If this is actually going to happen, it is truly a monumental occasion, and would likely boost attendance of the event to 100% capacity on both nights just by itself. Leave it to the driver with the biggest swinging set ever to regard racing on one of the most lightning fast tracks in existence with no wing over his (sprint) head for the first time in nearly 20 years as good fun. And could Haudenschild possibly be able to let someone else do this and not also join in "the fun"?
Also, one would expect the Kinser merchandise machine to print up about 2000 "limited edition" non-winged t-shirts which would promptly sell out by about 1:00 AM Saturday morning.
Wouldn't Jimmy Jones be a natural to help out the pit crew on this weekend, since the MPHG car is shelved?
Even as I am not going to be able to be there, I would hope this event takes place, because the odds that Steve Kinser throws off the kite, takes one day to dial things in, then makes the top traditional sprint drivers bow before him is a greater possibility than his being an also-ran in the event. Let's never forget that there is no driver in all of sprint history that can diagnose a track quicker and find the fast way around than The King, and has the guts to chase that fast way No Matter Where It Is.
And the car he owns would be the best piece of equipment on that track, without exception.
