It seems pretty obvious it’s Husets.
Yea I gotta agree with pennsboro on that one. That race at Huset's was a good one, bringing the SDN and a good purse will surely bring more than 18 cars next year.
Combine PDC/SDN
Have at Fairbury
Lucas/woO co sanction(yah right also bought some lotto tix tonight)
Just saying they should work together a little more
To me it’s over. The name might go on, but Kosiskis won’t be involved and it won’t be at I-80. It’s dead to me. Husets will probably get the date, but you can’t run the passing point format on that track. The support won’t be there from a fan and car count perspective.
Quiring might have a lot of money, but he can keep it in the sprint car world.
jeez husker dirt! in the immortal words of ron burgundy... "well that escalated quickly"!
I figured it was just a matter of time before HD popped a gasket. Rightfully so. My condolences.
Like losing a good friend…..I get it.
Maybe like losing yer only friend. Not much out there west of the Mississippi.
There isn’t much out west of here. The dirt late model world stops at I-80. This is why the event struggled in recent years getting a really high car count. Yes, we are devastated, it essentially wipes Nebraska off the dirt late model world map. When big events came to the state, they came to I-80.
Not trying to blow a gasket or be a d!ck. It seems some don’t know what kind of impact this has on our state for racing as a whole. It’s a death blow.
It’s gonna come to Davenport, IA. We would get way more cars than either I-80 or Husets just cuz we’re 600 miles east. Fairgrounds are huge and could easily accommodate this event. Either way it will find a great home. I personally hope it’s Davenport because I can see the track lights from my apartment downtown. Home games are nice.
I didn’t mean 600 miles, I meant to say 6 hours east.
Common sense puts it in Davenport. Awesome facility with a promoter that is tied to late model racing. Husets is push and flip country, with no room for camping. Farther for me to drive, but really believe it would be a better choice. But who really knows if these 2 tracks are even in the running for it?
The brutal heat at I 80 didn't help, but we were there for every event. I'm not a modified fan but those lare model USMTS were great. Jackson Mn./ Husets would be cool combo, Davenport Ia. be great too less travel for teams.
would love to see junction motor speedway come back to life and see the race there.
Junction couldn’t handle it. Too small. Also it’s too far west.
Davenport (the town), does not seem too friendly to events at the fairgrounds
Davenport would be a great choice. Excellent seating. Big fairgrounds. Great fan base. No brainer here.
Eldora 😜 …. Please no
Flyboy: have you ever been to a race at Eldora?
What do you mean the town isn’t friendly to events at the fairgrounds?!
jackson, mn
Davenport and the Quad City area is hungry for SLM events The fan base is huge and believe me the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds can accommodate an elite event. I understand a new concession stand and sky boxes are being planned to enhance the facility in the future.
I feel the same as Husker for the same reasons. Not "blowing" up here. It's just something the Kosiski's started and won't be the same anywhere else. Remember when Covid was a bigger deal and there was talk on here about moving the World 100 elsewhere since Ohio would not allow large gatherings. Same difference in my opinion. Wouldn't be the same anywhere else. I-80 speedway is a track that will never be duplicated. Something about that track that the Kosiski's had perfected. I never saw a bad race there. Super sad to see it go, but the Kosiski's deserve to enjoy life after what they've given to racing. They can move it wherever they want to, but it won't be the same.
Agree Maestro. Won’t be same as I-80. Loved that place. Just feel it would do better in Eastern Iowa. However current tire issues are now cancelling shows. Hopefully we don’t have issues for the big 3 day show.
Going to Osky next Monday for the Front Row Challenge. Awesome place.
Outside of Lucas Oil Speedway or Knoxville is there a track in the eastern part of the Great Plains or that area that can hold an event of that magnitude?
I know Boone has the pit space and land; but are there other tracks that are a possibility?
Davenport Speedway could easily host the event.
It’s not going to go to a track that already currently holds a Lucas “crown jewel” event such as Knoxville or Lucas oil speedway.
I think the racers would form a union and protest if they scheduled another race at Lucas Oil speedway.
#33 zyoung25: why do racers not want more races in wheatland mo?
Hopefully it goes to Davenport. That place rocks!
Curfew at Davenport would be an issue.
It’s gonna be Husets.
I 70 would be a great place but the way they blew the first Lucas race there I wonder.
eldora already has 2 crown jewels. everyone has been there, done that. i've watched husets on flo and it looks like a neat place, but it is far away and i don't think it is late model country. davenport is closer, plus it would be a lot less driving for the race teams.
