Reviving Lasalle Speedway

That would be nice for sure but I doubt since they keep claiming it is huge! I have not seen any more posts about it though so it seems they aren’t really hyping it up. Also have not see any promotion for their events next weekend at All Tech.

They changed over the Bristol Dirt Nationals fb page today to the race track revival name

Maybe this will be the last year dirt will be put on Bristol? Wilkesboro will make it's come back as the nascar dirt race. Just a hunch. It won't race worth any better than Bristol does with late models and sprints though.

I've thought all along dirt should be put on Bristol in the later half of the year. The struggles with the weather for the spring race, hurts it in every way it can.

ive thought from the beginning since they started the bristol deal and north wilkesboro started being rebuilt that its gonna be nascars designated dirt track, the bristol deal cant be sustainable even for nascar. It was a great asphalt track so i kinda wish it wasnt but good to not have a track sitting idle if that is the case. The smith family has to be tied into XR in some way or another, at least getting this thing off the ground

On April 16 at 3pm Speedway Motorsports is having a press conference at Bristol… I am thinking Wilkesboro once again.

The big wheels say that n wilksboro will have no Nextel cup race there. May b another nascar affiliated series and also not going to be a dirt track.

All these folks want NW to make a comeback. But if it ain't a cup race, the fans won't come. Proved that some years back at a SLM race that payed $75,000 to win, and more cars showed up than fans. I would love to see racing there, but don't see it as a feasible endeavor.

Just listened to this weeks Dale Jr Download. North Wilkesboro was brought up and Dale said "Ya'll might wanna keep your ear to the ground on some North Wilkesboro news coming"

Dirt on a track in moonshine country……….what could be much better than that?

I’m hoping it’s true for the ole girl to make her comeback dressed in dirt.

[thexfactor0210]

The twitter and FB page for North Wilkesboro have confirmed an announcement is forthcoming on Saturday

[Barbecueboy]

Sweeter than a yoo hoo right there……will be great to see the pros race on it.

Will be cool to see the nascar guys on it too😂

Putting dirt on north wilksboro and racing in October.... lame

[foxfire2dirtracing]

They said they would be taking the asphalt up after August pavement races- not putting dirt on top of it.

Right. They will have regional series races on old asphalt in August then remove old asphalt and have dirt races on the dirt for slm, BB mods,sprints and other classes in October. After that they will pave it for 2023.

I think they could announce $50k to win Super late model race with free admission for the fans along with $1 hotdogs, $1 hamburgers and .50 can drinks and some would complain that the food was not free.
