. . .Nascar is nuttier than I though if they are doing it deliberately.
They did and are.
The track was deliberately made into a
dirt covered track for whatever reason.
That's the part that I'm confused about.
I've been involved with dirt oval track
racing a good part of my adult life, so I'm
fairly familiar with it. But this was cars
that are purpose built and configured for
regular asphalt banked professional
nascar tracks, and not reconfigured for a
dirt track. Needless to say, the handling
and performance characteristics of the
two different kinds of cars needed for
either type of tracks are vastly different.
I can't figure cracking up a million dollar
car on a deliberately slick track for lack
of traction and handling
