Doug Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 12 minutes ago, Jimmy Snacks said: I’ve read that as well but it’s also rumored that Dinger wants out of the Cup grind now that he has a newborn at home so his ride might be open as well. Dinger was content with full Xfinity schedule and a part time cup but Kaulig talked him into the full cup ride last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't quite figure Gragson's background. Keep on hearing he comes with money backing him. His dad Scott Gragson is currently in jail/prison for a fatal crash and is paying a 21 million dollars in a settlement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess that will mean no dirt on Bristol at all next year. 20 minutes ago, Rigid1 said: I'd like to see one on dirt, but a different venue, a dedicated dirt track a bit longer That really leaves 2 options in the US - Eldora and Knoxville. Eldora wins out based on parking and seating if it comes down to it. I can't think of any other tracks that would really stack up to a NASCAR event. Maybe I-94 here in MN, but it would still take a lot of upgrades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in Cup cars, but true dirt cars are not built to take hits at those speeds. 12 minutes ago, Steve753 said: It's run its course I think. Probably a good idea. Until NASCAR is willing to make some major changes, they'll always fail at running cars on dirt. IMO, here is what they need to do: -Commit to dirt racing in the long term (5+ years) -Race dirt more then once a year, 4-5-6 races a year -Have the teams build dirt specific and style cars. Make them like a IMCA Stock Car with a Cup body. I mean true dirt style cars, not a half-assed warmed over Cup chassis (I think this is the big one) -Race dirt tracks as often as possible. Yes, they will have to invest money in some facilities, but it will be peanuts compared to building new tracks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
