I know many may not care much but I do find it a bit interesting and it involves dirt.
Sources: NASCAR Cup Race at Bristol Motor Speedway in Spring 2021 to be run on dirt. 2020 Schedule likely to be announced tomorrow. https://heraldcourier.com/sports/sou...mpression=true ALSO no Chicagoland Speedway or Kentucky Speedway on the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series schedule |
Interesting but I still won’t go🏁🏁👍

Sure would be easier and less costly to just race at Eldora.

My everlasting wish is to see Indy Cars on a mile dirt track

Re: Off topic. News
I think many people are being short sighted on this news. Will the Cup cars put on a good race on the dirt at Bristol? Probably not. It will still be a stock car with very limited changes made for the dirt. It is not like they are going to be moving to a Rocket chassis for the race. However, it is going to be a lot of time/effort/money to convert it to a dirt track. I would expect multiple series to run on the dirt. Definitely a WOO sprint car race. Definitely a WOO/Lucas Oil Late Model race. Those races would be much more interesting than the cup cars.

Re: Off topic. News
In my opinion NASCAR may have been thinking about doing this but the formation of the Superstar Racing Experience by Tony Stewart and Ray Evernham hastened NASCAR's decision. And I believe ARCA still runs some dirt tracks or at least they did in 2019 so everyone should have an idea of what to expect.
