Providing the rain stays away, non-wing sprints will be racing at 6 dirt tracks this Saturday.

4 tracks in Indiana, 1 track in Illinois and 1 in Ohio.

A variety of different payouts and locations... It will be interesting to see what the car counts looks like.

With 40 cars at Fremont, 30 at Waynesfield, 27 at Lawrenceburg, as well as some who didn't run this past Saturday, there is no doubt that there are a good amount of cars. It will be interesting to see where everyone goes.

This does not bode well and Im a glass half full type of guy. The norm's going to be five saturday tracks and add one or two when a series is close by.

Sounds like things are in better shape in Indiana then wing country. Both the winged 410's and 358's are hurting for cars. The Grove didn't even have 50 cars between the 410's and 358's last weekend.

It should be more like the health of the sprint car racing fans! Gas prices are so High most of us can't afford to go and drive an hour or more just to get rained out. Ticket money not wasted but gas money wasted for sure. I'm sure the car owner's are suffering as well. Whatever the case may be I don't like it! Tracks need to do a better job on calling rain outs before hand. They are doing better but there is room for improvement! Track owners need to post more often about they are a go for the night more often. For example: Posting we are a go 5 hours before racing starts isn't really that good. Because this is Indiana and just give it 5 minutes and the weather can change. If you are a Track Owner, Race Fan, RaceCar Driver or just work at a Track we are all suffering and it really stinks!! But there is 1 good thing in all this There is lots of great racing left to go in this season and we can be thankful in that!
