I realize the Original SportsNationals were on that date ,but I was referring more to the recent revival of it by Jegs which was in September and afforded a lot of us another chance at National Points.

Jeg's did not "revive" that race, nor was it run in September. Jeg's simply began to sponsor it, for which we are extremely grateful. The race itself has been held on that date, continually, for a long time, and it was healthy enough to take a lot of cars from Atlanta at times.

Sorry, but Jay, Division 3, and Bowling Green did not spit in anyone's eye. That race has been a Memorial Day weekend tradition for years.

The Jegs Northern Sports Nationals was contested in Columbus for several years in September. That race only returned to Bowling Green last year.

Well, here's the deal, Bowling Green has hosted a sports national race for around 40 years (hosted the first ever sports national, if memory serves correct), most often, especially for the last couple of decades, on Memorial Day. Last year, and again, we are very grateful for it, Jeg's decided to sponsor the well established Memorial Day SportsNational race at Bowling Green, that had been held at that track, on that date, for a long time.

So, no, with all due respect, Division 3 and Jay Hullinger did not spit in anyone's eye, nor did they move the race. Jeg's merely decided to sponsor an already very well established race, the original sports national, that had always been held on that date, at that track.

Is it sad that it conflicts with a race at Maple Grove? Sure. However, that is no reason to accuse Jay, Division 3, Jeg's, or anyone else of "spitting in anyone's eye", nor is it a reason for the Bowling Green race to move to another date.

I understand how you feel, but again, with all due respect, I'm going to have to strongly disagree with your position.
