it is a dirt alternative and it does compare. at Del Mar right now it is a bit slower compared to dirt.

i'm sure that the lap times in Nascar are important when comparing against others in the same field on the same track on the same day even. do they compare lap times on one track in one part of the country to those in another? i'll bet they don't because the courses have to be slightly different and what really matters is what is happening within the race relative to the other cars and not to times on other courses.
