3 thoughts on “NASCAR Does Not Need More Dirt Races

    1. Michael –
      First, thanks for reading! We appreciate that. Second, I assume by your comment you would like to see more dirt races? If so, that is perfectly fine. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, which is what I have given here. Would it be awesome to see more dirt races? Absolutely. Unfortunately, I fear we would saturate the series’ with them and they would lose this level of excitement you and I obviously share. The Truck Series needs something to make it unique. Eldora has provided that and it draws a significant amount of attention. If we allow other series to have a dirt race, the truck series will get swept under the rug once again. I do not want to see that happen.
      As far as your comment, you are extremely ill-informed. I have not only been a fan of all motorsports for as long as I can remember, I have also worked in the sport and driven race cars for many years. I love it dearly and I want to see it succeed. If you feel my opinion makes me a “non-fan”, I am good company as just yesterday Steve Letarte echoed these same sentiments. I think he qualifies as a fan right?
      I am sure you are a great fan as well. Thanks again for reading and please come back to read again.
      In fact, if you have opinions and some writing ability, I will gladly provide you a forum to share you thoughts even if they differ from mine. If you think I am kidding, just ask our NASCAR journalist, Ricky Whittenburg how he got his start!

  1. He’s right. I am a loud mouthed fan who became a NASCAR journalist by sharing my opinions! And I actually disagree about the dirt track deal. I think three dirt tracks on the CWTS schedule would be great. I don’t see it as taking the luster away from Eldora. Especially when you have some of the 1.5 mile races in the CWTS series being ran in front of a couple of thousand fans. A packed 10,000-30,000 dirt track would be more appealing IMO.
