Other than Mansfield being back in Dirt again, and with the pavement years being anything but a joy, including 2 Seperate but Unrelated but Unsuccessful periods where Victor Cagnazzi tried running the track and not well.
My best Mansfield Pavement Memory out of them all was Donny Lia's Lone Truck Series Victory back in 2008. I fully expected him to defend that 1st Truck Series Victory the next year, until 2 Things happened with the recession.
1 was TRG and Kevin Buckler had a sponsor ripped from their hands and Mansfield Motorsports Park not returning to the Truck Series back to back days in Early January 2009 as the race went to Newton and Iowa Speedway. I think Mansfield tried to be a Boomtown in Oval Racing as much as Road Racing, and it backfired into a Busttown.
2, with certain series/venues falling off, I wish there was more acceptance with adding to the weekend. Other than rushing grab bids and not just being another 40 or 50 Points for nothing, and trying to be accepent vs. just fall into instability.
Standards do not change and unless if we had a plan to build new or cash out, we need not to just fall into self-importance. Other than having squads like Friday Night never left, I think most people tend to like not to be inundated with bad news or carelessness and I think it helps to have support matter and not just be a check.
