NASCAR dirt race at Bristol March 29, 2021 04:06PM
Not pulling, but a dirt sport at a venue that's held both NTPA and ATPA pulls.

Overall, imo it turned out well. Torrential rain during the weekend made track prep a challenge, but the actual race was entertaining, even if the format was different. It felt like they ran 5 50-lap features.

NASCAR announced they would do it again in 2022, hoping to sell out Bristol. Personal opinion- I wish they would try it at a real dirt track ( Eldora... Every motorsports fan should go to the World 100 once in their life. Best dirt race in America). I think Tony Stewart is not on NASCAR's Christmas Card list these days, so it probably wouldn't happen.

I tried to watch the race, but found it difficult to follow. Next year they need to have it as a night race, that way the cars will not be going into and out of shadows, it would also make it better for the drivers to see.

I couldnt care less about NASCAR. But we went the weekend before to watch all the other dirt classes. The super late models are awesome to watch. They we're 40+mph faster than the cup cars on dirt. Now, the cup cars on the pavement were faster. I've never been to the cup race on pavement there but I will for sure I go back next year if they do dirt again, and maybe carry a car.

It would be a pretty cool venue for a tractor pull. The dirt is already there, just turn the front stretch into a pulling track.

Have GN classes one night then have regional classes the next, then on the last have farm paced classes. That way everyone gets a chance to pull here just like how they did with the dirt track racing. They had everything from a 4 cylinder to a cup car.

TNT had a few at the Kingsport TN track back in the 80s and 90s
It was a really good place for a pull / They had it in the center of the track plus Bigfoot Fastrax and a few others.

Any of y'all ever pull on a dirt oval track? 99% of them slope towards the infield and I've yet to see a track builder level one out for pulling. Makes for some real interesting sled placement and driving.

I have filmed at the track in Scottsburg, Indiana. Had to make the decision between having a level tripod or the vehicles level in the frame. lol
