I recently saw on another website that Clauson got the ok from his sponsors to go to Belleville instead of compete in the USAC sprint car race at Eagle on Friday night. In that thread there was a question about USAC's rules in regards to competing against a USAC event. It was something along the lines of no USAC driver can race in a non-USAC event within a 24 hour period of a USAC event, as well as an event that is within 200 miles of a USAC show. Does anyone know the rule on this? And how is Clauson and a handful of other drivers getting away with competing at the Belleville Midget Nationals when it is competing agains a USAC sprint race? Just out of curiosity! Personally I'm glad to see them going to Belleville!

The rule is series specific in other words if Belleville was a Sprint car race or Lincoln was a midget race we "BC" would be at the USAC event. Bryan Clauson Racing will be supporting the Lincoln event as well .. Look for an announcement in the next day or so ......

It only gets more interesting. Very interested in seeing how BC is going to be supporting both shows. Looking forwards to the announcement.
My son is station for the Navy at Stratcom (Offit Air Force Base) south of Omaha. He was looking for a taste of home by seeing the USAC Sprints about 30 minutes away at Eagle Raceway. If the 2 races are going head to head I wonder what the car count will be at Eagle. I have a feeling this is gonna suck for him.

That's a tough question, because they don't usually run non-wing sprints at Eagle. So it's kind of tough to gauge how much local and regional support the series will get, when it comes to this track. At the very least you're going to have a smaller car count that's loaded with quite a few of the country's best. Levi Jones, Chris Windom, Jon Stanbrough, Robert Ballou, Hunter Schuerenberg, Damion Gardner, Blake Fitzpatrick, Daron Clayton, Coleman Gulick, Wes McIntrye and other drivers like that. Also, with this race followed up with Knoxville, Oskaloosa, Dodge City (x2) and Grain Valley you never know who might tow out to take advantage of there being a series of races. TNT usually had some surprises. They all pay $5000 to win, except Osky, which pays $15000.
Regardless, I wouldn't get too wrapped up in what the car count might be. I went to a race at Haubstadt last Saturday that had a car count of only 21. That turned out to be the best sprint race I've seen all year, so far.
