Before USAC adds a bunch more dirt races (and continues to put the strain on their teams to follow the series), they need to strengthen the dates they do have, and continue to pursue making it a true two-surface series, because the pavement has been dwindling....

What brand to they have right now to really promote this sanctioning body is a shade of its former self.The asphalt part of the series is almost to a pathetic level they could only pull 15 or 16 pavement cars to the last race they had and most of the shows for pavement barely had a full field of cars there anyway.They need to take the better part of the series on dirt and push hard to expand that,they used to come to Little Springfield speedway and race there.Here is the simple way to look at it they are based in Indiana and do not have a major paying race in there home state at all that along is just awful and after how many years of sanctioning races are they up to now.
