The new trend at ASRS is one that is a great news for anyone who loves racing and hates riding around under caution. Cautions are down at ASRS in 2010!
With more drivers attending events than in the past several years, the ASRS scored a victory in two categories. Car counts have been on the rise, while the cautions are less than half of what they were at this time one year ago in the All American Series (the entry level of the ASRS ladder).
The addition of the ASRS TheCrewShirt.com Cup Series and the resurgance of the ASRS Camping World Truck Series coupled with a bit of a revival of the All American Series have added up to a great combination for ASRS, which prides itself on it's short track roots and speedway excitement.
"I attribute alot of our growth this season to our strong social networking presence this year, we have added Facebook and Twitter pages in the last year to allow us to better connect with our members and others in the community" ASRS President Jim Foose said of the growth. "The cautions dropping is just a product of having a strong group of drivers on the track each week, these guys really get to know one another by racing each week together, even the part time drivers here are working to show the other drivers that they are here to race competitively and without many mistakes".
All the growth has resulted in closer racing, which normally would lead to more incidents, however the strong pool of drivers at ASRS have proven that they are of the highest quality around.
