    12 cars are you kidding who the heck would watch 12 cars..... I was towing 3-4-5 hours to find full fields to race with and then went to specials only for the last few years.

    If this is a serious post you must be a serious couch potato.

      Our guys can’t race in the rain when the track is closed, so couch racing this past weekend was the only option.

      The racing wasn’t near as bad as I thought it would be.
      Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

        IMO, the racing was fine. As far as speed goes, my guess is CUP cars would have been in that same speed range at Stafford, possibly a little faster, but they are so aero dependant that it would have been follow the leader with NO PASSING, at least these cars could go two wide even though the announcer indicated it's typically a 1 groove track.

        This week and next week will be more interesting overall as they remove the windshields and convert them over to run the dirt, my guess is their lap times will be similar to the truck series when they ran Eldora in the past.

        Now, who will spin out on the dirt first? My $$ is on Paul Tracy....

            It's not a small field for a specialty series even IROC which was the forefather of SRX was only 12 cars, even Robby Gordon's Off Road series was no more than a handful of full time teams.

                  The interview with Bloomer and Tony on Floracing says it all about the upcoming Knoxville race!

                    I just watched that interview with the two of them. That was very good. Seems like they both have a ton of respect for what the other has done in racing.

                      does practice night count?

                      If so, I'll try to stay long enough after the 305 and 360 sprint show to see who spins first.

                      Sadly, it will probably be Brown or Bloomer as they'll actually try to see where the edge is right away

                          I watched tonight for the first time after watching Hailie Deegan's youtube from last week's race. I find it funny how the series owner is also a participant and has a pretty decent point lead. Beside Tony Kanaan and Paul Tracy hitting dang near everything in sight it was fairly boring. Also Tony Kanaan should know better than to right rear someone intentally. If you want to dump a guy you go left rear, luckily Francis was able to save it

                            The type of race car Kanaan has competed in his entire career are not conducive to making contact of any kind. People can get killed when a driver doesn't have the skill and talent to make a clean pass. TK can be cut a little slack for not knowing how to dump someone while driving an awkward, full bodied racecar.

                                Think he's probably referring to Stewart. Yeah, he's one of the owners of the series.
