Nice move NASCAR!

Another fine short track race gone. One of the few races left worth watching!

Lucas expects to renegotiate naming rights deal after track loses its NASCAR races.

This truly makes me sick, as the previous track caterer, my company was hired by GM Bob and Eileen Daniels to do all the hospitality catering for the Kroger Speedfest back in it inception in I think 85, we grew that event into what it has become today " One of the best on the circuit"
The economic loss to IRP, and Hendricks county is huge, not to mention the campgrounds across from the track that are always packed will now be empty next year, There are many business in the Clermont and Brownsburg area that rely on this weekend to "Make their Year" along with the US Nationals, Just goes to show that when Nascar product is becoming stale and the Indy Car product is on the upswing, Nascar is making stupid desperate moves that are NOT going to work, I believe this is going to Blow Up in their Face, but the damage will already be done.

I personally would like to see USAC run a Silver Crown,and Midget show against NASCAR on Saturday,I believe most or all of the open wheel fans would be there instead of IMS.
