Hmmmm. There is evidence to the contrary.

Those who took the time to attend The Bettenhausen Memorial at Springfield last August saw 100 laps/miles of some of the best racing you'll ever see anywhere on any size track. Some of the days' best racing took place during the last 25 laps/miles. Springfield is dirt and it was a day show to boot! The 2017 Bettenhausen was almost as good as 2018. Two weeks later Du Quoin was nearly as good as Springfield and it also was 100 laps/miles on dirt but it was run after dark.

Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
