    Summernationals trending down...

    Man after listening to Feger on last nights DoD Videocast it sounds like the tour is not going to have one regular. He said neither he, Babb, Shirley, or Heckenast are happy with the schedule and I cannot blame them. They are scheduled against a monster week at I80 and other high dollar races. They seriously need to go back to 4 weeks and a tighter schedule.

    I agree, 27 races in 30 days.

      And without these bigger name drivers, fans won't be packing the stands. I for one refuse to pay the SN admission prices to see what amounts to a weekly show.

            WRG views the Summernationals (and all of what used to be UMP) as their minor league. It has gradually happened since the sale of UMP to them, but this is where we are today.

              PPV is where the money is at, this longer schedule will prompt many to pay an extra $39 for another month of Dirtvision; could be another $200-$400K for WRG.

                Maybe at certain events. Guys are just going to pick and choose what works for them.

                  Most certainly is. Show me a SN race that doesn't pack the house. Fan attendance has been going up every year. Parking lots don't lie. Every race should be 10g minimum.

                    The summernats are a bloated mess and have been for years. It started off as 10 races in 12 days or whatever it was. They need to get back to that.

                      Last year they said they hated the break. Then they do the same thing this year. The drivers told Sam what they wanted last year in there interviews on DOD

                            Just listening to Feger talk about anything or following him on Social Media will put anyone into a state of depression.

                            Just remember if there is 5k up for grabs 27 nights and a points reward at the end, there will be someone there chasing it. That series is bigger than Feger whether he wishes to admit that or not.

                            Really wish DoD would get away from the IL boys and Busch Latte Boom!

                              I think 28 races in 32 days is fine it's ridiculous that drivers have to travel as far as the schedule is this year especially for the $5000 to win they need to shorten the distance they go out
