Did you enjoy that last year Chadd? Ray and I both hated it. I’m a dirt guy but just not with stock cars. Put them all in winged dirt cars and I’ll watch

I really wanna see what these cars will do on it. I think they can take more of beating. There going to get loose. I just wanna see some old fashion grinding.

Well I hope they can see out their windshields and the rads don’t plug again

Ace Ventura boys. Head out the side. Lol

The stock car racing on dirt reminds me of their roots. Running backroads from the police during prohibition.
Yep, it sucks that their rads plug up, but doesn’t that put more emphasis on thinking outside the box? The crews have their cars dialled in over the years to all the tracks. Now they have to start over, and they’re all in the same boat. New cars, new tires, new track surface. It just makes it more interesting to me. It gives the smaller teams who don’t have the backing, a chance. I could be wrong.

If nascar wants to play in the dirt they should take it to Eldora or Knoxville with proper dirt cars. As a fan of dirt racing I did suffer through last years race at Bristol but I won't do it this year.

These new cars will be worse on the dirt. Rad Inlet and outlet will both plug now.
I agree go to Tony’s track will dirt built cars. Like cheaper 50 grand ones. Be a awesome race then.
No high tech. Just dirt cars sliding

50g doesn't buy much for a dirt late model car. The top guys at Skagit speedway in the early 90's were already over 100g back then.

I see NASCAR tested the next Gen car at Bristol the other day with no windshield in the car. See how that goes I guess

NASCAR truck series star Hailie Deegan returned to the track for last nights truck race at Martinsville after missing a race because of death threats from a stalker. Hopefully NASCAR does something so her year end points total isn’t affected to bad for something totally out of her control.

For all you diehard Nascar fans remember that this weekend is non traditional scheduling. Tonight at 5 is the Xfinity race and tomorrow night is the Cup race. Saturday night racin' in the paperclip boys!

Qualifying is over at the paper clip. Some huge surprises in the top 10. Congrats to Chase Elliott for delivering the goods today:

We were watching it until the first rain storm, then left to go sledding. How was the race?
Jr did comment before the race that everyone was kicking his ass during qualifying.

He regrouped to get into the top ten then had his team mate move him late after he had moved him earlier. Be an interesting competition meeting Monday lol. It was a wreckfest at the end. A caution every lap 3 times in a row. Entertaining though and after the race we even had a fist fight on pit row by Gibbs and Mayer
