Anyone a fan of Nascar? Not the best course but still a fun race to watch. CT well represented with Ryan Preece from Berlin and Joey Logano from Middletown.

I'm a big NASCAR fan but there aren't too many on the Boneyard.Anyone a fan of Nascar? Not the best course but still a fun race to watch. CT well represented with Ryan Preece from Berlin and Joey Logano from Middletown.
I used to race there. Preece and Logano were there when I was, but I never raced with them to my recollection.THEY JUST SHOUTED OUT THE SILVER CITY RACE TRACK!!!! Meriden CT baby
My brothers and I raced there a zillion years ago.THEY JUST SHOUTED OUT THE SILVER CITY RACE TRACK!!!! Meriden CT baby
Was Ronnie the Limo Driver there?I'm a big NASCAR fan but there aren't too many on the Boneyard.
Kind of a silly race in my opinion. Not sure why owners want to bother damaging equipment to run this track, but whatever. It's racing and signals the start of the season.
Grew up going to all of the New England tracks with my Dad. My brother was on the pit crew for a regional NASCAR team (Busch North) that was a feeder series into national NASCAR.
Got to see Martin Truex Jr work his way up through the ranks (was clear from the get-go he had talent...funny how some drivers just have "it", no matter how good/mediocre the equipment they are racing in). Also saw Paul Wolfe race, who was a real talented driver, but didn't stick in the national series. However, he's had HUGE success as a Crew Chief (currently for Penske racing/Joey Logano)
The Clash at the Colosseum was pretty fun...liked how they do a throwback to some of the classics...Heat races to get in, last-chance qualifiers...
The race reminded me of all the old-school bullring racing on 1/4- and 1/3-mile tracks in NE - Riverside, Waterford, Plainville, Thunder Road, Beech Ridge, Seekonk, Star, etc. Good times.
My dad used to have a cartoon hanging on his office wall at our racetrack that stated,” How long would you watch cars go round and round in circles?” “ About 10 minutes.“ “ How long would you watch cars go round and round in circles if you knew there was going to be an accident?” “AS LONG AS IT TAKES!”If you're a fan of the left hand turn, can't beat NASCAR.
