As I looked through the weekly photos on DoD it appears the majority of weekly tracks don't put forth the same effort as they do in Illinois. Most tracks look like asphalt with zero mud in sight. Race teams work countless hours preparing their cars to be the best they can be while race tracks look like they show up on Saturday and spread some water.
The tracks that work hard on their surfaces and give us killer racing continue to survive. I hope the other's take notice.
