That’s crazy. Wonder what happens if it rains that weekend?
Like that Bristol and Martinsville are now in the playoffs. Needed some short tracks in there. Now just need a road course

Not a fan of the Pocono doubleheader & the switching of Daytona & Indy, but other than that, the schedule is solid.

Thought this meant they were going to take a right.

They finally put the best race and track in the playoffs......DARLINGTON!

I love these changes!

Homestead in March is going to be STRANGE. I wonder how it will draw at the gate now that itll just be another race?
I'm also thinking of getting either Bristol night tickets or Martinsville night tickets.

This is a step in the right direction. 2021 will be a revamping of schedule. There needs to be more road courses and short tracks. Superspeedways will still make up only 11% of the schedule. I'd like road courses to be around 18%. True short tracks (less than 1 mile) shouldn't make up less than 33% of the schedule. And NASCAR does not need to go to another 1.5 mile track.

Not a huge fan of moving the summer Daytona race. It is interesting that Indy's two big races now fall on holiday weekends.
I would think Daytona would be worried that moving closer to the peak of hurricane season would open them up to a better chance of weather delays.
Not sure if moving Atlanta out a few weeks will help much with weather or attendance. I'll be curious to see how the two day show at Pocono plays.
I love having lights at Martinsville, and Darlington in the playoffs.
I will be curious to see what, if any, impact there will be from putting the Bristol night race during college football season.

Shocking.
Seems like the only way they can stir interest is to keep changing things.

Agreed. They need more than merely schedule changes to galvanize their fan base.

Do not like.

Do not like, Indianapolis is one of the worst races on the schedule. NASCAR will most likely not be a part of my July 4th weekend now, even though it has always been (especially back in the day).

Cool with this.

I think this was to accommodate the Olympics and open up another open date. I also wouldn’t be surprised if this is in preparation for Pocono losing a race in 2021.

Umm, I hate to be the one to tell you you're wrong since I don't know you, but... next year will be the third straight year that they race at the Charlotte road course configuration in the playoffs.

Michigan and Chicagoland are the worst tracks. I can’t stand them.

Yep, Indy is up there too for me.
