This is good news! Saw my first USAC Sprint race there in 1977.
I am curious to see the sanctioning groups who will schedule there in 2015....any ideas as to whom?

My most memorable race of All-Time was at Millstream more than 15 years ago. It was a 2 car battle between Rick Dougherty and Tim Allison and I think they lapped the field. Daugherty was the winner but Tim also came into Victory Lane and got his picture taken with the gang, won't ever forget the moment or race. They passed each other a dozen times or more at least and was hard to keep track of due to the lapped traffic, never saw a better race.....

I saw Steve Kinser pull in to through the gates after time trials and heat races and the crowd went nuts. Steve had to tag the C and he won it and the crowd went nuts. Won the B from the rear, and the crowd went NUTS. Drove through the field in A, got to the leader (Sammy Swindell) on the last lap and drove through Sammy in the corner, taking them both out and the crowd went nuts!! Sammy got out of his broken vehicle and walked the length of the front stretch towards Steve's broken vehicle and the crowd went NUTS!!! When Sammy got to Steve, Steve laid him out with one punch and the crowd went NUTS!!! Was the most electric atmosphere I remember at Millstream ever (and top 5 all time) and I went to Findlay every Sunday racing season from as long as I can remember (1973-4ish) till I joined the Army in 1987. I have a picture of Steve's right rear in Sammy's cockpit at the moment of impact, never seen it reprinted anywhere, it's one of my favorite pictures ever.

Went there in 1971, 1974 and 1975. In the same week back in 1975, I went to Millstream and Sun Valley(Anderson). After forty years, it's time to return to both.
