Short Track Racing — Short Of Amazing

Posted by Penni On March - 19 - 2008

Short track racing typically equals disappointment. Disappointment for the drivers, not the fans, and Bristol was no exception.

Once again, like several times this season, the expected winner or dominant driver didn’t cross the finish line first.

For the second time this season with only five races under the belt, Cup qualifying was cancelled due to rain (or weather). Once again, the starting order was set by the owner points.

Nationwide qualifying was also cancelled (for the third time), because the drivers had not practiced on the track. (The rain had cancelled Nationwide practices earlier.)

Saturday called for both series to have one long final practice each with Clint Bowyer’s No. 2 BB&T Chevrolet being the fastest Nationwide car. Kasey Kahne’s No. 9 Budweiser Dodge was the fastest Cup car. Both names would continue to play a part in Saturday’s Nationwide race. Read the rest of this entry »
