With some of the NASCAR drivers that come to run dirt races every once in a while or so. One that sticks out that would be cool to see run like a sprinter again would be Jeff Gordon. Thoughts or other drivers that people would like to see a sprinter.

Someone here will suggest a well known driver, which will then be followed by one of IOW's finest stating "they wouldn't have the balls to drive a sprint car.". The other direction this usually goes is with someone criticizing Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, etc. for ignoring their roots or not giving back to the sport.

That would be interesting. Carl Edwards hasn't been in an open wheel car in awhile

I defiately would like to see Gordon back here in Indiana...he was one hell of a sprint car driver

And I would like to see Smoke run without the wing as well. What would be awesome is if some of the guys could make it to the big 3 day usac show at Kokomo. Id love to see a bunch of cars and a lot of guys with wings take it off and make an appearance.

Ricky ran the Chili Bowl this last year in a BCI car. He looked great.

Id like to see Clint Bowyer in a non wing. We know he ran mods so how about a non wing.

I bet most of the drivers named have a clause in their contract that forbids them to drive an open wheel car and especially a non-wing sprint car. Smoke can do it since he owns his own team and can do as he pleases. He's got the best of both world's going for him.
