Cant agree with this. Marcus brought the Roval which rejuvenated the fall race and changed how they raced at Charlotte, just as he added the dirt race at Bristol which requires a different skill set and is an exciting event. Sporting contests and entertainment go hand in hand and he is no different than his dad and what he did.Very sad to hear. Bruton was a true visionary and innovator in race promotion and race track ownership. Godspeed Bruton Smith.
Marcus Smith has been running SMI for a while already. I do worry about SMI's future direction under him, as he views Nascar more as entertainment and less as a sporting contest of skill than I'd prefer. NA18D. Atlanta as a plate track. Etc.
I like the Roval, but could honestly do without the dirt race. It was cool and all, but I rather see them hit up a real dirt track if they wanna do dirt.Cant agree with this.

Humpy Wheeler was the Promoters promoter. He and Bruton made a great teamBruton was unique. Doubt there will ever be another with his talent for promoting the sport.
