re: How to fix Nascar

competition cautions
fricking hate those. Takes all the risk and strategy out of the race because you "know" when a caution will come out.
Nothing like "clean" races where people were having to make green flag pit stops because no one was wrecking or blowing engines.

How to fix Nascar
1. Blow up the schedule. Start it out west in January in and around NFL playoff games. Daytona is 4th or 5th race. Run 5-6 midweek short track races. You can get 35 races by Labor Day and before football starts.
2. More road courses, more short tracks. Only tracks with multiple dates are Daytona, Dega and all short tracks
3. Make Cup cars like the Xfinity cars. Less downforce, more horsepower
4. Playoffs 10 races. 12 drivers. Cuts down to 4 with 3 races left. Driver with most points in those 3 gets title. No one race deal

It's ridiculous that so often it is better to be in a lower position when a late caution comes out in order to be in the preferred starting lane for the last restart. This is either solved by single file restarts or a commitment cone. Traditionally, NASCAR has done the first.

Quit caving to the liberal mindset. Liberals never watch nascar.

Extra points for rough and dangerous driving. Would bring in only drivers who are a little crazy. Would be epic.

Martinsville is like watching a root canal. Wilkesboro would be no different.
NASCAR has apparently made enough changes to the new car to entice Dodge back in 21.

Continue not having practice to reduce costs. They claim to be the best drivers so why do they need practice? Just simulate that.
Caution laps should not count against total laps.
Double file restarts are great.
Change the side number location like the all star race to give more area to sell sponsorship.
If you total your car before the halfway point pull out the back up and continue on.
Let the engineers do whatever the hell they want. Unlimited horsepower and downforce.
Car should come from the manufacture with just a roll cage added. Strip out the interior and drivetrain.

Go through cool cities like F1.
Better yet race ol bootlegger routes in the backwoods can't be worse than ovals...and let teams go as fast as they want.

Just everyone go buy a lawn chair, an ice chest of your favorite beers or sodas for the children. Then post up on the intersecting grass divide between the interstates you live by. You can then watch cars drive by all day for free. There Drac, nascar would be fixed.

Create 4 “majors” where the point values are doubled, I’d suggest those 4 being Daytona, one of the Bristol races, Watkins Glenn, and Brickyard
Should at least also include Coke 600 and/or Talladega in the conversation of having "majors."
Make it 5 Majors.
Go back to the sport's roots and use the four Winston Million races (Daytona 500/spring Talladega/Coke 600 at Charlotte/Southern 500 at Darlington) and then add in the Brickyard.

What is top in the context of NASCAR? Are there a lot of women in NASCAR anyway? Why would you want less women?

Make it a figure 8 that would be pretty damn entertaining.

Get rid of the playoffs. As far as I know no other major racing series does anything this stupid.
It was way better before it relied on consistency to win the title.
I agree with 1, 3, 5.

I really wish people would quit with this track - it's not happening. It' s another track smack in the middle of the east coast which is already oversaturated with races, it's in the middle of nowhere, has no hotels or restaurants around it. The seating capacity alone would make it unaffordable to modern racing - they'd have to price those tickets over $200 to raise enough purse to break even.
Bruton Smith screwed up by closing that track and not building its design in a different place instead of the cookie cutters like Kentucky.

Correct.
Some people just masturbate over an idolized version of nostalgia.
That place was a dump.

Women's race league would be pretty cool. Stewart should add this to his new Saturday night race league he is starting.

You have 12 “intermediate” tracks compared to 2 road courses and 3 short tracks.
Add more road courses (which I think they’ve began to do) and short tracks.
Atlanta, Charlotte, and Texas are alike, but I would classify those as considerably more exciting than tracks like Fontana, Chicagoland, Kansas, Kentucky, Las Vegas, and Michigan. Do we really need Chicagoland, Kansas, and Kentucky?
Also, add more “unique” tracks like Pocono, Darlington, Indy, etc.
I’ll also say I like Dover, but didn’t they lose a race to go to another cookie cutter?
