23X1 Racing’s Bubba Wallace’s spotter Freddie Kraft seems to be extremely unhappy with NASCAR racing on dirt tracks and following the race at Bristol Motor Speedway, many seem to be stale with the fast-paced cars racing on dirt tracks and Freddie Kraft happened to be one of them.

Bubba Wallace has had a pretty tough season so far with only a P2 as his best pole at Daytona 500 and placed 28th during last week’s Food City Dirt Race on the Bristol Motor Speedway. Wallace will be racing on the Talladega Superspeedway where he emerged victorious with his first Cup Series win.

“The fact of the matter is, these cars, they don’t belong on dirt,” said Bubba Wallace’s spotter Freddie Kraft

Freddie Kraft seemed frustrated about the fact that these cars aren’t meant for dirt racing as they weigh much heavier than dirt racing cars and also said that the longest dirt race in the world is about 100 laps and NASCAR races 150 laps more than the World 100.

 “The fact of the matter is, these cars, they don’t belong on dirt. These things are 1000 pounds heavier than any other dirt car in the world. The longest dirt race I can think of is the World 100. We’re talking 100s of laps,” said Freddie Kraft.

He also added saying that any other dirt race like Outlaws, USAC Midgets, all these races are only raced for 35 laps or 50 laps utmost. He seemed unhappy with the fact that they’re doing 250 laps with cars that aren’t meant to race on dirt tracks.

“If you go to any dirt race, whether it’s in Outlaws, USAC Midgets, the majority of the dirt races are somewhere between 35 and 50 laps. We’re out here running 250 laps with a car that’s not made to run on dirt,” concluded Freddie Kraft.

But NASCAR says otherwise as they were able to make huge profits out of it despite racers and other NASCAR team members like Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Rodney Childers being extremely discontent with racing on Bristol Dirt.

With several racers and team members unhappy with NASCAR dirt racing, will NASCAR go in favor of them or stick with their profits?
