By moving the times up a track also has to have employees to put on the shows. Many of which have family activities and jobs that require them to plan around. Many don't arrive until about hot laps...
Strictly speaking as a fan or motorsports, for me, a real difference between Larson and Stewart vs a Foyt/Jones/Andretti is how well documented and the coverage of their careers is.
When I was soaking tires in the Modifieds we never soaked a new tire, it was always to breath life into an old wore out tire to squeak by another week. It did wonders for hand-me-downs that had been...
It's been over 2 years since I went to my last race. My motivation to get back involved with the sport is just non-existent, COVID or otherwise. If I do go I won't be forced to wear a muzzle that's...
