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.

These two leave nothing on the table when racing each other. It has been fun to watch.

Since this could be the last weekend forever you don't want to miss it.

Hard to believe this may be it for STS.Hopefully someone steps up soon.
