A Nascar car is not meant to be raced on dirt. I think the race delays and added water on the track actually helped the racing. Charlotte, Texas, Talladega all have a dirt track at the facility have a special Charity race associated with the All-Star race and put them in dirt late models. Las Vegas too.

Chicagoland also had a dirt track that they would run a midget and sprint car race when the Nascar event was there. At the last race there Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell and Chase Bricoe raced at the dirt track also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted April 18, 2022 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 18, 2022 I found it interesting that other than Harvick who was very critical after he wrecked out of the race most of the drivers said basically the same thing during the rain delays….that despite everything “they were having fun out there”….guessing NASCAR told all the teams not to be critical. Harvick has zero fucks to give.🤣👍🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still going that the rain delays and getting some moisture back in the track helped. I was there last year for the late model show. Comparing the cup cars to a late model and corner speeds the late models carry is a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 410 sprints(world of outlaws) were running quicker times than the cup cars were on pavement if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take out the windshield, give them a decklid, and rip out the sway bars while they are at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 So this racer named Hunter Rich had some kind of incident, lost his marbles, and worked over a track official with his crew member at a track in Tennessee last night. Pretty much every track in the state has banned him. Video on the FB. Disgraceful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
