What’s Happening?

NASCAR announced that Bristol Dirt is no more in 2024. Bristol Motor Speedway will have two race dates in 2024, and both of those dates will be on the 0.533-mile concrete track. NASCAR has not yet announced the race dates for 2024 according to Bob Pockrass.

You Need to Know:

  • It’s safe to say that Bristol Dirt has been a controversial race ever since it was introduced in 2021. Some people said that NASCAR has no place racing on dirt period, but others claim that NASCAR can race on dirt just not at Bristol. NASCAR did not state whether or not there would be a dirt race in the series at another location in 2024. However, there is also no certainty on where in the calendar the Bristol dates will fall in 2024.
  • This also puts to bed speculation about Bristol’s spring date being taken away for 2024. Many suggested that Bristol’s spring date may be dropped in favor of a points race at North Wilkesboro or another track on the schedule. With Bristol officially getting two race dates once again in 2024, North Wilkesboro’s path to a points date seems much less clear, and it seems likely that if North Wilkesboro is on the 2024 schedule, it will be as the All-Star Race once again.
  • Fans’ opinion on this is very split on this decision. Some fans are excited to see the spring date at Bristol return to the concrete just like it traditionally has always been. However, others enjoyed the race on dirt and they were sad to see the dirt race go.

Around the Garage

Brian Murphy says that this is “Absolutely fantastic news!”

In the Stands

Sam likes the move to bring Bristol back to the concrete for the spring race.

Austin is upset as he liked the dirt race because it was different.

big ol’ doofus said that the dirt race was the best product on a short track this year, so he does not like them taking away the dirt race at Bristol.

whys0seri0u5 says that Bristol is just too good of a race track to put a race on dirt.

NASCARWoman is on the fence about this decision as she thought NASCAR would wait to see how the race would go this weekend first.

Seth went to all-caps to explain his opinion on the decision.

Steve Paris says that Bristol needs only one date.

Brett says that people need to actually show up for the spring date this time around.

…. hopes to see another dirt track race on the schedule

Colbert says there are plenty of proper dirt tracks they can go to, so why keep going to Bristol Dirt?

somenascarjunk hopes to see the spring race get good turnout.

Ross Belkin wants to see NASCAR go to another dirt track race next year.

Darian says RIP to Dirt Bristol.

Danielle Trotta adds that the dirt is not gone forever, so what could Bristol’s dirt be used for in the future?

This announcement puts to bed a lot of speculation regarding the 2024 schedule. Now that Bristol’s spring date will officially be on concrete, it raises the question of what other dirt tracks NASCAR could go to, if any at all.

NASCAR Suspends Multiple Cup Series Crew Members After COTA

by Bryan Aguiar

What’s Happening?

Two NASCAR Cup Series crew members for Ross Chastain’s No. 1 team were suspended following the race at Circuit of the Americas

  • The crew members suspended were rear-tire changer Josh Appleby and jackman Kenneth Pozega.
  • They will be sidelined for two weeks, missing the races at Phoenix Raceway on March 8th and Las Vegas on March 15th.
  • The penalty comes after Ross Chastain had a loose wheel at Circuit of the Americas while running 13th. On lap 75, his wheel detached from the car, bringing out a caution. Right after the incident, Chastain was also held for 2 laps as part of the penalty, as specified in the rulebook.
  • Chastain ended up finishing 35th after winning stage 1 and grabbing the fastest lap of the race. The result dropped him 9 spots on the point standings. He sits 20th with 64 points, 4 behind Ryan Preece, who holds the final Chase spot for now.
  • It’s the first time in the 2026 NASCAR season that crew members have been penalized for a loose wheel outside of pit road.

Too Many Road Courses In NASCAR? | New Power Rankings Post-COTA!

by Bryan Aguiar

Four road courses on the schedule, and somehow that’s enough to spark one of the biggest debates in the garage. After recent comments from Brad Keselowski questioning the business value of road racing, the conversation has picked up serious steam. Is NASCAR leaning too far into it, or is the current balance about right?

  • Are road courses truly underperforming in ratings and attendance compared to traditional ovals?
  • Does a venue like Circuit of the Americas represent a growth opportunity, or schedule oversaturation?
  • Should NASCAR prioritize sponsor markets over competitive variety?
  • And what does the ideal long-term schedule balance actually look like?

There are valid points on both sides, from sponsorship realities to fan traditions to competitive diversity. Some tracks have gained traction. Others have struggled. The question isn’t just whether road courses belong, but how many make sense within a 36-race season. It’s less about extremes and more about direction. And with future schedule changes always looming, this debate probably isn’t settled anytime soon.
