But with the differences between an Xfinity and a Cup car now he might be better off in a cup car if it is closer to what he is driving Down Under 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambrose was a great wheelman, but was never really with a good Cup team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palu49 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Imagine they had to pick the cars up off the ground so they didn’t get destroyed by manhole covers and shit and they started bouncing around and hanging out sideways off the corners!? It’s almost like people have been asking for the cars to be up off the ground for the last 15 years to promote good racing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad said it always flexed the chassis so much, he never thought they'd get a year out of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably rolling wheels, closed now but I think it still holds the fastest 5/8 mile lap record for 410s. Like 4 guys broke it in a row in qualifying (I believe it was the last year of super dirt week at the mile) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RW was just special events. Sad to see that track not being used any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
