      Definitely duck river. Probably better racing and car count.

        Unless something has changed, then Tazewell is the place.

          If you don't want to stay at the race track until 2 am central time you better go to tazwell duck river will run about 8 classes tazwell could be the fastest track in the country.

            Duck River hands down. Duck River may run a few classes but so does Taz, but the racing at Duck River will be better than the train race at the Taz. Been there many times and have yet to see any racing. A lot of wrecks but no good racing. JMO

                  One thing about "THE DUCK" if the track is not right they will make it right, and yes sometimes they do run late with a very good chance you will see some good Dirt Track Racing, and not taking nothing away from Taz. which I think is the fastest dirt track in the state of Tennessee.

                    Duck River, easily. They've generally cut down on the classes in the past when they have a big series like WoO in town and move the show along reasonably well, and they'll have several more cars if that matters to you. It's honestly not even debatable which track offers the best racing.

                    With that said, just do both if possible.

                      You must not of went to any races at duck river last year the last race I went to last year I left at 2 am as soon as the super race was over they still had about 3,features left I said then I'll never go back the reason that tazwell as a low car count is it is so fast a lot of the drivers are scared to run up there and they will tell you that.if you want to see real speed go to tazwell I'll admit the track was a little better when John Thompson had it but it is still bad fast when John had it is was great I never missed a big race there and it's a 3 hour drive one way for me.

                          Actual racing Duck River

                          Tazwell is something to see, it's a speed show, great setting, but the racing there has always been overrated to me. Ive heard several drivers say they don't go there because it's hard on your stuff. Never heard one say they were scared of it.

                            Well, actually I did go to Duck a few times last year, and I said the sanctioned shows like WoO move along better because they don't run as many classes. The last WoO show they had was over before 10. Everything else will drag, especially if they decide to completely rework the track at 11pm like they did for their Labor Day special, but the supers make up for the wait more often than not.

                              Pretty much. Tazewell definitely is something to see at least once, and I try to make it there if at all possible for their big shows.
