Jim,
The big Selinsgrove (and BAPS) races are on sprintcarunlimited.tv You purchase them on a per-race basis (no annual subscription available) and the money gets shared with the track. It is a different model than the other PPV packages with the goal of sharing more revenue with the tracks. They usually cost 26.99 per race.

Most of Selinsgrove's 410 races are on Sundays. The exception being the Jim Nace Memorial which is Saturday 9/16. They will try to avoid scheduling a 410 race the same night as another local race. This is a new promotion team and it would be in their best interests to play nice with the other tracks and promoters. The PA promoters have done a great job of respecting each others schedules and that has allowed the bigger, showcase races to thrive.
I hope they have great success at Selinsgrove Speedway and I hope people cut them a little slack if they don't.

From what i heard Selinsgrove will not be on Sprint Car Unlimited.TV this year. They are working on a contract with another streaming platform no sure who thought.

dd was on winged nation the other day. they talked about an arms race among central pa tracks. baps is offering to add $2,000 to the purse and raffle off $1,000 to a fan if they get 1,000 presale tickets. it's a dog fight right now for business. ultimately that's what these places are...businesses trying to survive...and i wonder who will make it 5-10 years from now. it's hard to imagine what things were like when silver spring speedway was still around.
other series like high limit might be having the downstream impact of pulling away the drivers fans want to see. there's more racing than ever...but without the top guys in the area. hopefully borden, deitz, and some of these other guys can rise up to make things even more competitive. otherwise weekly shows are going to be less interesting. i've been mostly hanging around waiting for the outlaws so i can see everybody.

Silver Spring never had an issue. They ran super sportsman exclusively along with limited lates and street stocks. They were kinda on their own little island and their fanbase was very loyal. There were a lot of people who went there every Saturday night and wouldn't even think about going to Port, Lincoln or Selinsgrove (who also ran 410's weekly until 1998 when they moved to Sunday nights before going to 358's on Saturday nights in 2001) unless the springs wasn't running or something. So the 410 tracks didn't really move the needle at all for them. In fact they loved scheduling the super sportsman tour events because they always saw a significant increase in attendance because a lot of those fans went where the sportsman went. It was a totally different deal back then than it is now.

Show seemed to be an improvement but they surely need to work things out with Lincoln for the end of the year running against each others big race will be bad for the fans and the drivers..
Car count was most likely helped by all the rainouts and the three All Stars getting track time.
On another note whats up with Kasey Kane?
