      The taz won't be the last and only one dropped. It sounds like they're gonna cut 5-6 races next year. Fayetteville and now tazwell.

        They picked up Talladega but I doubt that’s the reason they dropped taz.

              I am hoping to see Kokomo on the schedule for next year.

                I'm sorry for local fans in that area but Fayettville doesn't deserve a national date. The track has some of the worst racing of any track on either national tour.

                  Well I’m sure the majority of drivers aren’t upset about Taz dropped. Perhaps they pushed this. Bout like Macon makeup was canceled cause they all wanted to go home.

                    I don’t think Talladega got the Taz date.

                      I'm about an hour from Fayetteville, I stopped going the racing got so bad. I never have claimed to have the answers but what they have tried has not worked.

                        Many of the teams have complained to Lucas Oil about Taz for years. The road in/out with the big haulers, the pit area & ect. With the bigger bodies- the racing has somewhat took away the side by side racing there.
                        My viewpoint:
                        #1. There has been absolutely no improvements to the facility in 30 years-except painting the guardrails annually. Is status quo still enough in today’s times?

                        #2.- if Gary Hall is being truthful about Lucas not giving him a reason - that’s terrible on their part. Taz has been with them since the beginning. Is the series getting to “big headed” for their own good? Example:- having Dirt on Dirt cut back on videos. Just ???? But look what has happened to NASCAR in the last few years. We need Lucas Oil & the World of Outlaws both to thrive- but by being fair, honest & respectfully to all parties- including the fans, promotor s& teams.
                        Maybe we will know more about “why” soon as to TAZ. I don’t think it has ever been discussed as to why the World of Outlaws didn’t return there??
                        As a fan living 30 minutes away- it will effect me - but whatever the reason- hopefully we will know more??

                          And yet Tyler Co. has 2 Lucas dates. They have made a few upgrades lately but it still has to rank as one of most rudimentary tracks around. Probably more to the Taz story, there usually is.

                              I'm 25 minutes away and feel the same way, haven't gone to a race in awhile. It sucks to because the guy seems like he really tried but the place just produces bad racing. Fayetteville has a lot of positives location, facilities, nice people but the track just sucks.
