Dale Jr deserves a lot of credit as well for his efforts to clean/clear the track surface so iRacing could scan and preserve it in the virtual world! Remember during the pandemic and the NASCAR Virtual Races on were TV, .....North Wilkesboro was the last race in that series! Dale Jr ran that race using the Ralph Earnhardt throw back paint scheme that the announcers failed to notice/mention as well!

@Jay-gf8tm Жыл бұрын

S1ap's video on this was a plant by nascar executives to hype the return of the good old days. This has been in the works for years, there's a reason why Dale Jr. and Bright Sun Films all had videos come out all around the same time. They are just selling you another product like bristol dirt.

Being a Wilkes native, I am excited to attend the race Sunday. My gut is telling me the Smith's and SMI will just milk this for a few years and then let it die again, but I hope that my gut is wrong. Racing is at its best on short tracks in small towns. Part of NASCAR's problem was growing too big too fast, there's abolutely no need for anything the size of CMS or TMS where the core demographic is priced out of attending just by the ticket cost.

Leaving North Wilkesboro was the first domino to fall in a string of awful decisions that changed NASCAR from the fastest growing sport in America to a stale boring hollow shell of its former self. NASCAR thru the years has hired terrible leaders, Phelps for example like many today failed up his entire career. To NASCARs credit, many recent decisions like this have been a step in the right direction.

Here is an idea, why not use it for driver development? You want more minorities to get into the sport there is a perfect spot for a NASCAR drivers school. You can split time between it and Bowman Gray then move them up to the Arca and so on. It could also be the test track for car/tire development.

Drivers get picked by coming up through the ranks from Local, to regional, to Touring with Smaller series, to landing a ride in the lower Sanctioned Nascar Series, and finally making it to Busch, excuse me, Xfinity, or Trucks. And most of that honestly, and unfortunately, is who has the money more than the who has the skill.
