That craft breweries and distillers would take an unhealthy interest in sprint car racing a start sponsoring some big races. For that matter with the legalization of marijuana in many states some growers and dispensaries. Great way to promote a startup business

It is already available. The product is called calcium chloride,It comes from the earth naturally.The nature Nazi's will not allow dirt tracks to apply this to their surface. Next thing will be no table salt nation wide!

that drivers cared more about the owners, and didn't give those half ass sliders.

First oil, as I recall, the gravel roads were even getting treatments of that, then calcium chloride, but we were told it made the horses hooves soft, so that went away, then came liquid soap, I'd hate to say how many gallons of that I put down, then all of a sudden it was gone, too expensive so we were told. I have a hard time believing any of it, but looks like water is it, and if it's coming from a nearby creek, it's got more dust in it than the track had to start with!

My wish is that race associations would go a harder RR tire instead of these ugly skinny tires, all they do is burn up & add cost to the teams Like a Champ car RR tire w/ no grooving allowed, it'll take away the high HP engines & we'll see who can drive over those who can stab & steer

More fans from every generation. This should (I emphasize should, not would) result in more money for promoters, resulting in improvements to tracks, higher purses resulting in more car owners getting back into racing, bigger fields, more competition, and a host of other things.
