late model or sprint

On a recent thread, someone posted "and we wonder why late models are more popular?"
Are you kidding me? I enjoy late models, and go whenever I can. But in my world it ain't even close. If you think late models are more popular, and want an answer why, ask yourself why nascar is so popular? That should tell you that popularity ain't got **** to do with quality racing!

Ive seen amazing races in both Sprint Cars and Late Models..

Hence why I am a fan of both.

This seems like a disaster thread waiting to happen

I've never met a race car I didn't like!

If your balls aren't big enough for a sprint just run a late model instead. Lol.
I run a modified now by the way.... Haha

Both are great. Why limit yourself? Love all motor sports, you'll be surprised by what you're missing 😎

If you're lucky enough to like sprints, midgets, mods, late models and most anything on dirt as I do, there is always a good race close by.

Well since I made the post referred to in the OP I might as well respond. From when I started in the sport to now, I have seen the LM's over take sprint cars in popularity. Look at the number of high paying LM races vs sprint cars any more. The way that the sprint car world has become fragmented has certainly helped this along with the high cost. For me personally, I am not a huge fan of them. They lack the explosiveness and agility of a sprint car. To me, they appear to be lumbering around the track. Plus when you need to stand between the fender and engine to work on it, some is not right

. Don't get me wrong, I'm not taking anything away from the drivers, crews, or the technology in that form of motorsports. I will take the late models any day of the week over nascar.

I will take Sprint Car's over Late Models any day! But I love racing and I will go watch lawnmowers race if that's all there was!
