You know, if Don parked down with all the sportsman racers then he would draw a lot of spectators down to the boondocks and see other cars and develop interest in the sportsman ranks.

If other elder ex-pro drivers race in S, S/S will they increase their coverage to at least cover their runs? Then they would have to explain to the audience all about indexes, dial-ins, and head starts, etc.

This might turn interesting.

If I remember correctly, ESPN did some coverage on Jason Line in Brainerd when he raced in stock. Now this is way bigger than that, in my opinion, so I would assume there would be some coverage.

Can't wait to see it. Good Luck to all in Indy.

I have this feeling that the blower CJ's are going to be getting the most attention w/the #'s they put up, rather than the Challengers...Like was said previously, Tasca's CJ has been running consistent 9.80's up here in New England for the past month, and there are going to be maybe even some better ones than theirs at Indy this wknd.... I may be completely off here....that's why they line 'em up, right?
