452 - Short Tracks, We Need to Fix This

After NASCAR’s triumphant return to North Wilkesboro Speedway, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and co-host Mike Davis are back in the Bojangles Studio to recap the weekend. Why the weekend was very much a success, the NextGen car’s short track package problems once again were on display and provided much to discuss:

• The new format was designed to showcase the track
• Rain tire experiment during the heat races
• How do we fix the short-track package?
• The future of stock car racing at short tracks is in jeopardy

During the Ask Jr. portion of the episode, listeners sent in questions regarding:

• Dale’s most sought-after throwback t-shirt
• Weird Christmas gifts
• NASCAR having elimination qualifying like the Indianapolis 500
• Will the return of North Wilkesboro spark other lost speedway revivals?
