USAC hasn't done that since 2010.

Thank you, wasn't sure if it was still in effect or not. Been awhile since I've been to one.

You watch this race and you will understand why they run 50 laps!

Fuel only, no changes to the cars. Save tires, run what you started with!

Maybe sprint racing could use a clock like the NASCAR trucks, if you don't get a red in 3 minutes, they throw one. That should create drama

Had the race been 30 laps, Schatz would have won by Half a straightaway. The break added drama, whether it was a "sprint" car race or not, it was a great race.

50 laps on a half mile track is still a sprint in my opinion. Hell of a race last night, just wish it had been a week earlier so I could have made the trip to see it.
