    My guess would be the Sprints but I doubt they will use it for anything but Nascar.

      my theory is they have the nascar weekend and then sometime later will have some dirt series come. That way nascar doesn't lose any of the thunder for their weekend. No reason a big time dirt show in May or June couldn't happen IMO. I mean they are spending the money on the dirt why not get 2-3 shows out of it. I think you could even have a killer ump mod or street stock event. I know if I had a DSS and had a shot to race at Bristol I would go.

        NASCAR doesn't need a national touring series as a support class. My guess is if they do have a support class they will bring in some local modifieds or crate late models.

          I thought they would probably have the trucks run with them that weekend.

              I can't imagine them not trying to the most bang out of it with the cost, but it is NASCAR we're talking about

                The Nascar dirt race is the end of March. I don't think the dirt will be down too much longer after that. Highly doubt it isn't cleaned up in April. My $0.02

                  It would be cool to see a Big Block Modified on the track. In My Opinion they put on a better show on the bigger tracks and with it being Bristol I'm sure they would come if they can.

                      One article I read on the subject quoted they (NASCAR) were talking with other series about putting on events there while the dirt was down. No mention of whether it would be before or after the Cup race just that there were talks about "other possible events."

                        The BBM's have raced at Eldora a couple of time. It's been a few years but they were there. Eldora may be the closest to Bristol in regards to banking.

                          Anyone have any insight on getting some dirt cars on Bristol. April 9,10 tbd for woo lates and no woo sprint schedule yet. I will probably go to the cup race if there is nothing else to go but would rather see something fast there

                            One big problem I see with the Cup race is time of year. Eldora has good luck with hard,slick, dry surface for the July truck race. Here in TN we are still getting frosts in April. That clay is not gonna be hard and dry I dont think. Rough, rutted up crash fest I predict, hope I'm wrong.

                              WoO lm's are 3 hours away that weekend at gaffney s.c.,but Lucas oil lm's are off that weekend. they could run under some other regional sanctioning too but i hope they run lm's and not sprints as a support class. they would be fools not to try to use that dirt over several weekends imo.

                                i heard bristol was hard on equipment such as broken wheels. Maybe have to run steel wheels.
