Bristol Motor Speedway Ends Controversial NASCAR Dirt Race After 2023

Bristol will no longer host a NASCAR Cup Series dirt race after 2023 and will return to two races on its concrete surface.
The Bristol dirt race received mixed reactions from fans, some enjoying the novelty while others felt it was a gimmick.
No replacement dirt race is currently planned for the 2024 NASCAR schedule.
Some have praised eliminating the Bristol dirt race, arguing NASCAR's modern cars don't perform well on dirt tracks.
If NASCAR tries more dirt races in the future, purpose-built dirt ovals may provide better conditions than adding dirt to Bristol.
