What more could a real race fan want ?

@RedShiftRider I know which is why I said dale is huge for it, and IMO dale was the biggest piece of the puzzle, but even just missing one of the many pieces of the puzzle means that this doesn’t happen.

@Daniel Chai Dale Jr literally orchestrated a team and physically went to the track and cleaned it up with his bare hands. They pain stakingly cleaned the track so it could be laser scanned. Dale is humble and will never admit it, but without him pushing so hard for the track to be laser scanned for iRacing, and actually going out and DOING it with his bare hands, this never would have happened.

Great for Benny’s wife. But advocating for something, and going out and actually making it happen, are two very different things.

@Grandpa SharkYou might be surprised. Animated shows are pretty popular.

@John HaasOX does not have a huge Sunday night show do they? They do mainly the Simpsons and Family Guy. Those are staples, but moving those out of the late night slots for one week should have been easier with the writer’s strike.

Even if I don’t think it will be great, going back to the Chicago market was good, though not at the expense of Road America, which I liked as a road course.

@FishNFoolLuresWell, without the aid from the state, they never have a good motivation to do this financially speaking. Pretty sure Dale Jr is friendly with Governor Cooper and so is SMI and Marcus Smith. Marcus is different from his dad, it seems he does not buy tracks just to shut them down eventually. Though Kentucky being gone is concerning. But Jr won’t take too much credit.

I was at the race last fall which was supposed to be the last race on the old surface. Sitting high up, one row from the top of the bleachers between turns 1 and 2, after the paratroopers flew in the flag and the sun was setting my buddy looked around at the track, the colors of the sunset, and the colors of the mountaintops in the distance and just marveled at how beautiful it all was. Then the racing started! Heading out tomorrow to see all that it has to offer now. We’ll be in Section EE (Eric Estepp?) and cheering on the return of a legend.

What a amazingly good day of racing. Compared to last August this was just as special and will bring up emotions
