It’s always funny when people don’t use facts but just opinions based on no merit. There is one support class and it’s bombers. There’s already a schedule of events posted. I’d hate to have some background on a matter before throwing out unfounded comments…

I see winged and non winged racing the same as Late Models and Modifieds, yeah modified (non winged racing) is good and all but the late models (winged) do the same thing but at higher speeds. As someone who’s gone to over 25 sprint shows this year (went to both winged and non winged) I’d say the winged racing was better for the most part. The majority would agree with me,

I thought it was funny too. Glad you liked it. Anyone who attends on the regular knows what a normal Saturday night is like there.

Your board name says it all. a little biased? I've been going to races for over 40 years. There have been some good winged races over that time but the vast majority of really good races ive seen have been non winged.

I could see this series going to tracks that the outlaws have refused to schedule, or tracks they have taken off their schedule due to pol itics. Mix in a few that are favorites of Kyle Larson and you have a 12 race series. Some will be leased by Kyle/FloRacing and others will be run by the track promoter. Mostly in the Midwest and Pennsylvania, but it will be interesting to see if they have a couple in California that Brad and Kyle have connections to (Silver Dollar). Maybe tracks like these:
Putnamville (2022)
Bubba Raceway
Grandview
Kokomo
Eldora (maybe 50k)
Wayne County
Fairbury
Lernerville (maybe 50k)
Lucas Oil Speedway (now that Flo is welcome there)

A respectful suggestion. You might want to distinguish between opinions and empirical evidence. Example, what is the majority you speak of and how large is that group. Reliable statistics require testing for reliability and validity. Unless of course you are just trolling, then science is replaced with individual bias.

I think that proximity to a NASCAR race is also important. Lucas Oil Speedway around Kansas Speedway makes sense. Larson, Bowman, Bell, Briscoe gives you a strong base to build on. Add in the true outlaws, Rico, Brian Brown, Kolfold, a couple Knoxville and maybe one of the NOS cars and it is a show. With 12 shows you can be very strategic.

I think you are onto something here. Gives these guys an opportunity to go have some fun during the week and make some extra on top of it. Nothing better than getting paid to have fun.
I would think I-70 when NASCAR is at Kansas Speedway is a good fit. Kevin Gundaker of Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, IL is right down the street from Gateway and had USAC Midgets this year during NASCAR week. I can see him booking a show. Since Larson and Sweet already promote Silver Dollar Speedway you know there will be a race the week NASCAR is at Sonoma.
I found it interesting that Tony Stewart let them have their press conference at Eldora with the Eldora banner in the background. Tells me that the All-Stars will support some of the shows.
