I would concur completely Jerry. It's great that one of NASCAR's premier series' is going to race on dirt. Way to go NASCAR & Tony. However, from a slightly selfish standpoint I wish it was on one of the midwestern 1 mile dirt tracks.
I watched my first stock car race on a 1 mile dirt track when I was a mere child. It was at Springfield during the State Fair and it was the greatest things I'd seen up 'till then and for a very long time after.
As Jerry pointed out, the stockers are a thing of beauty on a one mile dirt track. I say that in spite of the fact that the Silver Crown cars on the dirt mile's are my greatest love in racing.
