BRISTOL, Tenn. – Though several veterans topped the speed charts Thursday when the Super DIRTcar Series big-block modifieds hit the track for practice at Bristol Motor Speedway, youngster Jack Lehner was also quick out of the gate. “I pulled in and I was like ‘Holy cow,’” Lehner said. While Bristol may be one of the fastest tracks in the country when dirt is laid down on the surface, it may not be the fastest facility for the northeast big-block modified field. “It’s way different,” Lehner said regarding the track surface at Bristol. “There’s not a lot of wear, but there is a lot of heat [being generated],” said Lehner. Lehner and the rest of the Super DIRTcar Series field will return to the high banks of Bristol Motor Speedway for the opening night of the Bristol Throwdown.
