I attend racing for the competition/entertainment and the constant rivalry between drivers. Agreed without Larson/Bell it still would be great racing. BUT...I have heard and seen comments regarding the "Ho Hum" feelings of fans attending recent Midget Week and Ohio Speedweek. My ear will be to the ground as Indiana Sprintweek arrives. As series, races, and contenders transition, so will the marque events. It is as natural as "What goes up, must come down". In my days it was Foyt/Andretti, Larry/Gary, Opperman/Weld, Vogler/Gordon, and Kinser, Swindell, Wolfgang to name a few. Larson/Bell are definitely on my list. Change in the Chili Bowl is inevitable and natural as Border Wars, Twin 50's, Thursday Night Thunder, Eldora Nationals, Buckeye Nationals, etc. We should all hope that the changes at Smackdown will pump more excitement into that event. The Chili Bowl will need to evolve with or without Bell and Larson. What that looks like, only time will tell.
