It means nothing that sanctioned racing started on dirt - the true birth of NASCAR was the superspeedway boom of 1959-71. <br /><br />Dirt racing is useless - they can't pass, all they do is run in a four-wheel drift.Monkeesfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14522953722006761283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278859251538653499.post-82948384594222078302012-11-17T05:27:36.811-08:002012-11-17T05:27:36.811-08:00The race will show the performance of the company,...The race will show the performance of the company,lets start and we are ready to watch it. <a href="http://www.trickmytruck.com" rel="nofollow">Terry Paul</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119070540116468748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278859251538653499.post-64137634807416131182012-11-15T17:46:58.098-08:002012-11-15T17:46:58.098-08:00You Sir are and idiot!

This will help Nascar reach a target audience and, since Nascar is hosting at one of the most top notch dirt tracks makes since just in-case it's an "Epic Fail" just like the racing that makes me go to sleep! why would Nascar waste it's money if it were a gimmick????<br /><br /> Remember Nascar and, all sanctioned racing started on dirt. #RememberwhereyoucomefromAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914512898333394873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278859251538653499.post-82499158525488354742012-11-14T07:47:09.927-08:002012-11-14T07:47:09.927-08:00Eldora may be packed because of the novelty - but ...Eldora may be packed because of the novelty - but it won't draw the ratings you think it will and it's not immune to all the issues that have made racing a weaker sport now than it was in 1996 (costs, pointless performance levels, lack of passing) - the fact the Trucks racing there was even broached as a concept indicates Tony Stewart was in trouble there; this is a favor from NASCAR to him. ARCA stopped racing dirt (they were the last touring stock car series that even had one dirt race) years ago, and did so for a reason - dirt is not good racing.<br /><br />What NASCAR should do is add second Truck dates at Pocono and Talladega, two of the three most competitive tracks the sanctioning body races on. And BTW, you rip the cookie cutter tracks - they produced the best non-plate races in the Trucks this season.

All forms of racing have tracks where passing is limited, Eldora typically isn't one of them. You can be certain that the inaugural race at Eldora will be a packed house, and no doubt garner the highest tv ratings since the series inception. I'm not sure how that would be considered "competitive value" as you put it. It's all about putting people in the stands and watching on tv, otherwise the series will continue to lose rating and sponsors, as it has done consistently for the past few years.JMoppa1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02667795594687917708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278859251538653499.post-88405186142984175742012-11-13T11:02:10.670-08:002012-11-13T11:02:10.670-08:00AWESOME!!

None. True driving talent is not RACING talent - driving and racing are not the same thing. "NASCAR started on dirt." It evolved away from it for a reason.

Before the Winston Cup came to be, racing was held on many dirt tracks. Martinsville and North Wilkesboro both started as dirt tracks and were on the NASCAR schedule. They also ran at Fonda NY on the dirt there. <br />As for the trucks racing on dirt? Bring it on! I'm betting it's going to be a wild race and will be a true test of both driver and crew chief skills!
