“Entire Move is Dumb” – Amid Excitement Over North Wilkesboro Speedway Returning to NASCAR, Some Fans Have Concerns

Earlier today, a massive bombshell dropped when NASCAR announced the return of the North Wilkesboro Speedway. In other words, Dale Earnhardt Jr’s efforts will finally see fruition. As it turns out, the recently restored Speedway will play host to the NASCAR All-Star race in 2023. Naturally, this had so many people excited and happy to see a classic NASCAR venue return.

Just recently, the track played host to a Late Model race, one in which Dale Earnhardt Jr competed.

Needless to say, it was a resounding success among the fans and the racing community, and NASCAR evidently noticed.

What were the NASCAR fans so concerned about?

However, amid all the praise, there were some voices who aired a few concerns about the news. According to many, the biggest concern is the infrastructure at the iconic venue. Some revealed that it was very difficult for people to get to the track itself, and that included Dale Jr. So it is possible that a lot of money will be wasted in repairing the roads and the surrounding area. Overall, the critics believe that the entire move is ‘dumb’ and that NASCAR should not regress backward.

Others fear that although they love the move, it is far too early for the track to make its NASCAR comeback, especially considering that it has just hosted one race, and NASCAR is making its decision based on that single race. A few people are even concerned that people may end up not liking the race because it is a short track. This is because there have been many critics about the Next Gen cars racing on short tracks.

Some believe that it could end up like how the Clash at the LA Coliseum was. In other words, while this may look good on paper, they are worried about how the race will pan out in practicality. On the bright side, the 2023 NASCAR All-Star race is still a long way away. So this gives the sport plenty of time to improve the cars and the quality of racing on short tracks.
