As do I. Kingsport Speedway here in TN is from what I've heard a great race track to go to. Plus they have rookie races with 2 door sedans. I might have to look into that.

Blaney takes over the lead in the truck points.View attachment 14052
That seemed to be his strategy all night. Run safe.
That was an amazing race! Larson doesn't quit unless the wall kills his ride.
Toyota has won every truck race this year.
Bubba Wallace, awesome domination.

Raw talent. He didn't have a winning truck, but drove it way over the edge and kept it a race far longer than mortal men could have.

It's amazing how much a last name can mean. If that was Kyle Busch, he definitely wouldn't be getting these praises for driving so hard to get the win. Trust me...I can't stand Kyle Busch driving in these lower series either, but the simple fact is that Larson is also a cup regular. Thankfully, he wasn't able to get the win.

I wonder if Larson's CC was reciting Harry Hogge dialogue over the radio. 
I hope good things for this kid. Classy, humble, talented kid.

How bout Schrader with a 4th and Hornady with a 2nd and young Nemo having a great finish in 6th

Calm as hell after the race too. I'm loving the new talent.
We NEED the Cup cars on a dirt track in 2015.

Yeahhhhh Bubba!!! Bummed Larson didn't take it... If he raced a little calmer he would have won this one. I know he hits the wall a lot but this is the first one I really feel like he gave away.
Love to see D. Wallace win though!

Nothing against Kingsport, but check out a dirt track in the area instead.

I like Schrader, but Hornaday not liking being raced how he always races others way sad.

Too bad the heavy car and power would R.I.P the track in 20 laps.

Maybe a teency throttle body?
Or a 1 mile dirt track?

You're right. 410 cars at 1/2 mile banked Perris is pretty insane as it is.

I think they're both pretty flat tracks, so it's not like they're racing dirt Dovers. And yeah, judging by the "cautions" column (especially at DuQuoin) I'd say there are a few wrecks.
Eldora Trucks is clearly a hit with the NASCAR community.
Having a similar Cup venue is something that NASCAR should at least contemplate.
