I apologize if this has already been posted, but I noticed that "Must See Racing" is now the sanctioning body of the "Payless Little 500" at Anderson Speedway.

Here's the link to the story...

Probably a good call. The USAC sanction on the race has never really had any meaning, and taking the USAC name off this race might serve to bring back some little guys who may have been scared away by the name. And, is there now some slack in the safety rules? We all know that takes some people away...

I tried to get the USAC member pit pass discount at the last Little 500 and was told that USAC didn't have anything to do with the event.

I could be wrong, but the USAC safety rules weren't enforced for that event.

There were more than 40 cars last year. USAC doesn't scare teams off, the massive tire bill does.

I just hope they have the big wing show on Wed. night again. Those guys put on a heck of a show! Plus I think that show really helped make the entire 500 field much more competitve last year. First time in a long time, there were a few good cars that did not make the field.

I have been told the wing cars will run prior to the big show again this year. AND it is going to be on TV with 11 other races in the series for 2010!

Any chance of seeing the 07 car with a wing?

Take note of wbr's current avatar. I'll bet that they'll have a car that looks JUST LIKE that, but with different graphics, and number.

If you're asking about Bowman Racing and Eric Gordon, it's all an unknown at this time. Not being a wisenheimer(sp?), it's just that 2010 is still kinda up in the air in all respects.
