Okay, so, if I may ask, how is this relevant?Have 13 acres of that "dirt" here in SE TN it does not absorb H2O the first 2 inches will get slicker than owl poop under that its damp but stays packed. A lot or iron in it concrete will stain I use Ospho rust killer to clean the concrete. The Cherokee Indians used this clay to make pottery, its about rock hard when dry digging a hole is labor intensive it requires a pick & a Mattock shovels do not penetrate it. My veggie gardens are raised beds in black dirt.
Really?Oh and the last time Bristol put dirt over it's concrete surface, it ****** it up and forced them to repave
2002.. They brought WoO Sprint Cars inReally?
When did that happen?
He's just doing his thing.Really?
When did that happen?
It happened in 2000 and 2001He's just doing his thing.
He's got some good pipes on him.I knew Larry was a crooner

Indeed they did.2002.. They brought WoO Sprint Cars in
Because in the clip I posted, Regan Smith stuck a screwdriver in the track and it only would go in a couple of inchesOkay, so, if I may ask, how is this relevant?
2014 and 2015 races were both ran on Sunday. So that makes 2014, 2015, 2016, 2019, 2020 all ran on SundayHonestly, this isn't surprising, the date has been plagued by awful weather for over a decade...
2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2021 have all either been delayed or postponed due to rain, that many washouts (combined with a much more popular later date), will cause people to stop showing up
Considering May, June, and July are also plagued by bad weather too, and run the risk of cannibalizing the night race, which is BMS' crown jewel, NASCAR's hands may be tied.
Plus, this gives Bristol an opportunity to host concerts and more non racing events
2020 wasn't run in April, so it's a red herring2014 and 2015 races were both ran on Sunday. So that makes 2014, 2015, 2016, 2019, 2020 all ran on Sunday
That would not really be fair to the fans that flew or drove a long distance. It's suppose to be nice weather tomorrow so I think they owe those fans a race tomorrow if at all possible. NASCAR will survive this just like they have every other race that has been rain delayed.the forcast looks great for next weekend so why not just wait and run this race and the truck race next weekend since its an off weekend for Nascar.
What did the dirt do to to the concrete to force them to repave?Track is in good shape at least, I guess as a one off it may be okay..
It probably will be a one off though.. TV ratings won't be as good as what Fox wanted because most people will be at work, and as we all know network executives aren't exactly the brightest bulbs in the lamp..

Though, whether the Bristol Spring date does is another storyThat would not really be fair to the fans that flew or drove a long distance.

I'm more interested in getting an answer to my post 537. I'm curious what dirt did to the concrete that screwed it up so bad that they had to repave.Though, whether the Bristol Spring date does is another story
They only have had a early season race since 62, it could be any day now that they change it.Though, whether the Bristol Spring date does is another story
Except this date has also had issues with snowThey only have had a early season race since 62, it could be any day now that they change it.
It changed the pH balance. For years after, the track emitted a significant percentage of the greenhouse gases added to the ozone layer. That’s really why the track was repaved, to try to seal the gases in. That’s also why they added the progressive banking. More gases were being emitted from the upper part of the track where the dirt had built up during the races, so the needed thicker asphalt up there. Larry Mac doesn’t tell us about the secret layer of charcoal under the sawdust this time, to prevent it from happening again. That’s sourced from used Jack Daniels barrels, of course.What did the dirt do to to the concrete to force them to repave?

If NASCAR had stuck with the tent, it probably would be located on higher ground.Can you imagine what would have happened with Brian's great idea merchandise tent set up. It would be down the creek
Would they sell paddles?Can you imagine what would have happened with Brian's great idea merchandise tent set up. It would be down the creek
yep it looks like just youIf NASCAR had stuck with the tent, it probably would be located on higher ground.
I know I was in the minority but I liked the tents. I found them far more convenient. I was easier to see the merchandise, I didn’t have to wait at multiple trucks, and I only had to check out once. I know some here have a nostalgic feeling for the trucks and their staff. For me, it was just a shopping transaction that the tens made easier.
Just me, I guess. It seems to work well for the PGA. I stayed dry in their tent, along with hundreds if other captive customers.
Looks cold.Looking forward to seeing Jamie wearing goggles on pit road.
