Just saw that Atomic will have the Ohio Sprint Car Series sanction all their races next year ,that was one of the featured tracks for the All Stars along with Eldora and Attica and they had the year end race.

On IB Racing Silly Season so far only two signed up for next year know Blaney is still ride hunting what about the rest?

Susquehanna already announced a race along with Port and a series in New York ad the Grove ,Lincoln,Grandview and Selinsgrove plus Bedford and the Western Pa. tracks you are soon half way to the 50/60 races they want to run.

Is Tony moving more towards Pa. and less in the midwest?

Most All Stars from Ohio do they want that many trips to Pa.?

I wouldn't worry too much about it if Atomic does not have the All Stars next season. I know that it has been featured the past couple of seasons and I have gone to almost all of the races but the fan turnout there compared to other tracks just seems low to me. Do not know if that is the actual case numbers wise as far as money goes as they always payed a heavy purse at least once a year. That typically is more late model country than anything down there and from a business standpoint, if they can bring in the same amount of fans with OSCS which the promoter of Atomic owns as well then it makes sense on that end.

It does suck from the stand point that more often than not Atomic always had great racing but the last race there was a wreck fest with the way the track surface was and the rain that happened that week. I am sure that they will have plenty of races still in Ohio between Eldora, Wayne County, Attica, hopefully Waynesfield and Millstream, and who knows may Fremont and them can work something out again. Could potentially see some Indiana trips again as well.

Driver wise, I'm sure a few more will join the fray as the year progress'. From the looks of it it appears that Tony maybe trying to keep the schedule balanced as much as possible between Ohio, Western PA, all the way through central PA. May entice some drivers outside of Ohio to run the full series and make it even more competitive. 

From what I understand, oscs is sanctioning the races that were formerly Weekly 410 races eliminating Atomic's points fund. Atomic had both OSCS and AS shows last year, I'd be surprised if they didn't have at least one ASCoC race next year. In fact, there website mentions a speed week date not yet set.

Calm down and let it play out.

Losing the low rider will be a blow, but I'm not sure it'll matter all that much. As long as they bring 10-12 cars, they should be good. I would think Stewart would run a bunch with them and that will bring in fans.

Atomic says on their schedule that sanctioned races have not been added yet. I am sure the All Stars will be there a couple of times. I am just curious if Fremont and the All Stars have mended their fences.

They lost Dale and Hunter racing put a poll on twitter asking where they should run.  I don't know how valid it is, but the poll had All Stars, WoO, or Ohio local races.  There was a post on here a little while ago about Lil Haud wanting to run WoO.  The All Stars can't lose all 3. 

Like I said on the original post it looks like the All Stars are heavy on the Pa. races ,look for Marks,R. Smith and others to run all those races If Haud does get the backing to go WOO,iI wonder if Greg Wilson might go back to the All Stars,Pretty sure Hunter and Chad know where they can be on top again.
