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?
