAC dropped cosanctioning with POWRi during the season because USAC wasn't going to be the officiating crew.

It's just like USAC to do this. I never saw any mention of POWRi on the Speed Report or Speedtv.com in relation to this race, only USAC. USAC was only interested in this race when tey figured they would get on TV and the event was going to be big. Remember the Pepsi Knoxville Nationals? USAC only came along when the event started to get attention.

USAC is a parasite. This was POWRi's chance to get some national press and USAC stole the thunder from them.
