just the way the schedule is set up. Some dates on the schedule are the same weekend every year and the way the calender is set up that is how it is.
They have next week off then 2 weeks then a week off again (Easter).
just looking at previous years...last year ran the same way...break before Bristol.
08 was Bristol, break, Martinsville
07 was 2 then a break
06 was 2 then a break
so there really si no rhyme or reason
Just seems kinda dumb when your just getting the season starter, 3 weeks in and you take a break.....
The always stop for Easter and ways and Mother's day as well.
