The Truck Series has Never Had a Regularly Scheduled Southern 500 Weekend Race

 I would emphasize why is it the Truck Series has never had a Regularly Scheduled Southern 500 Weekend Race and the asterisk is Last Year, for having the fan outcry for not having a Truck Series Run before that.

Having been following the Truck Series from the Start and its Birthday is T-Minus a Couple Weeks Away, I feel that having the Truck Series at Darlington be Southern 500 Weekend is just.

I don't know how much fun it would be if they had both the Throwback Race and the All Star Race back to back, and I feel NASCAR would have to intervene about the stipulations for the All Star Race.

It certainly would be making more sense than Mosport Park and the years of plot holes that would need to be resolved would be better.

Glossing Over Why there is Not a Southern 125 Yet?

I feel like one of the big nevers that come out of the Truck Series is they have never formally raced Darlington Raceway on Southern 500 Weekend. What I am seeing that should be fixed is having to nix the Mosport Park Angle and consider seriously, the Southern 125.

I feel like the tagline of the Craftsman Era of the Series is Tough Trucks and Tough Racing. Right now, nobody's happy, we are on our 3rd Straight Series Name and Logo when we had 2 Solid Before that, and that confuses fans.

The hands-off approach some of these programs take is worrisome. We have had the Worst First Time Series Champion in 2018, the Worst Season in 2019 and the Most Confusing Season in 2020. We should be pushing Todd Gilliand over to XFinity and pushing Hailie Deegan into Trucks.

Just going hard for prospects alone is not going to fix the series. I feel like we should see into the Educational Mission of the Series, like some of these characters are only interested in laps more than learning.

Eldora would be one of the most promoted races in Motorsports, not just Stock Car Racing, and having to claw that back does no favors. I find that just finding the people that are there are not going to help with promotion, as promotion is getting lost in the mail this year.

In "Not Enough of A Good Thing" Season, I would feel that the Truck Series would be parcel to a scene of a Gateway Raceday in IndyCars. It should be time for Refreshments rather than just Food and the epilepsy and the narcolepsy here is we are not getting a lot out of FS1 like some of these people make better posts than serious racers.

I say Atlanta, you say Darlington: The Potential Restart Date for the Cup Series

Since the series sojourn took a more lengthier turn, I have said Atlanta is where we should restart the Cup Series. But, Darlington has taken the lead and that could mean Sonoma would either be Labor Day Weekend or be before Las Vegas. I feel the only real lead for Homestead would be being the encore because I would not want to upset Pomona either.

I have been pushing Atlanta on this blog and other sites, because we'd have to do it right and pick up the pieces. I would not pick up the pieces with Fort Worth, because Charlotte and Fort Worth are NOT Close and Fort Worth citizens would be the Happy Valley of Texas in having to enforce Common Sense and Law and Order.

For reasons, I don't think giving too much on a 40 Year Wound that has not healed and is darkened would be good public relations. To me, wheeling the TV at work or school would be healthier if it was North Carolina getting upset or someone big who'd you'd try to keep running and it was all over by the time we had our beers at the bad bar.

I will not order my Driver of the Year Board Today and that is also for reasons. I don't want to so much as having to set the table at 2:00 AM Central Daylight (12 AM Pacific Daylight) to handle the ability for it to stand alone.

Why not a Darlington or Atlanta Revival 500 Cup or Indy Car Race?

I feel like as a Racing Fan, realizing we can't get Milwaukee Mile back without a sizable pay check in materials, I'd feel like wanting to see if Darlington or Atlanta would get a Revival 500 Cup or Indy Car Race? It would be harder to sell a 2nd Cup Date because NASCAR wants to explore Nashville, Newton, St. Louis and Road America for the Cup Division.

But, I'd have a 2nd Offer, with the Indy Car Scene. I would see why not Darlington have a Revival 500 and Atlanta have a Championship 500 in the future. My biggest stipulation would be having to see Atlanta Motor Speedway be repaved for Indy Car and I would like to see Atlanta keep staying a Spring Race in Cup and a Championship Race in the Fall.

This is not just because I am an Atlanta Motor Speedway Fan. I feel like I'd want to make Atlanta Motor Speedway for the first time and I'd like to see a Championship Scene for Atlanta. And, our annual Superspeedways, Atlanta and Darlington are not well known for being bellcows for money making.

I'd more than happily replace St. Petersburg, if it came to that and the ancestral NASCAR Superspeedway and Open Wheel Racing do not have a Good History. I would like to see a legitimate Interest Inventory 500 because the only way Indy Car would get priority on True Expansion is when someone builds all new.

I'd like to see the Indy Car Championship in Atlanta, and while we on "ALL OPTIONS ON THE TABLE!", like Indy Car will race Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, I'd want to see Indy Car make more of an inroads to Atlanta in the future.

Bojangles was around as Long as Mountain Dew for the Southern 500

I feel like the one throwback Darlington still does too well is not keep good sponsors. Bojangles having been around for the Mother's Day, Spring and the Throwback Era Southern 500 is as telling as Mountain Dew being around as long for the Southern 500. Bojangles had a lot with saving the track from certain deletion.

Other than Pepsico being Sponsor for 12 Years, what is heavy is Darlington has never put the Truck Series on Labor Day Weekend. I'd actually root having IndyCar at Darlington because it would give them a chance at a Season Slate rather than spending gobs of time preparing until there is nothing left.

Independent ARCA has run its Course, and I'd feel that finding a Serious Sponsor in a Serious Market is difficult. Even though I'd admit it would be tough for Ken Squier to talk about Friends and Seinfield, but, we would have had a Stuffy Southern 500 Booth otherwise and I doubt ABC/ESPN would have incentive to redouble Motorsports Coverage other than as a wedge.

Even if we went Busta Rhymes on Nas's "Fried Chicken" on his N Album, we couldn't have saved the Sponsorship or kept the race from being the Carolina 500 as a bid to deter the Silly Silo of the Roval. Other than getting silly on the Monster Energy Cup Years, I'd sense that having now 1..2..3..4..5..6 Rookie of the Year Candidates and hopefully the 1st 5 or More Rookie of the Year Candidates Finishing Since 2006 would matter.

Will the Lady be a Diamond in Black? I would not want to see a Rival Company fill the gates that Bojangles saved because that would be sacrilegious and I wouldn't want a Rival Company fill Food City's Billing at Bristol.

Swapping Indianapolis and Daytona will cause more problems than it solves

I feel other than Atlanta, there is not another 4th of July Midwestern Styled Festivities other than Daytona in the Southeast. But, it is neither about that. But, I feel having the Split 1s Back to Back (Daytona and Darlington) is dangerous in the event of Atlantic Hurricane.

Indianapolis does not play well red hot. And, that is a fact. And, I don't think the Series wanted to do anything other than have to be the fact they are tired of being unhappy. And, that unhappiness begins and ends with the Bluebirds of Monster Energy.

Miami always has been, always will be split season. And, I feel the word on the Street that would take the current further is engines and chassises. I will not speak on any 2020 Schedule until Father's Day Week. We do not have any new Superspeedways platted, and that is current right now.

What'd be needed worse is the Oft- Brought Up Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota State Fair Grounds to hold vehicle registries as ours. Auto Racing is not the sport that you'd just turn famous, because it is a fact of life.
