Can we all agree, Dales doing more to advance the sport than any driver of the last 20 years?

As a 1992 Miata owner, this makes me very excited!

If you think this is nuts, watch the MX-5 Cup races at Daytona. It’s the road course, but they’re still bump drafting and rubbing, the cars are momentum racers so they race hard and close and it’s always wild. They’re crazy fun wherever they go, Martinsville would be a blast.

Interesting idea- but I would rather see them racing down the highway at VIR like they will be doing this weekend.

Not the first time, I believe.

There’s one time when he drove Ford late model for Bobby Hamilton’s team, which resembled the Petty Blue No.43.
However, the 4 was taped over to leave just the 3.

This isn’t the crossover I was expecting, but I’m all here for it being a nascar fan who drives a mk3 Miata

I watched the MX-5 races at Daytona road course & Tampa street course that Indycar runs. Very good racing.

I would drive from SC just to see this! I’ve been to MX-5 Cup races at Daytona (for the 24hr race) and at Road Atlanta (for Petit Le Mans). Let’s see what the normal MX-5 Cup field can do here with maybe a few NASCAR drivers mixed in!

Edit: I would keep the MX-5 Cup cars to making appearances at short tracks, road courses, and street circuits for safety reasons. There have been some nasty crashes over the years but thankfully it’s been at speeds where the chance of serious harm is reduced. Those roll cages are built tough, but they were never meant to go faster than the Daytona Roval!
