I agree and disagree with some of your purposed answers Mr. Butler...It will take a lot of work to make sportsman racing a large spectator draw, but it can be done...Instead of the Ashley & John show, tell the spectators about sportsman racers that bust their *** all week to play on the weekend. But I like how you push your new classes as an answer to sportsman problems, but I know I dont have a $150,000 SS car to run in a heads up race where the most money always wins!
The best approach is to educate the spectator on bracket racing instead of just turning everything in to ego-fed heads-up racing...It never helps when the announcer at a national event says "Coming up next is Stock/Super Stock, Now would be a good time to visit the mid-way and get a hot dog" !
And I dont know if anyone else has noticed, but most of the pro stock guys are getting shafted on post round interviews, instead we get to see ashley cry and hit a cone, or selzies kid drive a go-kart, or kenny bernstien tring to hire everyone elses crew! BUT...Its only an opinion
