Your are entitled to your opinion, but could you keep the negative to yourself. Why would you begrudge anyone from enjoying some dirt racing. Don't you believe a good show would bring some interest to your local track, and more people out to a sprint car race- and more interest means more cars and hopefully more racing. Oh I forgot, this is America where only one opinion counts!! Yours?

Will there be a support class?

This show, if it becomes a reality, will not have any credibility unless Jack Hewitt has a ride......

I am curious about the race length....will there be pit stops or will they revert to the old "halftime break" format?
It will be a very crowded first few laps with 32+ full size pickup trucks taking the green.
Will Goodyear bring a modified version of the tires (very stiff sidewall with tread) they currently use for the truck series or try to use something closer to the DLM/sprint tires?
Is it too late to put dibs on Larson for the win?
Never considered Hewitt, would he consider coming out of retirement for a single truck race? That might make me look into attending. Maybe Dave Blaney can pick up a truck ride and show his son how to get it done on the highbanks. I am hoping that not too many dirt "ringers" show up, just enough to sweep the top 10. 
I am thinking that the track won't have much water on it....my bet is that they will want the track to seal over and rubber up like a mile dirt instead of having a foot deep cushion like we all love.
On second thought....maybe they don't need Goodyears with tread. What are they going to do with the splitters and ride heights? Even with a dry sealed over track there will still be some ruts.

This is possibly the dumbest idea ever. Want to see who can really drive? Put everyone in a 410 seat. I guess it's all about the $$$$$$$$$.

Not much bigger than a bunch of Late Models except a few more than usually start a Feature. What do they start in the trucks, something like 36? It would be cool if they'd run a dirt track type format, tt, Heats, Semi Features and the Main Event. I'll bet some of those guys would whine like h*ll if they had to watch the race from the top of their haulers. ;-)

i guess you will just have to watch and find out.
it will either all work out or it will end up in a giant fuster cluck. either way it will be interesting.

I really don't see pit stops happening. And 36 trucks might be too many.

I'm pretty sure Tony could sell ice to an eskimo. I'm not sure if he's a better racer or promoter, and I mean that with all do respect cause I think he's a hell of a racer. Thanks to him for all he does for dirt track racing in all forms.

I read this morning that it's happening if they can get soft walls installed. Seriously?

Its time for someone to step-up and install soft-walls at the dirt tracks with concrete walls. Sprint cars travel faster and crash harder than anything on paved short track. Would things be different if Tyler Wolf hit a soft wall? Or Shane Hmiel? I don't know. But I think its a step in the right direction.
