I'm not sure the track could support an Xfinity race today. It's also dirt now. But there's no reason SoBo or Nashville Fairgrounds couldn't return to the schedule.
Thank you so much for posting this! Cool to see how they ran the Cup and Busch races on the same day, and so near each other. I remember this day vividly. I was 8 years old and visiting family in Faith, NC. We watched President Bush start the race at Daytona in the morning and saw the King lead the beginning laps. Afterwards, Bush flew on Air Force One up to North Carolina and visited the massive 4th of July parade the town of Faith always holds. The Marine One copter carrying him from Charlotte's airport flew right over my relative's house!

I was 1 year old when they race been there many times still today now that is a dirt track
I really really wish Xfinity still went to these tiny little racetracks

@@matthewfawbush7731 i know all that...
my point was how fast those yellows were delt with. modern nascar can learn from this.
Yes, proof it used to be asphalt.
Oh god, I feel bad for these drivers who had to bake under the 100 degree heat just to compete in a sport
13:50 race start
Xfinity and trucks needs more races away from cup
