Fall Nationals replacement

[thinkstomuch]

Where will UMP conclude it's points season since the Fall Nationals aren't at Eldora this season?

my bet is nowhere.
no fans come with the questionable weather, may be cold, may rain, may snow.
I suspect Eldora has been losing money on this deal for years.

well it used to be a Saturday Night and Sunday afternoon show. But Tony Stewart decided back in 2006 to go to a Friday Night and Saturday Night show. Ever since they lowered the pay for Super Lates and went to the new format and when they went to 3 days the car counts and fan counts got lower and lower. Heck back in 2003 to 2006 they had 140 to 170 mods and 65 to 80 super lates. In 2007 they had 79 Super lates and 140 mods. Then 2008 to 2012 they had 50 to 60 super lates and 115 to 130 mods. Now 24 super lates and 80 mods. Very sad if it is not broke don't fix it.

How about Lawrenceburg, that would be cool !! Add Lates as side...

I wonder if they would eventually use the race before the world finals at charlotte

I'd hate to see the race go away, but I've been the past several years and it's going to be hard for a track to make $ running the race.

many weather issues for this the last few years.

Agreed Eldora was losing on the deal. Weather and format seemed to be the challenge. I do like the concept of a final race and it being the only point event that weekend. I don't have a dog in the hunt though
