^ I never heard of that one, but I did watch NASCAR West Series at Laguna Seca, back before the cars got downsized. Big old 3600 pound full sized 1977 Monte Carlos, Torinos and Chargers in the Corkscrew =

Sprint Cars are just madness. Especially when you put them on the concrete at Bristol!
These are real sprint cars:

^ On a dirt racing forum, my sig was:
"Wings on a Sprint Car are like training wheels on a Harley"
However, most of my customers race winged sprinters and took offense to that

that's because it takes a ball sack to go around a track that fast! having talked to a person who has driven both (you probably heard of him Dave Steele) he says "there's no comparison on which one takes more commitment and more skill to drive" that being the Winged sprint.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Dave Steele is a pavement only kind of guy...big difference....BIG DIFFERENCE.
Have you ever been to a proper USAC non-wing show on a properly prepared dirt track? The racing is far superior. Toss a wing on a 410 and you end up with single-file boredom for 30 laps, it takes balls to hold your foot to the floor for sure, but there's practically 0 passing
Think I'm off base? Come on up to my house outside Cincinnati in mid-July, I'll take you around to Indiana Sprint Week...your tune will change.

Well in fl there isnt much for dirt tracks but did see a winged 410 race on dirt in ocala and yes it was rather boring but on asphalt with non winged cars its the same as a 410 winged car on dirt, speaking from when usac had the "money" race a few years back

All of this being said, I'm a fan of all forms; dirt & pavement, winged & non-winged...I used to love going to see the ISMA super modifieds...talk about scary fast.
Nascar has nothing on these guys

Talk about having giant sized sacks: Supers on the mile at Phoenix. Scary fast.

For next years Cup series, the cars will look much more like their road counterparts. Ford will still race the Fusion, Dodge will still race the Challenger, and Chevrolet have been rather quiet.. Till now.
Holden to announce export of the Commodore to U.S. as Chevrolet SS: Holden will announce tomorrow an export program for the Commodore, which will see the Adelaide [Australia] made car become a race and showroom star in the United States. Though sales of the Elizabeth-produced sedan continue to slide in Australia, a Commodore V8 will be exported to America where it will be sold with the Chevrolet SS Performance badge. In that guise, it would also star for the heartland brand in the NASCAR stock car racing series, which runs second only to Formula One in global popularity. Holden has been testing left-hand drive cars on public roads in Victoria in recent weeks and running it head-to-head with one of its strongest potential rivals, the Dodge Charger, as it finalises its end of the important new deal. Motorsport sources in the USA hint that an announcement of the Chevrolet SS program is imminent, including the Holden connection. The coming VF Commodore as the donor car for the program ticks the boxes for American muscle car fans, and NASCAR stock car racing as well, thanks to its V8 engine, large body and rear-wheel drive. Former GM Holden president Mark Reuss, now the head of GM operations in the US and a known fan and supporter of the Commodore, dodged Carsguide's questions on a link between the SS program and the Commodore. Holden chairman Mike Devereux also refused to comment on the strengthening rumours in the US, which were triggered by the announcement. Full-scale testing of the racer is expected to begin soon, and the bodywork expected to be revealed at the same time.()(5-16-2012)

^ I hate correcting other people's posts, but in Cup, Dodge uses the Charger. They use the Challenger in Nationwide.

I knew that...
For some reason I wrote Challenger.. I had just been looking at a picture of the '13 Cup Charger too.. That's odd.

Nascar road racing: once in a blue moon 
At least TASCAR has more Road Course racing than the series its trying to emulate.
just hope FM5 on the new console can handle more than 16 players for some epic battles throughout the lobby
