I don’t see any support classes nascar weekend other than the trucks. I just would think the outlaws would get to come back considering they had 40,000ish fans 20 years ago. Thinking it may be a deal where they can’t announce their weekend until after cup weekend. Pure speculation but I could see nascar doing it.

I was told the clay for this race will come from Wythe Raceway.Anyone who has been to Wythe knows it is the smoothest dirt track there is.On top of that is has less dust than any other.Fred Brown and his son Perry have been hired to prep the track.The dust was the biggest concern of the track.Comment

At least they are getting the best people and dirt. Now will this mess up Wythe?Bristol dirt racing is so old news. 1990’s stuff.Originally posted by b1eagle View PostComment

Ah yes they are having a nascrap race. The seats, if covid is over, are going to have to stay dust free for the nascrap cry baby's. After that race is over I'm sure they can bring in every class of car that runs in the state of Tennessee if they care to do so.Comment

Again RajFlyboy runs his mouth when he has no idea what he is talking about... why is Bristol Dirt 1990’s talk? They didn’t run there with dirt until 2000 and 2001...Comment

What I was thinking. I was there in 01 for the UDTRA all 3 nights.Up in the air who my next “favorite†driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normalâ€.Comment

It absolutely was. The first year they had I think 176 or so cars. Didn’t go that year, went the second year. They had 74-78 cars lol. With new rules. Steel wheels, axles had to be heavy duty, not the fancy ones, and some other stuff, can’t remember it all. Just so much downforce.Originally posted by keith94elliott View PostUp in the air who my next “favorite†driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normalâ€.Comment

It's dirt....it's Bristol....it's a little different.
How bad could it be?
I wish they would run a 40 lap Lucas feature prior to the NASCAR event.....just to show the NASCAR fans the deal.Where is the move over flag when you need it?????Comment

Ran both years (albeit not very well), the first year taught everyone a lesson for sure. Second year we still ran aluminum wheels, just not the XL's. Some guys did go back to steel axle tubes but it was not a rule (and not sure how many actually did). Today's cars on the track as they had it would be wide open and hard on equipment as well!Comment

I do hope late models are part of the Bristol dirt eventComment

Personally, it was awesome. NASCAR facilities, our seats were in the Allison section, double seats with backs. Row 47 I think, just to the right of the finish line. And pretty dang good racing.Originally posted by Barbecueboy View Post
Remember Schlieper dumpin Chupp, Chupp had him a moment and hit I believe Dan and maybe Ronnie Johnson. So Dan dumped him, it was deserved.
Personally, I would love to go back. During a NASCAR dirt race, I dunno. Track won’t be prepped the same, so you really in my opinion won’t get the full late model experience. But a strictly late model show, for sure.Up in the air who my next “favorite†driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normalâ€.Comment

I would be shocked if Bristol takes all the time and money to put all that dirt down just to run a Cup race. My guess is they'll run the WoO sprint cars and the WoO late models on the following weekends to justify all the effort.Comment

Why not run a race on it the weekend before with a dirt series of some description to get feedback on the track prep and surface before the NASCAR weekend?Comment

Unfortunately I don’t think they are smart enough to actually do this. 😜Originally posted by Action10 View PostComment
