Interesting but I still won’t go🏁🏁👍

Same here. I will try to watch some of it though.

Too little too late!

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

I care. A race on a sh!x surface that will be treated like a short track race, heats, blah blah blah with still guaranteed slots for those that have a charter. Bristol was crap as a dirt track for sprints and late models. It will be dry/slick, with hours and hours of practice to dry it out further.

Cup cars need to run 200 or 250 miles on one of the dirt miles.

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

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.

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.
