Can trucks actually run at Eldora?
Current NASCAR
Hmmm. Not sure which 60s cars you are speaking of Andy.Some of them that ran on the dirt weighted closer to 4000 pounds. But, I too wonder how that track is going to hold up. It has a tendacy to get rougher than most dirt tracks during a race. Those earlier stock cars rode a little higher, too. I think there will need to be some basic adjustments for racing trucks on dirt.
Having said that....I'm all for the exercise. I think it will be very popular and a good test to see if it brings out a new (formerly the old) fan base.
As Bruton Smith said in a recent article..."truck racing might make it they raced with a 200lb hog in the back". The series needs some help.
Being a country (hillbilly) farm boy, I like the trucks and would like to see the series make it. I think they need to bring it and the Nationwide series back to the smaller venues...and to throuw in some dirt racing gets my support and vote.
I grew up around and raced on dirt tracks. That is where racing began for me. to see one (or two) of NASCAR's top series on dirt excites the hell out of me.
