Grass on a dirt track?
Announcers at Charlotte said they grow/keep grass on the track during off-season. They said it adds good nutrients into the soil. A few months back I was driving by and actually saw the grass on the track. Hmmm,

Eldora used to do that too

There's some driver that are still on grass!

I had read that in the old days it was not uncommon to seed down a track in the fall with a cover crop of some sort of grass, oats, or similar in order to hold the track through the winter. In Spring it prevented runoff and erosion and when it was worked in it created organic matter to help hold moisture. Some fairgrounds tracks even spread manure from the barns at the fair directly onto the tracks for the same reason.
Political correctness,...is the inability to speak the truth about the obvious.

Winter wheat, my Dad planted it every fall and tilled it under every spring.

With that good a success with the cover crop, they should look at planting winter vegetables on it! Lease that out to a local farmer and make a few bucks and get the cover crop for free!

Asphalt = dirt tracks when NASCAR folks prepare the track

Great idea ! Perhaps they could get with that watermelon guy in Nasky and then plant it with melons. Then when it comes time to race they could run them over with a roller and then WALLA : the track is watered already ! !

I know the lab results are beyond reproach (eye roll) but maybe they should send samples of the seed & fertilizeer used along with the tire samples.
