I've should had done like Gaara did haha well, that's what you get when the series turns into the WWE on wheels, the only difference is that during this time no drivers got into a post race brawl I'm quite sure they'll deem this is as a big success and this race will stay forever |

Yeah well, we'll see Credit to Briscoe to trying, but a week of social media teasing by the fans calling him a wuss for not being a real man and fighting him or whatever else he'll get, plus Briscoe on his front bumper and lets see how he reacts |

i was worried how the new cars would race on the dirt, but watching from the stands i can tell you it was a great race. lots of side by side action, lots of contact and passing, and props to nascar for not calling the race too soon. the entire night there were guys sitting in my section who made it a point to boo and give kyle the double bird everytime he drove by. i'm not a kyle fan by any means, but it was hilarious to see their faces when he won in the last 200ft

Thank you. Agree completely. Dirt *needs* to stay and grow in the Cup series. Yes, there were some problems, but they can be ironed out. For anyone to say dirt needs to go when we have four absolute jokes of a race at Daytona and Talladega each year is hypocrisy at its finest. Dirt requires immense driving skill and racecraft, it's exciting to watch and adds variety to a schedule that was growing increasingly stale with big, boring asphalt venues (even short tracks like Richmond and Martinsville are no longer that interesting at the highest level). I read that even Richard Petty was against dirt making a return but he spent his career in an era when NASCAR was stigmatized for racing on dirt, and at that time, the move to vast, opulent, and pristine asphalt ovals was seen as "progress" by everyone involved. |

The dirt just needs to be put on the right track, or you know, go to a dedicated dirt track… |

Like using the infield go-kart tracks at Charlotte and Indy instead of dedicated road courses. |

Bristol might be for the better anyway gives them some hype to stand behind as "it's one of their own" - when a typical dirt track (Eldora, Knoxville) wouldn't outshadow the fact that it's a expensive as hell ticket for cars that run the same times (if not slower) than the local shit stock or bang banger feature (while Winged 410's and Super Late Models are 7 to 8 seconds quicker) |

IMO it's the 2nd best setup for Bristol after it's original panel beating layout Everything was great, they tried to "fix it", made it shit, tried to fix it again, made it shit, then added dirt and it's at least something unique on the schedule I agree it'd be better if they just took the cup to Eldora when the trucks go there but at least this is *something* trying to be unique rather than the same old shit |
