You must be referring to facilities or something as the racing there definitely does not suck.

Great to hear of this Berlin rumour though. Hope it's true.

Trucks need to go back to more short tracks. Especially considering crowds like last night. The stands were virtually empty.

This is random:

A.J Allmendinger will replace Bobby Labonte in the 47 for next week at Michigan. One race deal with more possible.
JTG wants someone else in the car instead of Bobby, so I guess he has been fired from the team.

Berlin Raceway, in Michigan? Aww, I was kind of hoping Toledo would get some consideration.


Toledo's nice but the pit road is very narrow, I don't know what NASCAR's requirements are when it comes to that. ARCA will start 35 cars if they can there so 36 trucks wouldn't be a huge deal.

I'd like to see Salem or Winchester(but not at the expense of an ARCA race) but they probably don't have enough seats.

Of course there's a nice little short track up in Indy that isn't getting much TV time these days....

Apparently it's for 5 races, and JTG-Daugherty seem to be looking for sponsors for 5 races, maybe AJ could be bringing in some cash?

On the subject of the Trucks possibly coming to Berlin as early as next year, I can see that happening.

But I really wish the Trucks went back to Evergreen. Or better yet, maybe the Trucks or Nationwide should race on the Portland road course.

When was the last time Bobby wasn't in a Cup race?

Racing Reference says he has started every race since the 1993 Daytona 500.

Surely he'll pick up a ride by Michigan, at least from a start and park that wants a guaranteed spot on the grid.

Maybe he had a falling out with the team? Or just didn't do enough to keep the sponsors happy, he's not as media friendly as Ambrose was for instance.

I think the K&N Pro Series West ran a race there last year, but discontinued it for this year because of lack of sponsorship.

Would be nice if USCR scheduled a race there soon but I don't seen Indycar ever coming back there, sadly :(

With the Bobby situation, I love him but Ambrose wheeled that car better. It's that time Bobby, don't turn into Terry.

Topline single-seaters have pretty much outgrown the track unfortunately

Seemed like Bobby was just driving for a paycheck the past few years anyway.

Someone made a 'raced' diecast of Larson's Daytona car..
