Lets look at this from a facilities point of view. I am sure that the dirt tracks in the 60's that RP was wanting to get away from were some of the tracks with the worst facilities. It has only been somewhat recently that some dirt tracks have started to upgrade their games, and there are a ton of tracks that have still have sub-par facilities. When we start dreaming about tracks that have the facilities to host a cup race, the list is very small.
BTW, this reminds me of an interview that Larson had about the possibility of cup cars on dirt (pre-suspension) His basic take was that he was not a fan because of the limited changes that were going to be made to the cup cars. He was also concerned that the tracks would be super locked down. (like most truck races at Eldora)
If I were going to spend money on a race, it would not be for cup cars on dirt. It would be for midgets/sprints/late models on dirt.
