I think the only draw will be "Smoke" fans and his name associated with the series. There are short tracks all over the country with races every Friday and Saturday night during racing season. "To me", I never was drawn to the IROC style of racing. The premise was always "if you put 12 drivers in 12 identically prepared cars, it will prove who the best driver is". That's b/s. Otherwise, the winner would be the same every race.

I'd probably watch the races only because I like racing and may have a particular driver to root for. But to say this idea is something revolutionary and different ... well, I just don't see it. It's IROC racing IMHO and IROC couldn't even survive with the huge draw it had running on tracks like Daytona. It just fizzled out and died on the vine almost 15 years ago due to lack of interest (they couldn't even secure a sponsor). I just don't see it lasting for the long run once the initial interest dies off.
