Adding Scott isn't because he has a chance to win, its to get a % of dirt track fans to watch, and it'll work.

Plus they got their hometown hero racing in Brian Brown.

I don't think Brian Brown is racing the srx series event.

[Barbecueboy]

They just put more butts in the seats ......win.

Unless something changed he's running both the srx and the 51 truck at knoxville. https://speed51.com/knoxville-track-...x-opportunity/

[NeedforLM$peed]

I see. I thought it was just the truck race. Who is the local then for Eldora?

[WisWildManFan]

I don’t think each track has a “local” just guest drivers. Eldora has Kody Swanson and Scott Speed.

[WisWildManFan]

They have a dirt late model driver, dirt sprint car driver, Usac driver, and a rally cross driver. I could see them adding a Travis pastrana, Ricky Carmichael, Jeremy McGrath at some point.

[Rajflyboy]

Jeremy would be a great addition. I know he did some training in a sprint car in order to help him with his closed course off road truck racing.

Hmmm. Ahh. Yes

[Mod Runner]

For sure it will work. I want to see how Scott does. I will watch.

[3 wide]

He is only going to be in one race the one at knoxville

[vande07]

meh...

to me, he doesn't move the needle for the "casual fan" that this series is trying to attract. Will a hardcore dirt late model fan go see this instead of a late model race that weekend and increase the front gate? My guess is no.

To move the needle and get more butts in the seats a much more widely known name is needed: Jeff Gordon or IMO, they should try to get Mario Andretti out of retirement for a one-off event (he may still win even at 80 years old).

As far as being competitive? I would say everyone will be competitive due to the cars being equally prepared. If one car drives like a dump truck, they all will.

I'm sure Schrader will be giving all these guys lessons on what to expect. With all the cars being set up the same and the talent behind the wheel I predict a crash fest. 12 start 4 finish

[nc mudcat]

Crash fest? Maybe, but I'll go the other way. No rubbing at all. Passes will be clean, so we don't have to rebuild cars every race. This deal shows interest, but not in a big way. I'll watch a few, but won't be too excited when I miss one. Lot's of money spent on cars for a series unlikely to make it to a second season.
