My 41 year streak has come to an end......Not sure why they couldn't just have an abbrevated Nationals over those same three days rather than cancelling.

That is exactly what they are doing... it's called the Capitani classic pays $50,000 to win. They want the 60th annual race to be a big one. Call it what ever you want just not the 60th knoxville nationals.

No one knows what is going to be happening in August. Hell, the whole country might be closed down by then or if we're lucky Covid-19 will be going down in numbers. If it's the latter, then more fans might be able to go to the races. Lets hope.

I think dirt tracks have been able to fall under "outdoor activities" no different than say your local park which allows them a lot more freedom compared to businesses and whatnot. The problem with Eldora and Knoxville is they are massive venues so they gotta be considered with the large stadiums, concert venues etc.

There were no fans allowed at Pocono and so far there haven't been any outdoor concerts allowed in PA that I'm aware of. I have outdoor concert tickets for late August at the Spyglass Winery but I'm not too optimistic about it. PA just put back in place the mask requirement due to the growing number of covid cases(over 800 today when it was down in the 100's a few weeks ago). It will be interesting to see if it applies to dirt tracks or not. I've been to 3 live races so far but I've been watching SW via live streaming due to the larger crowds.

I respectfully disagree. This three day show SHOULD be called the nationals. I don't see why the 60th would be any different than the 14th, 37th, 5th or 21st. It would be a little different but having a missing plaque for the 2020 winner will just be a too odd.
