if tony waters the track, the driver's will go fast and will be knocking down the walls with yellow after yellow; if he doesn't, they'll be spinning their wheels and creating billows of dust that can't be seen through/ either way all we'll get out of this is a bad feed for dirt tracks from the t v audience/ why doesn't he put the napcar boys and girl in non wing sprint cars (that'd separate the real rACcers from the rest) and would endear the t v audience to dirt tracks watchin danica and the other " un " racers go end over end as they sail out of the park!

We need someone who knows a little thing or two about dirt. Rob Klepper and Brad Doty would be a good combo for tonight

Is that what "endears" you to racing? I'd love to tell you what I think of your opinion, but I would severely violate Bill's rules. So I'll just do this

You laugh because I'm different. I laugh because you're all the same. Copied from the back of the #16 supermodified.

I am a race fan, be paved or dirt, and the truck series over the years have been the best racing of the 3 top NASCAR series. If you have attended a 4 Crown race and watched the track gloss over for the Silver Crown race, this what you will get tonight. The driver that can save his tires the longest and finesse this track with a bit of luck will have good chance to win. Go Newman.

Won't be much to saving tires when your only going 58 MPH.

I have to assume that GoodYear will be supplying tires, just hope they have something other than a spec tire to work with, sounded like Newman, Larson, and a couple of others were trying some different one's last night, I'm sure they will come up with a suitable combination. Any non racers out there think they can do better than 58mph on a dirt track with an 800+hp monster under the hood, I don't think the line is too long yet, just step right up, I'm sure someone will pay you to drive their truck, if you can show them how to do it, you might just get a ride, "NOT"! I'm glad to see some of the real drivers get a chance to show their talents, like they say, "Dirt is for racin, pavement is just for gettin there"! Bob

"Being old, isn't half as much fun, as getting there"! Ole Robert I!
