    XR Super Series $100k to win tonight

    I would never thought we'd have a $100k to win race with less buzz than this one, not one thread about this or the racing last night. I don't know how they keep paying these purses and only 28 cars showed up but it was smart marketing to have a race in Nebraska right after the Silver Dollar Nats because not a lot of those fans went to Husets this year. But its just too busy of a time to have a race like this on a Monday/Tuesday.

    Everybody is in PDC mode. Can't say I blame them, it's one of the most exciting DLM weeks on the calendar after the Eldora big ones.

          Reminded me of an East Bay Feb. race. In and out around 3 hr. mark. I liked it alot, watching a race from the central time zone that ends before 11pm eastern is great. Tonight should be pretty much the same except for all the tire cautions we're bound to see in a 100 lapper.

            That's been removed from Flo. Googling, I'm seeing flash flood risk and severe thunderstorm watch around there.

              Maybe if XR didn't block DoD from covering their events they would get a little more press. But the conflict of interest is more important than the greater good.

                This is 100% correct. Didn't want to be the one to say it.
                I didn't know that there was a race till I saw this thread.

                    DOD does cover their races- they just are not allowed to show replay videos of the races. I would assume XR wants the $$ for subscription service. That part makes $$ sense for XR; if you want to see the race then pay for their service. We went to the Kokomo 109k race on Monday after the Dream and it was really a well ran show.

                      Correct, but in a tit for tat, the 100k is not even mentioned on the '3 for the road' portion of DOD. One of the top 5 payouts of the season and it gets the same respect as an ALMS race in Michigan. :P

                        I wish XR and Flo would just figure out whatever their beef is. The only people it’s hurting is the fans.

                          I don’t understand what the problem is DOD seems to try to cover it what little they have rights to their slideshow today was five blurry pics those guys all seem very dedicated to currently mile racing so they can’t be happy about it either

                              How does Barry make $$ on a $100k to win show on Tuesday night that no one knew about? I honestly don't know one person who has XR.

                              It's telling that his schedule continues to shrink.
