Not sure why that Mini was even entered. You wanted the Mini at slow, twisty circuits when road racing and on ovals, they'd have perhaps been similarly capable contenders on dirt tracks or really short asphalt tracks but certainly not big, fast Darlington..

I miss that aspect of racing very much. Cars today are almost bulletproof across all disciplines and you don't have as much of that unpredictability brought in by the reliability factor anymore.

Tony Wants Sprint Cup at Eldora

They should hold the All-Star race on the dirt track near Charlotte Motor Speedway. It'd actually be worth watching then.

It would be the best thing to happen to Cup racing in a long time. There's not a SINGLE dull moment during the Eldora truck race. How many cookie cutter asphalt tracks can you say that about?It's odd to say but the only way NASCAR can dig itself out of the hole it's in is by adding more dirt.
Winchester ARCA Better than NASCAR Daytona, F-1 Silverstone or IndyCar Pocono

That video brought back memories of Craven-Busch at Darlington 2003. Cars dancing around and bumping and banging and 'almost' taking each other out.
