I went to both of these events 2000 & 2001 (still have the ticket stubs too), awesome racing, wish they would do it again...I even walked away with a right rear tire off of Sammy Swindell's car
@426hemiscamp its because the TV networks just don't want to cover them. IF they would put in the effort, they would be rewarded with HUGE ratings. TNN and the other networks that showed sprint car/late model races always had awesome ratings. They quit doing it so they wouldn't knock NASCAR off its pedistal. I love NASCAR, but as a shirt I bought at the late model nationals in Knoxville says, "If it aint on dirt, it aint racin'." :)

At about 4:05, the track is getting rutted. Good thing the race is just about over. They would tear the track apart otherwise.

Bristol Motor Speedway's concrete track was covered with over 14,000 cubic yds. of Clay to make this event happen. Thanks for posting.
