WOW! What a change in 10 years

In 2015, there were at least 6 tracks running non wing sprint cars on a weekly basis. Bloomington and Gas City on Friday nights, LPS, Lawrenceburg and Paragon (not sure if they were weekly in 2015)on Saturday night and Kokomo on Sunday night. With LPS still to announce a promoter and schedule, there are no tracks running non wing sprints on a weekly basis in 2025. This isn’t a criticism….just an observation. A promoter HAS to schedule the events that put paying customers in the seats…I get it. It’s just a shame how the the racing scene in Indiana has changed.

Aren’t Bloomington, Paragon & Circle City running sprints in 2025 on just as much of a weekly schedule as the tracks you mentioned in 2015? Kokomo too.

Circle City is running sprints pretty much weekly but about half the shows are steel block not 410's. They do match up pretty well schedule wise though with Bloomington giving steady Friday night racing even though it at 2 tracks. Maybe there was a method to the madness

It's not accurate to be sure But Bill G has 2013 listed with 233 drivers running a indiana non wing 410 race.

I think the most i figured up running any one night last year was about 90 which included BOSS or USAC running near by.

Does anyone do a master schedule for Indiana 410 wingless? I know the Usac master is put out but would be interested to see one strictly for the Indiana tracks running sprints.

TJslideways always does a fine job of creating a master schedule.

I normally do one for all DIRT Open Wheel events in Indiana (Sprints, Midgets, & Micro's)
