I hate to say it, but I think the big loser in all of this are the fans. Especially of Ohio and Western PA.

I guess that "weekday filler" thing has become full competition with WoO.... plenty of Friday & Saturday events

The Night before Butler on Friday, May 31st I hope is Hartford Speedway in Michigan. Their grandstands are certainly big enough to host a show and the fans there usually support the big National tours there with darn near full capacity crowds.
P.S. I know it's just my opinion, but I hate they shortened the 1/2-mile track to a so called 3/8's. It's still bigger than a 3/8's. It was never a 1/2 mile. It was a 5/8's. Before they shortened the track, I had a sprint car clocked at 150mph just past the flag stands on the old track a number of years back

Sandy, I’ve been told that Eldora is actually in Indiana and Sharon is in Pennsylvania. Also Nate I never heard the big track at Hartford called a half. Everyone I’ve ever talked to about it called it a 5/8th’s

They used to refer to Hartford as the wicked 1/2 mile as the tracks nickname. It always made me laugh 😂. We all knew better. I wish it still was a 5/8’s. All those folks who said they would come and race there if the track was shortened was a comet crock. We all knew they were just saying it for really no reason. I like the folks who run the track. Tim and Leah are good people but they ruined that track after they shortened it. Just my opinion.

However, I-96 Speedway DID have a smaller quarter mile infield track prior to all of this that worked just fine. I watched a All Star Sprint race there one night when the big track could not have been run in due to too much rain earlier in the day. Circa 1996, I think. Joey Saldana won it driving for Art Wendt.
