Knoxville is about the only other dirt track (other than the Springfield, Syracuse, DuQuoin & Indy miles) where I think they'd have the possible seating and infrastructure to handle such an undertaking.

It showed that even at speeds of around 90MPH racing that is close is entertaining.If you had Steve,Sammy,Jac,Kyle,in like race cars people would pay to see them even at speeds less than 2/3 of a sprint car.The TV coverage was entertaining and even though most good street stocks would be faster you did not notice as they were all slow.Years ago sprint cars were in the 20 second range[in the 60s] at KnoxVille and at that time they looked really fast.Not being a stock car fan one of the best races I ever say was IMCA stock cars on a short 1/4 mile track.Nascar can be boring waiting for the last few laps but they are so well promoted and are constantly in the media plus the money makes them ahead of most all forms of racing.Technology and speed and money have ruined IndyCar and look how much less cars of the 60/70 cost.Lets just have them buy new Dodges,Camaros,and Mustangs or even imports put in a cage and roll bar and race.These cars would be as fast or faster at 20% of the cost of the current 3000# +Nascar mandated rule book cars.

All I am saying is that if the track was a regular dirt track with clay or dirt flying ; or dirt flying around it would be a lot better racing; not this locked down rubber over track !
|
And the Outlaws A mains are NEVER lock down, rubbered up tracks? Please......

I watch NASCAR, and just about any type of race when there is nothing else on. I like the trucks moreso than Nationwide and even Sprint Cup. Less experience, better racing. Sprint Cars on dirt are by far my main food. This race kept me very interested the whole way. I liked the format, and it may get tweaked in the future but all in all, a great night of dirt action. I have it saved on the DVR for some relief of the Winter Blues......I can't wait until the next one.

May I add The Belleville High Banks to the list of tracks that could be exciting to watch the trucks on.
