It's great to see all these regional series opening up. I have raced the last 2 events with ASCC here in AZ. It is a blast. Can't wait for the next one.

I hear they had a packed crowd this weekend at Miller Motorsports park. Kinda cool to see Lucas stepping up to help form these venues and then let the regional series use the sites as well.

I hope it continues to grow.
