If that track was prepared the way it's suppose to be with those heavy trucks on the half mile it would be wild. Every truck would look like Larson's did last year
There is no way that you could prepare a high banked track like Eldora, do time trials, heats, last chance all in the daylight with 3400# trucks and expect to have a sticky track for the feature. The track would be like concrete and there isn't any equipment around that could re-farm the track in a timely fashion. If you were to try and water constantly between races there is no way the TV ratings would hold as the NAPCAR fans wouldn't tolerate the down time.

A hard, slick track is the best you're ever going to get because it's the most practical surface to fit the NASCAR template on TV. Not saying whether that's good or bad, but it is what it is.
