Interesting, as from what I "hear" the promoter @ Brownstown never would pay a sanctioning fee to anyone. What has changed his attitude?
As Arte Johnson used to say, "Very Interesting".

Many people were amazed with the consistantly high sprint car counts they were able to get with such a modest payout. The sprint car counts were in the 40's and 50's for the majority of the Bell Helmet Shootout Series.
One must ask, why did so many sprinters decide to support the Vermilion Co. Speedway? That question was ask of me many times as I worked over 40 shows at many tracks through-out the Midwest this year.
My answer: I honestly believe it is the way Bill & Jean treated the racers. Bill personally going from trailer to trailer to thank the racers for coming. Jean sending a thank you card to the racers following the race. Their efforts to find sponsors for givaways during the drivers meeting. And probably most of all, their willingness to listen to the drivers concerns and suggestions.
I also have to give a lot of credit to Steve Thomas, Racing Director for Bell Helmets for his support of sprint car racing, not only at Vermilion Co Speedway, but in all of the ways he contributes to our sport.
I have to agree with some of the previous posts. I would love to see Bill & Jean Nelson team up with the Bob Sargeant / Kenny Schrader team to take over as promoters of the Terre Haute Action Track.
Best wishes to Bill & Jean in whatever endeavors they pursue. Thank you for your efforts, hard work and friendship. :checkered:

I must agree with this wholeheartedly. I really believe that things happen for a reason, so maybe the Action track is for you guys, Bill.
Regardless, best wishes in all your future endeavors.
Peace & love to all.
God bless our Troops at home and abroad.
INDY1808 SEE YOU AT THE RACES !
