The amazing stat...............maybe I read it wrong. It only cost a million to do that track??
Maybe 65 assuming 10+ cars. It's just going to be a traffic jam simulator.
The size of this "track" would be better for Formula Drift than Nascar
Yeah, contractors get that much down here to put up traffic lights!
How are you going to fit all the cars on that track and actually have any semblance of a race? Parade route it looks like to me. Also, Bristol is loud but I cannot imagine how unbelievably loud this place would be. The surrounding area will not like the noise pollution that comes from this, I guarantee.
I have tickets and I am super excited to go. I think the lineup for the A-main is only 24 cars. They are doing heat races and an LCQ prior to the A-Main.
this might be worth watching... This would be better than the 1-1/2 to 2 mile tracks that are all about fuel mileage. Let's do some short track grass roots racing and see if we can knock some fenders off!
to be fair I haven't watched 100 laps of NASCAR in the last 5+ years... They lost me with stage racing and the political BS. I use to be a very loyal fan and have been to a few races in the past. I was also brand loyal to many sponsors. Now I'd rather watch short track / dirt racing and shop with my wallet not my allegiance to a driver(s).
just my $0.02

This is also the first race for the NextGen car. It is a complete redesign, really very similar to a Australian V8 Supercar. About the only parts that carry over from the old car are the seat, steering wheel, and the engine.
NASCAR has always been SAF anyway... never understood why my dad always wasted half of his Sundays watching that slow/drawn out boring ass crap.
The old Mickey Thompson off road racing days were great at the Coliseum. NASCAR? Not much excitement in a 1/4 mile circle. Is it 1000 laps?
I'm excited to see how this new car performs. I love the Australian V8 supercars, I think this is a step in the right direction for NASCAR.
It seems odd that Nascar would put a brand new next Generation car in a 1/4 mile Crash fest, what a waste if a bunch of them get torn up!
40% goes to the union bosses and 40% goes to the government employee that approved the contract . The remainder is labor and product
Probably coming from a guy that spends hours watching overpaid, "oppressed" pansies play in the NFL...
Uh nope, lmao... don't care for sports on any level as it's a waste of time, energy and resources that can be much better spent on other more productive measures in life.Probably coming from a guy that spends hours watching overpaid, "oppressed" pansies play in the NFL...
My wife and I are going, and we're excited about it.
Racing has been a big part of our 45 year marriage. We've been to the 24 Hours of Le Mans and at this very moment are planning a trip to the 2022 Indy 500. I'd estimate we've been to well over 75 races, at least. Everything from NASCAR to CART to IndyCar to IMSA to SCCA.

Edit: I worked with and knew Jimmy Vasser's mother in the late '70s. A nice woman. He was racing quarter midgets at the time. He won the Indy 500 and CART season Championship in 1996 driving for Ganassi.
