Tony Bruce Jr won the WoO first ever visit to 34 Raceway in Burlington IA in 2008.

Yes, I-80, formerly Nebraska Raceway Park, was a regular stop for the WoO for years. Oddity I think because it and Eagle Raceway are or were probably the closest two race tracks that both had WoO shows every year, no more than 12 miles apart. I think Eagle had two shows a year and one was a 2-day event, one time a 3-day event I think. Never forget the place, that's where we lost the great Kevin Gobrecht in a turn one pileup. Also, its the track as you walked in, you could get closer to racing action than any other track, maybe. You walk into that place and cars are flying into turn one, just a few yards from where you were walking. BUT, it was a casualty of late modelitis, the people from Omaha liked late model/stock car racing. Another oddity, only track I ever saw that had two bands playing prior to the racing starting: one a rock band on one side and the other a country rock band. Miss that place.

Nobody has raced on the Stockton dirttrack. It is a new track that will open for the first time, when the WoO come to town.

been to tucson before 2007-2008 timeframe-ish, McCarl had fast time (after they got rid of the snake in his pit) one of the nights they were there. Schatz, Saldana, Lasoski, T Kaeding, Sammy, have all run 360s there as well within the past 2-3 years.

A close 2nd would have to be Tulare and Hanford in CA. Both have WoO shows this year. 22 miles apart
