I've never understood that line of thinking. Road courses/street races break up the monotony of the ovals and you get to see a different skill set.

I like road courses, I do understand why some people don’t like them for NASCAR.

I am not a fan of street courses, but this race was pretty good

NASCAR fans aren’t asking for a ton of road courses. We just want enough representation to be taken seriously. Less than 20% isn’t that much. They just need to be spread out.

Street courses are the new racing venues. No ovals are going up. Not many permanent road racing circuits are going up either. It’s more cost effective to put up temporary circuits on city streets.

I don’t mind road courses, but I prefer ones that suit stock cars. Fast and flowing. I don’t mind one Chicago/Coranado per year. It has its place, but I wish they’d give an existing road course a chance before they’d go back to the Roval or put a 2nd street course on the schedule.

1 a year is fine for me. But I won’t be mad if there are 2 street courses next year. I’d like to see Portland, road America, Virginia all host races. I’d love to see these cars at road Atlanta, but I doubt Michelin would be ok with that.

I’d like to see Canada or Mexico once a year. Hell I’d like to see both but realistically you could see one. I think 6 is the number.

Back in the day when ovals were going up like convenience stores, were there any planned tracks that ultimately got scrapped before they got going?

There was supposed to be one around Kentwood I think. Think it was supposed to be a 1 mile oval. And LA screwed that up like only she knows how.

There was talk of a 1 mile track being built in Gulfport north of 10 between the 24 and 28 exits.

The Washington D.C. IndyCar race around the National Mall has a heck of a support series race for Saturday of that weekend: An IROC race with Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, Bobby Labonte, Rusty Wallace, Bill Elliott, Tony Kanaan, Helio Castroneves and Dario Franchitti.

What other team jumps to dodge next year with kaulig? I think hyak is the most likely option.

If Dodge is entering with money who knows.

Front Row?
Spire?
Trackhouse?

I think the rest are locked in. This is good for the sport

Spire seems pretty entrenched with Chevy. And I think 2/3 of trackhouse drivers are contracted Chevy drivers. I’d love for Trackhouse to leave Chevy. I’m not sure if Dodge is who they’d leave for.
