Hope they don't cancel dirt Bristol. They have the dirt nationals there 2 weeks of racing for average guys that want to make the trek. It's a big deal for the weekend racers to get to run it. I do agree they need better cars for it but dirt racing is way more fun to watch when done right. Just my opinion.
they can run the dirt anytime. pavement for nascar

Well they did start on dirt, I think they need a couple dirt races then it would be worth having dirt specific cars . Maybe a race a Knoxville on the schedule to .

Personally I think they should dump dirt and street races and moderate down to maybe 3-4 road courses. Go back more to their roots. I think we all saw what the die hard Nascar fans thought of the Bristol race. Attendance was abysmal and Fox’s viewership numbers were down. Same with the Clash at the Coliseum. Last year was sold out and this year was way down in attendance. Novelty races are what they are and the novelty has worn off.

You have to remember that a lot of people don't have or want to spend that kinda money at this point in time, i bet most locals probably would go watch the lower classes at Bristol because it's better racing and way cheaper. So all you'll get is rich that travel there mostly, I know I'd much rather watch a good modified dirt race for 1/4 of the
price

Let the dirt racers run the dirt, formula 1 and Indy cars run the streets and Nascar run the tracks.

Time flies, I was at Talladega the first time Kyle won 15 years ago. Was pretty new to the watching the sport, people were sure pissed off in the stands that he won.

Alex Bowman second Hendricks driver to miss races because of actions outside of a NASCAR track. He hurt some vertebrae’s in his back racing sprint cars on dirt last night and will miss 3-4 weeks they say. Josh Berry will fill in.

Exciting race after a late race caution. Congrats to Truex beating Chastain for the win.

Trudex brothers both win same weekend, same owner, same car #19. Image that’s a very small group, if ever.

Noah Gragson and Chastain had words after the race and started swinging. I’m sure NASCAR will have a statement tomorrow as one punch did land for sure and they usually frown upon that.
