Why not a Sportnationals at St Louis ?

Lyn Smith · 10-07-2024, 04:09 PM

Since it sounds like there might be 4 points races at St Louis next year, why not make one of them a Sportnationals so us racers in the midwest can have a chance to run class at an event near us. Maybe we could just have a points race with class? I think Div. 5 does has a points race with class at Brainerd since the National event there does not have class anymore.

I would think the fact they already run class at Jeg's Sports Nats and Indy (both D3) would deter them from scheduling class at another D3 event.

Each division usually gets just one opportunity for class, sometimes 2

Just my .02

MJ There could be other sponsors for this race. I suspect there are many racers who have the contacts to give a presentation to them to sponsor the "
Super Sportsnationals" is just a matter of being active on behalf of Stock and
Super Stock

The original Sportnationals was in Bowling Green for years. Then in Indy for a few years. Not that close to the Jegs outlets.

Also didn't they have one at No Problem this year as well?
