Why didn't they just run the race at Eldora? Seems like that would be better than spending all that money covering up the track at Bristol.

NASCAR isn’t spending any money doing this the Track owner is... and this race has already sold out plus they are going too have some other races while the dirt is in place! Maybe big pay for Burton Smith and SMI if the stars line up |

Over the years Bristol has been loosing it's fan base, it use to be you had to wait for someone to die in order to get tickets. Eldora was great for truck racing but you need a larger stage for cup racing. With all the other races planned for the Bristol dirt everybody will make $$ on this deal. |

I owned 10 season tickets forever in order to get them they made you buy both races for bush and cup for the spring and fall races the spring was a bit harder to sell due to running in daylight hours night race was easy to sell at the end before I gave them up I had a hard time getting face value out of them. BTW I only made 5 bucks more on every ticket Mostly because it cost me around 3600 to buy them figured I should make something for shelling out that much cash. They do a ton of stuff or did anyway they did a Halloween theme I believe that was 10 bucks s car load they did Christmas one they filled the center and made a ice skating rink and I believe they did something with football games. I will say in its day by far the cleanest well ran most fan friendly and that also goes for the town that I have been to hands down |

When we would go you could never get a Ticket from track but always get them from scalpers lined up in Town. This Dirt race will be interesting for sure....The pits stops will be like what was Done at Eldora for Trucks. Hot Dog pit stop is what some call them being it gives you enough time to go get a Hot Dog. |
