Probably the same managers as Ambac Financial Group, Wolverine Tube INC, and American Media INC had. (these all went bankrupt due to inferior management)

The answer to your question is for USAC to bring back Greg Staab to run the Silver Crown Division. When he was in the Sprint Division it flourished. He got us the East Coast swing, owners were happy because Greg was an owner/driver and he knew what they wanted. Nobody would work harder and with more passion to step in an improve/fix the problems that the Silver Crown Division currently suffers from. USAC needs to get over themselves and hire back Greg Staab. But, this is only my opinion, so what do you guys out there think of this idea?

I couldn't agree more with that. This isn't 1960's or 1970's anymore. USAC is a feeder system and has been since the mid 90's. That right there is what needs to be immediately addressed. If nothing else, go examine what WoO did and does. WoO is far more successful right now then USAC has been for 20+ years.

As to hiring back Greg Staab? USAC will never admit they F'D up royally on that deal. Of course, when you make a mistake that big it's hard to admit your wrong.
