Johnny Sauter says it'll be terrible racing. I tend to agree with him. Can't imagine a 3600lb car on dirt.

If anyone is interested, I have two additional tickets for the truck race. Bought 4 tickets and two backed out, so asking $40/ticket (face value). PM me if interested.

Section NO, Row 14, seats 3&4.

This is Bloomquist testing somewhere with the truck.

That test is at Smoky Mountain Speedway. Bloomquist, both Blaney's, both Dillon's, Hines and Kenny Wallace are among the 20 locked in because they are driving trucks in the top 20 in points. Larson, Newman, Jared Landers, Schrader and Babcock will all have to race their way in. I think this first one will be really interesting, but rumor has it, it is all a test to see how things work, before they put the cup cars on the dirt at Bristol in a year or two.
My money is a Larson/Bloomquist battle for the win. And lets hope it is Larson.

I'm glad they are thinking outside the box. I'm going Tuesday to check it out and watch the late model race. Gotta find the good in everything.

I hope bloomer can win it. NASCAR fans already think of Larson as a NASCAR driver, not a dirt "ringer". But if a "dirt only" driver can win, it will really shut the NASCAR fans up lol

i thought it was smoky mountian in maryville tn. nice track.

Greenfield has very little dirt experience, and is underfunded
Benning has dirt experience but is very underfunded, a Pittsburgh boy, like to see him do well!
I believe Weller has dirt experience, believe he was same Weller who was hurt badly at the dirt track at Charlotte in an WoO race several years ago
