    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.

                  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.

                          Those would be way down the list for an event of this magnitude.

                            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?

                              I don't think Boone has enough seats for an event of this magnitude.

                              Lucas Oil Speedway and Knoxville could certainly handle this type of event.

                                Davenport Speedway could easily host the event.
