I haven't missed one, and lord willing will continue to go!
    I have no issue with the purse or ticket prices. But based on those, I have no issue with drivers/teams skipping the event. Racing is their life/business. Losing $$$ is bad business so if they choose to stay away, I don't blame them. For others, they attend with the hope of getting a little bit of TV time and hope they can gain some sponsorship. For others, it's about their current sponsors and being there for them. Every team has a different business model.

    The days of every single good car showing up at races is long gone (some guys skip the World, other skip the Dream, others skip the DTWC. It's just a fact that someone won't be at a race.

    I watch whoever shows up when I go to the races. Only times I am disappointed is if the guy is on the grounds and just doesn't unload.

      I agree. Remember all who support and have raced all woo shows get show up money. The days of 120 plus cars are gone.

            Will TMac be driving a bb modified this week? I'm hearing it a possibility but the way they roll through the lineups down there it would be tough

              It's very organized and timely but he can have time to drive in both classes.

                Prolly not unless he picked up a ride down here or is running vics back up. Would be nice to see him run the 39.

                  He's pulled double duty there quite a few times in the past...

                    Unless something has changed, Chamberlain is done for the year, due to health issues.

                      According to an article in Area Auto Racing News, T Mac's modified suffered too much damage at Oswego during the Super Dirt Week and Coffey's team did not have enough time to repair it for Charlotte. So unless something has changed he will be only competing with his Late Model.

                        That's ashame. TMac is one of the last true wheelmen in the sport we love. Dude can drive the wheels off of anything. Really impressed me at the chili bowl

                            I was there the night TMAC won the chili bowl and the night he had that nasty crash and broke his neck. The man ain't afraid to wheel anything, I'm not a huge fan but I am a fan. I think he is one of the better sports out there.
