At Circle city by race time it ended up being a pretty good crowd and I was hoping they would come back. What drew big crowds was the 2 Late model shows(WoO and Hell Tour) they had during the first year. Possibly bigger than sprint week crowds. I was really disappointed that Hell Tour chose to go to Montpelier instead last year. Either that or I dont understand why they wouldnt have wanted them back. With new promoters I have a feeling we may not get as much open wheel as the last promoter attempted.

Crowd and car count are not why the All stars are not back at Circle City. That ownership group did not understand several of the dynamics of the dirt world. Will be interesting to see how the new ownership group does. Give them a couple of years.

The "new" ownership comes from pavement full bodied car racing?

Thats the way I understand it, but I may be wrong. Thats why I commented that we may not get as much open wheel as the last promoters.

The new promoter at Circle City Raceway Eddie Van Meter is the current ARCA / CRA Super Series champion (Asphalt Super Late Models)

Back-to-back Michigan dates in August. A nice, mild surprise.

I have the last three nights of Ohio Sprint Speedweek in the crosshairs, myself. Too bad they couldn't get a Waynesfield date in there, but it is what it is.

Thanks for the schedule, Vookie.

Doesn't look like Waynesfield or Findlay are running.

Yes. I now see that Waynesfield looks iffy for 2023 by their track website. Thanks for that news, albeit not great.
