Anybody heard anything else on this? I remember it was big talk after the TNT Tour.

ASCS Lucas Oil National Tour is not changing next year, there has been a lot of talk about the TNT Sprint Bandits (part of ASCS sanctioning) going to a full schedule next year though

Just more anti-USAC rhetoric from Emmett. It'll be the same basic 4 or 5 races it was this year.

I'm pretty confident it will be more than the usual TNT tour, but it's surprising that we haven't heard more about it. I think some of the additions will be in Texas (Houston, Devils Bowl, etc.), but I'm thinking this will not be quite the magnitude we originally heard. And that's not a bad thing, if you ask me. More races, especially in that region, is a good thing...trying to cause havoc and taking away from the USAC National Series - not so much. That's just my opinion, of course...

Heard him interviewed during the Western World webcast. He is planning 30-40 races with "sprint weeks" in Texas, several in the midwest and one in the Ind/Ill/Oh area.

The non wing 410 sprints are on the schedule at Houston Raceway Park for 01 May.

I believe the track at Chandler, Ind., was originally on the schedule last year, but it never materialized. I believe a sale of the property did not happen.

I'm in favor of more non winged races in TX. I still like the wings, but we get a lot of those and not so much non winged.
