    If they follow the same rules they run for the Sprint Car Nationals, yes they can. However a driver change also means you start last in the feature the car is qualified for.

    After 40-something...

    Car count was better than I anticipated given the competition for cars and it being the week after the World 100.

    As a local from Knoxville, I wish they'd move this event to the following week to...

    Can he? Yes

    Will he? After night #1, probably not.

    IMO, McCreadie was the best car all night long last night. Reminds me of how Francis ran the year he won, super consistent on qualifying...

    This is partially correct.

    Format for prelim nights is Time Trials (2 groups), 6 heats (top 6 in each heat are inverted by time), top 3 to feature, everyone else to B main.

    B mains are lined up...

    does practice night count?

    If so, I'll try to stay long enough after the 305 and 360 sprint show to see who spins first.

    Sadly, it will probably be Brown or Bloomer as they'll actually try to...

    IMO, the racing was fine. As far as speed goes, my guess is CUP cars would have been in that same speed range at Stafford, possibly a little faster, but they are so aero dependant that it would have...

    meh...

    to me, he doesn't move the needle for the "casual fan" that this series is trying to attract. Will a hardcore dirt late model fan go see this instead of a late model race that weekend and...

    Not sure if you were there or watched it, but I watched the WoO show on Dirtvision.

    They had basically NO CROWD for the afternoon portion of the WoO Sprints (I'd guess 12-1500)and had a "good...

    As much as I'd like to think this will propel dirt racing and increase the fanbase, purses and overall interest, history says it won't.

    Boone has also ran until the sun comes up some nights and started up again at 10:00 AM that same morning.

    IMO, this event is a "back-gate" event for the promotor (similar to Boone) and any race...

    I agree, it's great. I just don't think tracks are getting rich off their PPV, most are likely at best breaking even if they have multiple camera angles and staff dedicated to the broadcast. Heck,...

    I guess what I should have said is this: Some local tracks have PPV deals with DirtVision (Williams Grove, Knoxville, Attica (OH), some in Australia) or FLo (Eldora) If the tracks thought they...

    I highly doubt WoO or Lucas are sharing revenue from their streaming services, and likely don't have to as they own the broadcast rights to all of their events.

    I don't check in here often, but thanks for the kind words.

    I know there is a divide amongst fans of NASCAR and dirt track racing. If this past year has taught us (fans) anything, I hope that...

    Having attended races at Knoxville for 40ish seasons I'll say this.

    As a local of Knoxville, I'm elated that NASCAR is coming. For the racing? Until they hit the track, I'll reserve judgement.

    IMO there can only be one Crown Jewel in any form of racing. For DLM it's the World 100.

    No different than Daytona 500 for NASCAR, Monaco GP for F1, Knoxville Nationals for sprints, Boone for...
