Why We Chose It: At $30,000-to-win, by far Thursday’s highest-paying dirt race
After a white-hot start to the 2021 season that saw New Waverly, Texas’s Tyler Erb score two wins at East Bay Raceway Park (as well as get parked for on-track antics with Mason Zeigler), the driver known as Terbo stormed back to relevance on the LOLMDS circuit, backing up a $7,000 preliminary win Wednesday with a flag-to-flag victory in the 53-lap feature Thursday night. The win paid a cool $30,000, by far Erb’s biggest of 2021.

That’s why the attendance has fallen off a cliff for the race. I have no idea why they decided to move the race back up three weeks into March. Last year is an outlier because of COVID-19, but the race was two weeks later in 2019. For 2022, NASCAR needs to move this race weekend back into April. It’s like they forget sometimes that Bristol Motor Speedway is in the mountains. It’s not like Nashville or Charlotte. It can get cold there this time of year, and that’s far more critical with a dirt track than it is a paved track. It’s the same reason why they couldn’t do any o
