Our Limited Sportsmen cars From BGS in the 90s were faster than Cup cars at North Wilkesboro.
We shared the track up there testing with 3-4 other cars and 1 Cup car ...... Dale Sr.
Kept pissing him off because we would run him down. Kirk finally asked us for alone track time to shut Sr. up.
That was running an inline 6cyl. 250 cu engine!
But then again .... At Caraway we were faster than Late Models.
Mostly a difference in the rules though.
But looking at the empty seats in the pics shows how NASCARs "broader appeal" just brought on the suck.
