Yeah, Danica is aging into a stunningly beautiful woman. I hope she has better luck on the track.

I see that the NASCAR Camping World Truck series has added a race at Eldora Speedway for 2013. It will be run on Wednesday night during Indy NASCAR week.

Hmmmmmm, 1/2 mile high banked clay oval. Ought to be fun.


Thoughts?

The trucks on dirt? We're making the turn back to racing!!! Hell yeah!!!

Good luck gettin a ticket for that one!Should be cool tho!

It will probably be pretty boring. They will prep the track to be dry and slick, and maybe, MAYBE, it will get a blue groove and produce some racing, but I doubt it. And if they step out of that undoubtedly narrow groove it's going to be an express ride into the wall.

Youtube ARCA Springfield Mile and you'll get an idea of what's in store.

Comparing the flat 1 mile oval at Springfield to the high banked 1/2 mile at Eldora is like that apples and oranges thing. Springfield is designed as a horse track, Eldora as a car track.

Yeah, I know they are different animals. I still think the body guys are going to be very busy.

What's next, right turns?

Hey don't get me wrong, I love dirt track racing, I'm just used to them not having any fenders

Yep, and not only that it will be in Canada!!? Sept 1st at the Canadian Tire Motorcsports Park in Ontario will be the only road course on the 2013 truck schedule. By the way, Eldora is a night race too!?!

The trucks have race on Road Courses in the past.

Evergreen, Watkins Glen Topeka and now Canada

Yes, we even raced in the Rain

Real Racing.

Go Figure

Busch cars @Mid Ohio

The reason Tony Stewart won't run indy is because he can't fit into the car.

ala AJ

Yeah, but Foyt is huge...Tony is a little tiny fat boy. Yeah, he claims 5'9", but he's really 5'5".

Keep turning left !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, after nearly two years away due to rotten races and general hokiness, I'm watching the Sprint Unlimited race in Daytona tonight.

The Good:

The new car looks great. Hopefully it'll race that way, too.

Brad Keselowski is good on TV, but they should let him do shots during the commercial breaks.

The Bad:

The race format is lame and contrived. Choose Miss Sprint Cup's firesuit? WTF?

Ol' DW makes my brain sad.


I'll be interested to see how the 500 goes next Sunday.

I see Wind Tunnel is being cut to a half hour to make room for more dumb shit programming.
