Dirt tracks in NASCAR?

Question

Would you like to see a Dirt Track added to the NASCAR circuit? I for one would. Texas Motor Speedway here is so d**n boring they should throw some dirt on it and then we could have some fun, but it would be much to long.

Is there a chance of a dirt track bring added to the circuit?

Answer 1

lol have you seen what happens to those cars splitters when they take a trip through the dirt??? That would NEVER work without some major modifications to the car. But it would be interesting. Never gonna happen. But it would be cool to see all 43 guys on dirt. The guys like Gordon, Edwards, Bowyer, and Stewart would have some kinda advantage on the rest of the field!

Answer 2

sorry to say but never gonna happen..the COT is not for dirt racing..at this point i don't even know if they ready for any track...Nascar needs to take a REAL look at at the problems and give the teams some lead way and make changes as needed.. or at least give them a break and LISTEN to the engineers for a change

PapaBill..WTG love your answer!

Answer 3

NASCAR on dirt would be very interesting but never gonna happen. Most of todays drivers are the biggest bunch of whiners. They want to be able to jump in a car, floor it and just run around the track for a couple of hours. Dirt is way more finese with the throttle and brakes and not so much engineering. There are a handful of drivers that could cut the mustard on dirt and you usually see them at the Prelude to the Dream running Late Models at Eldora.

Answer 4

Texas is boring?!?!  Do you remember the great race last year between Jimmie Johnson and Matt Kenseth in the fall?  I like Texas and the high speeds they run there and would not call that boring.  A dirt track would be cool but it's not going to happen.

Answer 5

The drivers would love it,but NASCAR and the corporate sponsors don't want it.ARCA runs dirt at Springfield and DuQuoin Illinois,both are 1 mile dirt tracks.

Personnally I'd love to see a good cup race on dirt.

Answer 6

NO! Those cars are NOT designed to run on dirt! Get a clue!

Answer 7

u realize wat ur asking is like asking

"why do baseball players not shoot baskets?" because that's what basketball is for!

"Why do nascar drivers not race on dirt?" because that's whatd dirt racing is for!

Answer 8

Yea, at Tony Stewart's track, Eldora!

Answer 9

Current car couldn't do it. But with a few tweaks it could be done. ARCA to the best of my memory used to race at Pensacola FL, a dirt track. ARCA cars are similar to the "car of yesterday" so with a few tweaks COT could do it. But where? Eldora is great but if all 43 is going to race and pit we're talking bigger track.

Answer 10

There is always a chance anything can happen, but a snow ball's chance in h**l isn't a very good one.

Answer 11

It would be great, but it's never gonna happen.  Imagine the expense of preparing yet another car/cars for one dirt race a year.
