Bristol Dirt Race

StandOnIt said:
I hope they show the trucks coming in, because I don't think I understood him very well, it looks pretty steep and those haulers are so low to the ground it looks like the break over point will high center them. I'm sure they have it all figured out....or maybe not.

Yeah, it should be interesting to see how they do it.

Plan B is to fire them in from outside the track.

Guess they can't raise the surface outside the track or:



Just so you know, that bridge is in Durham NC. They raised it some last year. Still peeling trucks on occasion.
 
I think it is going to work pretty well. I wonder if the dirt week is a hit could it possibly happen the year after. I'm touting the Xfinity race. They will be able to lay on each other in the curves and get away with it.

Either this just happened or he is very tight lipped because he was just one winged nation last week and didn't say anything

Interesting. Definitely not who I was expecting, but he is another NOS sponsored driver. Cool for him.

Just rumor at this point but it’s been floating around that Harvick might run the #17 DGR and Truex one of the KBM Trucks on Saturday.

It would be a good idea if they did get some dirt time in. I don't think either one of them have any experience with dirt racing.

Bowyer told a story the other day about how Harvick won a modified race at Sharon Speedway they raced in together and I think he’s also done the rare modified appearance at Bakersfield, the Prelude to the Dream a few times, but his dirt outings are definitely few and far between. I’m not sure Truex has anything at all.

Byron would fit in that bunch, I doubt he has much if any, I wonder about Suarez, Wallace, Matt D, Dillion etc. Truex and Harvick will have plenty of company.

Wallace and Dillon have both won in the truck race at Eldora.

yeah come to think of it, they might do really well. Penske won't let Blaney dirt race, but I wonder when he was small if he got some seat time in, I wonder about the other Penske's Logano and Kez, The Gibbs bunch shouldn't have any problem. I believe Newman and Buescher for Roush will do ok. I think Briscoe will be in the top 5 if I had to guess.

Blaney has pretty limited dirt experience. A few sprint car races and a ton of laps at Sharon in a beat up Ford Explorer when he was about 10.
 
I can't see how racing on a computer sim is going to work for Bristol on dirt. I peeped in during the iRace and those guys weren't doing much sawing at the wheel or getting any dirt thrown on them. I thought one of them was going to one hand it and take a sip of his drink.

Just press pause.

How difficult could it be?
 
Professional race team managers: spend years in engineering education, work half their lifetime at the race track, have knowledge passed down to them from championship winners, and earned their way to the pinnacle of stock car racing.

Guy with internet access: lol their techniques are bull****

I don't hate the Bristol Dirt Race idea, I really don't. I just hate that NASCAR and the ISC replaced a consistently great race with this. Give me three Bristol dates, plus that Nashville date and those two Martinsville dates and that California Short Track, and how about adding a few more short tracks and dirt tracks in the process? :growl:
 
I was planning on going to this race. But i'm moving in the Summer so that's off the table now

It sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun !
 
Tight on entry. Gonna be a one line snooze fest. But I'll watch it. Recorded Cup race Sunday and fast forwarded thru it. 1.5 mile tracks are boring as fawk.
