I don't know how far back you are going about wrecking the wrecker. I've seen it many times years ago. But attitudes have changed a lot since then. Do that now and you could have a gun fight in the pits.Besides if you intentionally start wrecking him you are not much different than he. I've read a few accounts of bats , jack handles and helmets being used instead in recent years. If it is one guy that is the problem just ban him. Get rid of the one gain three or four. I've seen this done recently and yes it takes a strong promoter to do it.Another reason I couldn't be one.

It is tough enough already without the weather making it harder.

It is a bad idea for NASCAR in particular. As for watching I will probably follow what I do for the other NASCAR races except for Daytona and Talladega. Catch the last 40 laps.

As a fan a 14 car feature is the least I hope for. Don't get me wrong a full field of 24 is better most of the time. There are many times a 12-14 car field puts on a better race with less yellows and crashing. Nothing is worse than calling a 20 lap feature after 12 laps. Fortunately that doesn't happen often at the South Texas tracks. I suppot my home track in Corpus almost every event and go to I-37 and Texana as much as I can because the promoters and racers deliver and have for sometime. I'd go to Cotton Bowl more often if it wasn't so far away. So South Texas promoters keep up the good work!

I agree as well. At first I though NASCAR on dirt would be good. But no. Now the truck race at Eldora is a good race.

It is going to be interesting to see how Factory Stock count holds up.The past few years they were the best thing going for the fan (at least this fan). Lots of car count , great racing throughout the pack. But now that the price tag is getting to be over $10,000 for a car we shall see if that continues. I have noticed Sportmods are struggling at some of the South Texas tracks. Hope that improves. Then there is all the things going on in the"real world". That is going to make it tough on the racer and the fan.

Maybe next time Gibbs will take his helmet off.

I hope I don't anger anyone if I answer these questions at least from a fans point of view. Been a fan for 64 years so I've seen a lot. The B Factory Stock came about last years. The purpose is to give the underfunded teams that tend to run the back of the field a chance to have competitive racing and learn a little along the way. I know Pure Stock is an option and that may be considered later. It was an out of the box idea I thought was good enough to try.As for the E-Mods. There is a big difference between them and Sportmods. This class was started several years ago at then South Texas Speedway to give 1/ A good starter class for the younger drivers to get involved and / an opportunity for those holding on to old sportmods(and there were many at the time) to sell and recycle to E-Mod. The class at the now South Texas Rance Ranch has grown to 15 - 20 cars. I-37 is testing to see if it can grow there. I know all the tracks in South Texas are working hard to get the programs over before 11 PM and they are successful more than they are not. As a fan I don't like low car counts either. And I bet promoters don't like it more than me. It takes a special person to be a track promoter. The ones I've seen in Corpus , Pleasanton and Edna have done a great job over the years. Not an easy job.

The changes made to the Atlanta track made a great difference for the better. Very good race. Is it my imagination or has there been more tire failures this season than before?

Agreed. But we do get Danica for a few races!

Daytona and Talladega always deliver. Truck race was great.

Well as for Indy car I watch the Indy 500 but not the World 600 , or whatever they call it now, and Indy Car at Michigan and Texas over NASCAR.But I am excited for 2/26 at I-37!

Well since the Olympic ratings hit an all time low , weekend viewership down 50% from last one,I'd say NASCAR benefited from that. Whatever it was a home run event.

Gotta give NASCAR a tip of the hat for a job well done.Format was right by putting the attention on the last transfer spots. I generally don't like bulldozer type racing but it is fun to watch. Next track has to be Bowman-Gray. Similar type of track that seats close to 10,000.

Spot on about BMS and agree with what you told the lady from California.

Rodney , you mean asphalt short track racing , right? I'm going into this with low expectations that way I'll be pleasantly surprised when it goes well.

Ought to interesting. NASCAR version of Bowman-Gray. I agree with NASCAR on Bristol dirt not good. Now dirt cars at Bristol was a great idea.

Probably be held in Florida.

Looked at the video and that is what the man said. Also said purse money is already in hand.

Happy and safe New Years to you , Mr. Holt , and to all the Texas race teams especially those who raced I-37 , Texana and South Texas Speedway. May 2022 bring successful seasons to all the promoters.

Well said Mr. HiTech.

This is great news!!!

For what it is worth the SUS Sprint car series have on their schedule two dates for Texana and one date at South Texas Speedway in 2022.
