@TristanTate As much as I agree with Bristol not being where we should host the dirt race, we also have to take into consideration that a normal Cup Series crowd is around the 40,000-80,000 range in attendance. Bristol is the only place that can seat the attendance of a Cup crowd.

If you take an already existing dirt track and size it up for the Cup cars, it’d most likely lose a lot of races from the other dirt racing leagues and re-configuring the track would take a lot of money and have to go through all kinds of governmental hoops to actually happen.

@Andy Blystone that’s too much. That’s a really stupid idea

I think Nascar needs a dirt race, but I don’t think Bristol should be the place

The race needs to be moved 1 to 2 weeks later in the year.

I honestly would hate to see NASCAR leave Bristol Dirt, because there’s only dirt racing in the Truck Series, but no dirt racing in the Cup Series. So why make dirt racing in the Cup Series a tradition. Sure there maybe some fans out there that think that traditional dirt racing in Cup is not a good idea, but for me, dirt racing was where I grew up with as a kid. So to see Cup Series dirt racing, it kind of takes me back to not only my younger days, but also to the NASCAR Roots.

@The Anonymous AcclerDew even than it couldn’t do a full truck field without sharing pits. No dirt track can do a full field cup race.

Yes. I’d only argue at least 3 dirt races. Make it worth the driver’s and teams time to prep and plan for dirt racing. And further run a different format. Split the field and run twin features with full points for both. This could also be done at the Charlotte dirt track, Texas dirt track, or Vegas dirt track on the Thursday night before the pavement race. Would be shorter races, better for weeknight prime time summer viewing.

I feel like Eldora is too small, maybe a little bit bigger would be more fitting
