Heard about this earlier, I'd love to see it happen.

It's officially on the schedule this upcoming year. You are going to see it happen.

I absolutely can't wait. It's going to be amazing to watch really.

What I can't believe is they are using the asphalt trucks with different tires and tweaking the setup.

I absolutely cannot wait to see that race.

Also, they also removed the truck splitters and are running much different spring packages.

That's still not a lot of difference, really.

I think it was JD that had family that raced asphalt modifieds. Well he may be able to tell you that a chassis for a dirt modified and a chassis for an asphalt modified are two completely different animals. I think it would be safe to say that these differences would apply for an asphalt truck and a dirt truck as well.

Yeah, my in-laws raced Asphalt modifieds for 30+ years. Closed up shop last year though. Car and Engine are for sale... and I got a whole raceshop to dig through and organize for possible ebay sales. I honestly don't know much about the difference in chassis since they never raced dirt ever.

My uneducated presumption for the trucks is that they probably shift nearly ALL the chassis weights to the drivers side to keep it from drifting too much.

Probably the oddest delay in NASCAR I've seen. 2007 Busch Series Snow Delay @ Bristol.

What about Juan Pablo Montoya hitting the jet dryer this past year at Daytona?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #88 on:** December 14, 2012, 05:35:11 PM »

And the pothole the previous year?

The funny thing about that was that they were already planning to repave the entire track before the next Daytona race in July... Not sure if coincidental...

If you're into oddball incidents on the racetrack, you should see some of these videos I found on YouTube. Some of the delays you mentioned are also in these.

There are all kinds of incidents of animals on the track every year. Hell, there was one time at the local dirt track, here, that they had to throw the caution due to a snapping turtle that was on the track. He was about a foot in diameter, too. The finally managed to pick him up with a shovel and get him into a safety truck so they could go turn it loose in the woods.

Here are some video's of NASCAR drivers narrowly avoiding disaster on the racetrack. Enjoy

You just posted that same vid a month ago.

"facepalm" I'll take that post down then.

This I have to say is a very good vid. Wish NASCAR still had some of these camera angles still.

Scrapyard24c · « **Reply #96 on:** March 22, 2013, 09:49:25 AM »

Just some randomness videos from the ARCA series.

I know Mark Martin has been racing for a long time, but this is probably the biggest screw-up of his career in NASCAR.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #98 on:** May 07, 2013, 04:22:43 PM »

I have to say that the ending to last weekend's race was awesome.
