    XR April 16 Race Track Revival Announcement

    Anyone have any idea what XR’s announcement is on April 16? They have posted on their FB page about a race track revival and it being their biggest project to date. Barry Braun also posted a picture of Bowman Gray at one point. Wonder if they will put dirt on that place???

    I don't think there is any chance of Bowman Gray going dirt, and wouldn't want it to besides. They have a unique thing already (and pack the place out)...

      That would be a terrible idea IMO. That place isn't about the races it puts on, it's about the drama it creates.

        Yes but saw it on Twitter that in 2023 BGS will be hosting trucks, infinity and Nextel cup on dirt. I tried to find post again but couldn't find it. Idk if may be it was April fool's post or not.

        Don't get my post confused w the other SLIDING SIDEWAYS. just compare join date and # of posts

          BGS only holds 17,000 and the front X amount of rows wouldn't be able to be used if it was covered in dirt. I dont see NASCAR doing anything there either just with the low capacity.

            That's kinda what I thought. plus there's limited space for haulers.

              I don’t think it had anything to do with NASCAR being at Bowman Gray. Someone mentioned maybe throwing dirt on North Wilkesboro but that would seem like a waste to me. I was hoping XR would get in on the Speedweeks game and find a good replacement for East Bay.

                Yeah, that was an April Fools Day joke, a day early at that.

                  North Wilkesboro makes sense since the Smith family and XR have a working relationship.

                    Do you know for sure they have a working relationship?

                      Do you know for sure they have a working relationship? I have not seen anything but it does make sense since they go to all of the dirt tracks at Texas, Vegas, and Charlotte

                              side note......I saw Purvis come from the back and win one night! I instantly became a Purvis fan!
