I think it's cool they're thinking outside of the box and are open to ideas. Hopefully nothing that encroaches on the race in Du Quoin though!
Agreed about Du Quoin. Its an established event that people seem to like. Hopefully if they do anything over at the dome they can spread the date out a bit more.

There are very few fans and even less drivers who would have to choose one over the other either way but there must be some reason.
This will not be an issue next year. The race in St. Louis is moving to November 29th and 30th and December 1st.
The date for the 2018 Knepper 55 has been changed from Friday December 14th to Saturday December 15th on the USAC website.
Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
