    I doubt you will find a video, they edited it out of the replay. But here is an article about it with photos. Kind of hard to see, but looking at the people along the pit wall and the accounts, they were all yelling trying to get them to call it out.

    Bristol Dirt crash sends multiple racing drivers to hospital. Strange crash on the Bristol Motor Speedway Dirt Track.

        On a scale of 1-10 id give them a 7.5.

        I do think they overworked the track and wasted some time there, but for the first time, they did a heckuva job.

        One of the disappointing things is only 823 outa 1200 showed up. Im sure more would have showed up if they knew they had a slot. Maybe next time, raise the entry fee so theyll think twice about not showing up!

        If they do this next year, ill be there! Im sure it will depend on how successful the cup race is!

            42 cars for one million or more, and 1/4 of them start and park is an epic fail.

              While the car count was lower than expected your numbers are off. There was 55 cars entered Friday and bc of some cars wrecked and others having to leave there was 49 entered Saturday.

                Now that they've done alright with it at Bristol, I hope they consider doing it at Talladega or Daytona. Or even a smaller track like Kentucky Speedway or whatever that NASCAR track is in the sh it ty northern part of the state.

                    Would it not make more sense to just build a dirt track, instead of covering a perfectly good asphalt track with dirt?

                      They do the same thing the last 3 seasons for super dirt week at oswego before cv19 hit.

                        In the aftermath of Bristol, Martinsville would likely be the best candidate for a future dirt track, if they choose to continue this idea.

                          If they want to cover a current Nascar track in dirt Martinsville is the only logical choice and would probably race well for DLM. If they cover Bristol again I won't go again. The track is too fast and doesn't produce good dirt racing, although Saturday was much better than Friday.Anyone else catch the atv that got hooked the rear bumper of the super that barrel rolled when it broke loose in turn 3?

                                Well if I could think of a bigger track I'd throw it in there. Maybe Watkins Glen or Sonoma so we can see what these guys can do.
