Craftsman Truck series to race at El Dora in 2013!
That will be cool seeing them go back to the dirt!


I heard that on MRN. They say lots of big names are looking for rides for that race. You could see Tony, Jeff and Kyle racing that race.

You sure don't see that anymore, where the guys do a double header with the Indy and the 600. That was a real marathon for the drivers. Other than Smoke, who else did the double header? AJ Foyt...I know there were a couple of other guys that did it when Smoke did it, I just can't recall who

John Andretti was one that I can think of.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..........and I thought we were friends Brew? Lol.

Just pokin' fun Snopro... thanks for the head up that Nascar was on. Love the test cars in the flat grey or black paint schemes and numbers in colour... looks totally cool. The new bodies do look kinda goofy though - all three brands. Strange with no Dodges out there...

I like the cars. They will look sweet when they have there best shine on for the 500. There has got to be a few Dodge exec's shaking there heads right now.

Rumor is they are making a pitch to Michael Andretti Racing. He wants into the sport and is looking at manufacturers and wining and dining sponsors.

Nascar has a new track drying system they will be debuting this season. Supposed to cut track drying by 80%. Could affect beer sales at the track. Lol.

I heard about this on PRN fast talk. Sounds like high pressure to blow the water to the inside of the track and then have a "vacuum" system to suck up the water.

Said they will be able to dry martinsville in 15 minutes.

They claim it will be safer than the jet dryer but i dont think they have thought that part through. If they have a high pressure tank and somebody runs into it (like juan pablo) its gonna become an unguided missile

Yeah that is what they are saying. That will be great if it works. It will save alot of fans at the track a bunch of grief. Wait, wait wait and then they call the race.

I bet there are. My guess is Dodge is back in a year or two.
Rumor that Dodge is eyeing up RCR for a possible return to the sport in 2014. Hmmmm that would be big considering Childress's long alliance with Chevy.

Word is Kyle Busch has resigned a long term contract with JGR. All 3 of there drivers are locked in long term right now. That team looked very stout in Daytona testing, especially Kenseth.

I really hope this rumour does not come true... would be hard to see Richard moving from Chevy but you never know what can happen in NASCAR - Petty is running Fords etc...
