What Iowa Needs to Become a Legendary Race Track

About this episode

What’s the true definition of a short track? Is Iowa a short track? Why is everyone rearranging Dale’s furniture!?

Dale’s coming out of the gates hot today with a passionate opinion on what classifies a track as a ‘short track’ compared to an ‘intermediate,’ debating TJ  for a good ten minutes straight.

The three talk about what Iowa should do with the repave, how Ty Gibbs kept Christopher Bell from victory lane, and that the complaints about the racing aren’t a Next Gen problem. The gang also discusses how the Chase standings have shifted after contenders and pretenders continue to be separated, including Ty Gibbs catapulting to second in points after his victory.

Dale gives his perspective on why reducing the number of cars in The Chase field would help the storylines around the fight to get in, and talks about how NASCAR’s rule about changing brake pads is something that needs to be rethought. He also touches on Carson Kvapil’s second straight O’Reilly Series victory, and why they can be contenders for the championship. 

Ty Gibbs also joins to talk about his breakout season, his mom’s impact on his life, and why he believes taking away the digital mirror would take drivers out of the Cup Series.

Dirty Mo Dough and Ask Jr wrap up another exciting episode of Dirty Air.
