We will probably see the Helicopter crew rides return like we used to do at Bristol

It will be repaved after this race, from my understanding.

The asphalt in place now was in much better shape than anyone thought which is why they canceled the dirt races and went full speed ahead with this race.
Flying directly in the face of the tire testing results.

I hope they get away with this.

I hope this new car and the crap racing it's put on at the short tracks doesn't ruin this for us.
Besides the traffic situation, this is what I’m most worried about. The nascar folk are a fickle fan base, if this race flops Sunday and their “Muh entertainment” is a bust…they’ll turn on this place real quick

Jr hinted at such way back. I think they'll make this the dirt race and market the "heritage." mreh
I don’t want to live in a world with One trip to Bristol. That’s a shame if that’s the case.

This might answer some questions.

I would rather they go to an actual dirt track like Eldora and just pay to repave NWB. A lot of the nostalgia for NWB is for the paved surface.
I interpreted the Dr. saying that a paved Wilkesboro race would take the place of dirt Bristol. Could be totally wrong though.

No, I think Jr was dancing around covering NW in dirt to get Bristol paved back. But this was way before anything was official.

I'd LOVE to go see the SLM or Late Models this week, but traffic on a work night is my fear. Especially with Chase running. Crowds will be out
