What is the record for yellow flags and yellow flag laps in a truck race? Hope Tony works the track to help this saddness.

They did have new dirt but I took it home with me after the Kings Royal!!!

I hope it works out. Hopefully they will be throwing off sliders all night--but I doubt it. These trucks are totally different than sprint cars/late models/mods. Maybe this will gain some respect for the dirt community, but for the love of Pete, get someone announcing who knows what he is talking about!

I think I heard that Clint Bowyer is doing the color commentary so that should help some.

They need to let the voice of Eldora, Dustin Jarrett, be on the broadcast. But nooooo, we have to listen to the idiots they have every week. Hopefully DW wont be on the broadcast.

[QUOTE=wolfpack58;343683]Is it just me or does anybody else get the feeling that TV coverage and overflow attendance by a bunch of napcar fans will 1day lead to the paving of Eldora?

I think it could happen cuz with as bad as their track prep is paveing would save Smoke a lot of cash and headaches

When I was younger, I loved the Baltes guy (Terry I think) that announced over there, who has since passed away RIP... man I would love to hear him again..it was something like: "On the clock now, Driving the number 63 Bob Hampshire/ JW Hunt Strawberry Farms car, he rides em high because he's not afraid to die...He hails from Troy, Ohio, and he's a Fullll Ti-me Ra-cer, Ladies and Gentlemen Mr. J-a-c-k H-e-w-i-t-t...." ......wow they dont do it like that anymore, send chills up my spine thinkin back about those days, guess Im gettin older...

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:7::26::42:::21:

Terry Baltes has his own commercial real estate company in Dayton, Ohio...never heard anything about him passing.

Re: Trucks on Speed at Eldora
 

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.

Re: Trucks on Speed at Eldora
 

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

Re: Trucks on Speed at Eldora
 

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

3,000lb trucks and the sun beating down aren't conducive to a tacky track.
