We did a lot of research before making this decision. Another thing to note...a pro late model purse is far less than sprint cars. In actuality it is less than the UMP Modified class. We have to look at what is in our region and nonwing sprints are primarily in Indiana. It is not often you will get 18-20 cars to drive by 2-3 other tracks paying more money to come race. As we have said...there will be 6-8 races for the non wing guys in 2015 as well as a couple of winged shows.

You appear to be a man with a well thought out business plan. I predict you'll be successful and hope you will be.

Thank you Jerry. My father and I are far from new to the racing world. We have done our homework for sure. We were racers first and we want to make things better for both the racers and the fans...unfortunately there is no money tree growing on the property so we can't run every class. But we will do our best to bring a variety of quality racing to Route 45 Raceway in 2015 and beyond!

There was a lot of sprints there because all other tracks were rained out and guys wanted to race. The purse was a normal weekly purse which was good but a lot of people on here thought it was a special event . I think if they. run a special event purse they CAN draw a lot of cars. With sprint car specials I will be going there a lot more. BJ I hope you have a lot of success
