Anyone watching this? For the first time in 43 years a NASCAR national touring series is racing on dirt! Eldora Speedway (Tony Stewart’s track) is hosting the race.
I’m not the most ardent NASCAR fan and I’ve never been to a dirt track. The race so far has held my attention which is more than I can say about some of the NSCS races this year. I wish more of the truck regulars were racing tonight (some teams brought in dirt “ringers”). While this is not something that I would like to see on a regular basis–after all, this is more of a gimmick race than anything–it’s a nice change from the same old mile and half tracks they usually run.
I’ve heard some say that NASCAR should drop dirt on the track at Bristol for a Cup race next year. That would be insane!
