Head over to Hoseheads, find the thread "Best week of sprint car racing poll", open it and vote for "Indiana Speedweel". It's running a close 2nd to the Knoxville Nationals. It would be funny to see it win.

And, yes, I know it's Sprint Week, but what can you do?

Dick.

I'll take the points racing of Midget Week witht he Sprints

I'm tradin' my Knoxville Nats vacation for Indiana Sprint Week this year. Two buddies are doing the same. Tacky dirt bull rings and REAL sprint cars have always been at the top of my list.:applaud: Better racing, more tracks and shorter drive from Florida, sorry Cappie but your off my dance card! The only problem is I'll miss the side trips to the Indiana tracks on my way.:doh:

Yes it would be funny, Kinda like the wangers winning a lot of the big money non-wang shows.
Why is it non-wangers dislike wangs, but the wangers will go to non-wang show and have a good time. Me I like them all, heck I`d go watch marbles run down hill if thats all there was.

They win one big money show and we never hear the end of it
Most of the big time wingers now will not take the tops off unless they raced non-wing when comming up the ranks or are looking to advance their carrer

Why would a winger want to strap on a wing and burn off a tire and hurt their motor?

I`m not a walking encyclopedia but rest assured it is more than one.

I am also curious as to which "one"? Was it Jac Haudenschild at the Million or one of his other wins sans wing, Steve Kinser at the 4 Crown, Travis Rilat at the UC, Jesse Hockett x2 at Lakeside or one of Frankie Kerr's many beatdowns? Much respect, but I could go on...

like Bill W. said much respect to the traditional guys...but besides the ones mentioned let's not forget guys like Dave Blaney, Danny Smith, Sammy Swindell, Kevin Huntley, Rob Chaney, etc...all guys that have won either big races or championships without wings...

...not trying to start trouble, but it is just foolish to say, "They win one big money show and we never hear the end of it"...

I've also thought it was curious when a lot of these "winged guys" either started in traiditional sprint cars or modifieds. I could put together a whole science fair project for you on who does what, and where they do it, but what does that get us?

Get over the debate. I've realized that you all look like fools no matter which side of the situation you're on....

I think a lot of it depends on the track they are racing at. Rilat ran ISW back in 2003 and didn't do very well. The USAC guys whooped up on the Sprint Bandits at Memphis back in 04. Shane Stewart and Lil' Stenhouse in his first ever wingless race did put on some great runs that night. I think it's safe to say that the top two finishers at the Million had more laps at Eldora than anyone else in the field.
