Really, why Nascar doesn't have a massive mobile fleet of these things is beyond me. You would think the Networks would help pay for the expense.

for the amount of money this costs each week having the fleet of mobile track dryers is pennies. and tbhe fact that each track has them sitting around instead of trav eling w the big show drives me n utz

You would think 30 dryers to dry this place in 30 min.

They can ship 9000 tires every week so teams can run 11 laps then come in and get 4 new tires on a caution (completely unnecessary), but we can't more than 2 track dryers.

Ok, so you skip the west coast races where chance of rain is minimal and maybe lower the number for good weather forecasts, or tracks with lights. The logistics wouldn't be that tough. Just make sure you have the most for places like Pocono, Michigan etc. No lights and all within a fairly small area.
