Eldora, Mosport on 2013 Truck Series schedule

I have tickets coming for this. I am so much looking forward to driving two hours to a track that I have grown to love just to watch awful racing, numerous wrecks and vehicles running on dirt that can't possibly accomplish that.

:D

I'd be happy to spare you the experience. Since I'd be doing you a favor, I expect you'll let me have the tickets for half price :p

A few years ago I learned something about people who race. If you pizz a racer off, they never forget. On the other hand, if you do something for a racer, they never forget.

Half price??? No way.

Awesome! Lookin forward to seeing some new NASCAR history back on the dirt as well as partaking in some adult beverages with a fellow racing-forums member.

I'm in the process right now of trying to line up the use of a golf cart so we can take this NASCAR party on the road while we're there. I may just rent one for the week and haul it over there. They look like they have quite a few camping areas to visit during the week.

The campgrounds open the Friday before the race. I'm sure we'll be arriving right about the time they open up.

Event Format Announced For Inaugural

NASCAR Camping World Truck Race At Eldora Speedway

Historic Event To Offer Unique Qualifying, Race Procedures



DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (April 9, 2013) – NASCAR announced today the qualifying and race procedures for the inaugural “Mudsummer Classic” – the highly anticipated NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Eldora Speedway on Wednesday, July 24. Unlike asphalt tracks, dirt tracks have historically used a format much different than typical races and that will be the case for this event, the first NASCAR national series race held on dirt in more than 40 years.



The race will feature a traditional two-lap qualifying session, five qualifying races, one last-chance race and a champion’s provisional to determine the 30-truck starting field. The top-20 in owners’ points entering the race event will have a guaranteed starting position.



Here are additional details for each round of qualifying:



Qualifying

Two-lap qualifying determines starting position for the qualifying races



Qualifying Races

Five qualifying races
Eight laps each; only green flag laps count
Five trucks transfer from each qualifying race
Lineup for the qualifying races will be based on qualifying speeds with four locked-in trucks (trucks in the top 20)
The top-five trucks in qualifying will start on the pole for their respective qualifying race
Highest finishing non-locked-in truck will transfer to race from each qualifying race
At the completion of the qualifying races, 25 trucks will have earned spots into the feature.


Last Chance Race

15 laps; only green flag laps count
The top-four finishers will transfer to the feature and start in positions 26-29
The lineup will be based on the finish from the qualifying races


Starting position No. 30 will go to the most recent past series champion who has not already qualified. If the 30th starting position is not filled by an eligible champion, it will be assigned to the next highest finishing truck in the Last Chance Race.



“NASCAR and Eldora Speedway have collectively worked together to come up with a format that embraces the history of dirt track racing race while also ensuring that full-time competitors have an opportunity to be a part of this special event,” said Chad Little, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series director. “This will also add an exciting element for the fans and we look forward to putting on a great show at this unique venue.”



The race length and format are also new for the series. The race will be 150 laps divided into three segments. The segments will be 60, 50 and 40 laps.



There will be pit stops between each segment, with teams having the opportunity to change tires and work on their trucks.



More details on the event schedule will be released later this spring.



The “Mudsummer Classic” will be the first NASCAR national touring series event held on dirt since NASCAR’s premiere series competed on September 30, 1970 in Raleigh, N.C. Richard Petty won the Home State 200 at the one-mile State Fairgrounds Speedway.

Sounds both confusing and exciting. I hope these guys bring a few extra trucks to get thru all this and still have something to race.
 
Posted this on TRLs thread.

More fun for The RF crowd (me DP and families) sitting high on the hill, ass in a lawn chair one BL in hand and another on standby in the arm of the chair and having a helluva good time.
 
holy $hit!!! that format is straight out of dirt racing, with the exception of segments!!! and i love it!!!! and i think most of you will too!

i'd love to be sitting with some forum members sipping beer at this race. to those of you who thought the Prelude was nascar on dirt, get ready for some real dirt racing! and then go to a local track where you don't know any of the drivers and see if still isn't a great show.

in my dreams....format should be adopted at the highest level!
 
Can's wait to see what 10+ drivers are going to go after those outside the top 20 guaranteed sports. I'd imagine that we're going to be hearing from some Cup drivers soon.

Not real excited about the breaking up of the final points paying race. Maybe they should have went back to the original truck format of a half time break for their pit stop?
