You also got the Big Deal which is paying 100k to win
I remember when they came back and had a sprint car race Anthony Macri about lapped the field.Immediately reminded of West Virginia Motor Speedway reopening and promptly going back into hibernation. That's also a 5/8 mile dirt track and simply put, most teams don't want to invest in the horsepower to be competitive somewhere like that (in addition to concerns about the speeds).

I think that's a kart track. No way that is a quarter mile.Looks tiny

mini wedges lol.I think that's a kart track. No way that is a quarter mile.
The plan was to resize it to a 1/4 and you can see photos on their Facebook page of what that was gonna look like. They're not deciding against that and will instead revamp the existing egg shaped 5/8 mile track. Don't get me wrong, I'm interested to see it run but IDK if that's something competitors want long term. For the XR Series maybe that isn't a concern if they go special event only and it's sustainable.It looks like they have plans to build a 1/4 mile track, but for now they are running the larger one?

Pennsboro Speedway: It Returns in 2024, with a Shorter Oval - Outside Groove
Many hailed the resurrection of the storied Pennsboro Speedway in West Virginia. It had been closed since 2002.outsidegroove.com
I should have said "now deciding against that" - there won't be a 1/4 mile.That is what I said lol.
I should have said "now deciding against that" - there won't be a 1/4 mile.
Someone in the FB thread about the announcement asked about the kart track and that's what the smaller not 1/4 mile is. It's probably 1/8 or 1/10 mile.

When the promoter of the track who has a five year lease on the property says:
“Big tracks just don’t work any longer,” Braun said. “The drivers want shorter tracks. Why build a big track no one would come to it?”
Braun cited the success of XR-promoted events at ¼-mile bullrings while bigger tracks, such as the nearby 5/8-mile West Virginia Motor Speedway, struggled with car counts.
I'll go with what he is saying.
What are you talking about? Maybe you need to read the article that has numerous quotes by the new lessee about plans for the track sherlock? Big tracks don't draw simpleton.Why don’t you go argue somewhere else like the Chili Bowl or a midget thread. This is about a new event revival quit trying to bash and persuade people & racetracks from showing up.

You could be right, but the promoter at this track doesn't think so. Maybe you can talk him out of changing to a smaller track.Ok. So take your negative insults back to your sprint car & midget threads. It isn’t needed here. Plenty of “big tracks” are able to stay open.

There had been stuff floating about that they were looking to fill a more regional hole that exists now without the Allstars.Heavy duty rumors circulating that WRG is to acquire ASCS.
