IROC is noted in the paper this a.m. as losing the True Value sponsorship for next year and there is no replacement on the horizon.
IROC races were not a particular fan favorite, and it is understandable why the series might fold.
It seeemd to me the format of equal car preparation was the right format but the races should have been run under more competitive circumstances. The NASCAR drivers were predominant at the high speed, drafting tracks, where should the same cars have run on tracks that were varied, it might have created a greater interest. Places such as Martinsville or Richmond and even Sonoma or Watkins Glen with the attention to detail for equal car preparation would have leveled the playing field.
Of course there is a drawback, Jay Signoreli would have had a buncha cars to repair after the short track excursions.
