I've heard a few grumblings that Atlanta Nat will get canned and replaced with another Indy the weekend before the US Nats, I don't think it will be a Sportsman Attended event because Bowling Green D3 event is that weekend. I've also heard the rumor after the US Nats the season would be done or also heard a Double National at Dallas and then season over. I honestly can't see Maple Grove, Charlotte or Gainesville happening with the restrictions (IN PA) and new spikes going on in each state.

I just know that if that's the case they need to make an announcement soon on what they're doing about the Lucas Oil National Champs. I mean how do you crown a National Champ when it's all over the place. I know they did the adjustments mid-year for how much you can claim but, I'm sure they didn't expect every race to be at Indy and technically the only Nationals that have been run for sportsman so far have been Pomona, Phoenix, Gainesville - pre virus and Jegs Sportsnats at Columbus and you'll have one in D1 next weekend in Epping and maybe the US Nats. I'm sure a few people would have adjusted their schedule to attend more or less if they knew what was going on. I mean like poor D6 has had one Divisional and no Nationals and D1 has had 2 so far and it might be Epping and VMP from here on out but, just doesn't seem right to crown a National Champ over this mess of a year.
