Trucks at Eldora?

[Mr. Port]

I highly doubt a full field 36 trucks will show up.

Article on NASCAR.COM says 30 max...

[that guy 21]

Wouldn't that windshield get pretty mudded up once you have another truck in front of you?

Mud won't be an issue, dust.......ubetcha......

[Posse 19]

That truck was getting around there pretty good...I doubt the track will have that much bite when they put 30 of them out there..

I wonder if this race will pay points towards the championship?

[Metal Man12]

How many laps will they run?

I'm going to watch this race only to watch all these drivers wreck when they try and go 3 wide in a corner. If anyone thinks this is going to be anything but a wreck fest on a really bad racing surface you are nuts.

Totally agreed.

Yeah it's going to be ugly. I bet half those guys have never even raced on dirt before. Trucks will be spinning out every corner.

CH88 - Just found out that a buddy got tickets today for a couple of guys including Adam and me.
I wasn't planning on this one but looks like it's gonna work out that we'll be making a quick trip out and back.
It won't be anything like the Four Crown but it should be pretty cool.

[CH_88]

KWR- Hope you have a good time. Regardless of how it goes, it should be interesting either way.

Read on facebook via emma blaney that both Ryan and Dave will race in this event for Brad Keselowski Racing.

On speed tv last night it was reported that Scott Bloomquist will be in the race for Kyle Busch Motorsports

[NH Sprint Car Fan]

Eldora is a 4/10 mile im pretty sure. it would be far too short for a nascar trucks race.

Trucks have raced on smaller tracks than Eldora.
