Please let me know if I show either your Pole or Race picks incorrectly or if you have any questions.
Pole picks will only be shown on the point standings immediately after each of the 8 races that will have qualifying in the 2021 season.

Please post your picks for the next race and let me know if you want to "lock" them in for future weeks. I will put an "L" before either your Pole pick or your race picks to show they've been "locked".
As always, you can always make different picks each week. Your "locked" picks will always be there should you forget to post your race picks, your computer malfunctions or the site should go down temporarily.

The Food City Dirt Race at Bristol Motor Speedway is happening on Sunday, March 28th with the green flag droping at approximately 3:45 PM EDT (12:45 PM PDT). In true 'dirt race' fashion, there will be four Qualifying Heat races on Saturday, March 27th, to determine starting positions. So post your Pole Pick before the first qualifying heat race scheduled to start at 6:00 PM EDT (3:00 PM PDT).

 
Elliott for pole..:thumbsup: :thankyou:

Just curious, Will they be driving cars that look like real race cars or those ugly Late Model Dirt Cars. Not looking for debate just want to know.

When they raced the trucks at Eldora, they used the same chassis and body. I doubt that they'd switch to a dirt late model chassis just for one race
 
I admit I don't follow a lot od dirt racing so I went over to the NASCAR site to read how the positions will be selected, having read the explanation, I understand even less!
Can someone clue me in?
 
They are treating Bristol like they would the Daytona 500. They divide the field into smaller groups, and have them race for the starting position in the main race. Usually 2 or 3 smaller groups. The smaller races are called heat races, and the main race is called the feature.
 
So that would be four pole winners, one for each heat, so how do You select a pole leader for this competition.
 
Pole will probably be won by first heat. Outside pole determined by 2nd heat. 3rd and 4th heat will determine starting positions mid pack on back.

I'm sure points will determine which heat you will race in.
 
Okay, I can understand that, when will We know who's in what heat? by points standing?

Straight from nascar.com here's how the qualifying heat races for the Bristol Dirt Race will run:

* The starting grids for each heat will be determined by random draw, conducted in order of current team owner points standings.
* Drivers that win their heats earn 10 points, second place earns nine, third place earns eight, and so forth. Drivers earn one additional point for each position gained in their heat, but do not lose points for losing position in their heats. Ties in these combined points totals will be broken by current team owner points.

Qualifying Heat Races will be on FS1 television starting at 6:00pm EDT (3:00pm PDT), Saturday, March 27.
Tune in and get dirty!
Warning: you might need to dust your television after.
