North Wilkesboro front straightaway is downhill and the back is uphill...
They were making a big deal about it on Sunday’s race coverage. Will have to watch.
I worked for Elmo Langley back in the early ‘70’s...I was his Jack Man...
A NASCAR fan wrote on another site that there are too many races in southwestern Virgina/NC/SC and that the fanbase cannot support going to all of these races with the high cost of attendance.
Spreading the races around means more sellouts and higher revenue.
Personally, the best track in NASCAR was the Fontana, CA “Auto Club Speedway” track built by Roger Penske in 1997.
It is 1.5 miles long in a “D” shaped oval and is very wide and not steeply banked. Passing can occur almost anywhere and there are many “lanes” to run, depending on track conditions.
They are talking about ripping it up and putting a small track in its place and selling off the excess land.
Yuk.
As I recall, Benny Parsons was a cab driver who got his racing start down the road from where I grew up, the Mt Clemens Speedway in Michigan.
I quit nascar when they went all woke.
People still support this woke crap?
I'm kind of surprised they're going back to race there. It was an iconic track, but it had all kinds of operational and financial constraints that made it ill-suited to modern racing.
$14 million of the $18 million renovation cost paid by a government over $30 trillion in debt. Meanwhile North Carolina roads an highways are filled with potholes and cracks.
Biden and the Dems scream nothing can be cut from the budget. Insanity rules.
BTW- the pic in Post 1 is a LINK to the Bob Pockrass Twitter video.
I’m going to watch Ross Chastain piss everyone off lol
