Bring some back.. but like.. Chicagoland, Rockingham, and North Wilkesboro

facts

Texas is the only track I don’t have to get on a plane and fly to. I’ve been there 20 of the last 22 seasons. They ruined it when they reconfigured it in 2017. So selfishly it can stay for the proximity for me. I didn’t go to either race last year. I may go to the fall race…

Keep Chicagoland off the schedule, bring back rockingham. Chicagoland proved that market wasn’t right for nascar, yet they’re going back to Chicago. For a street course, really?

Me? More.

@Micah Kinton I want both Rockinghams in NASCAR. US and UK.

Even if the short track races still end up becoming a snooze fest, we can all agree that the racing will be better. We’ll just have to find out how Martinsville, Richmond, and most of all the North Wilkesboro All Star Race performs.

The biggest issue is that no track other than Daytona and Talladega needs 2 dates. Bristol, Martinsville and Richmond don’t fill the stands like they used to, no reason for 2 dates. You can easily give Chicagoland (the street race will be terrible), Kentucky, and Rockingham. Take a date away from Vegas Atlanta and Kansas and give to Iowa, Milwaukee, and wilkesboro.

I think they’re at a decent spot right now but definitely could use some tweaking.

For cookie cutters, I’d like to see fall Vegas dropped for Chicagoland. Would also like to see a second Michigan race (even if it’s a double header weekend) Drop Nashville and maybe bring back Kentucky. Would love to see the Rock again too.

Make Texas a super speedway and host one each at Texas and Atlanta.

Drop the Chicago street race, Indy Roval (for brickyard), add Daytona Roval. At least as a place holder for auto club.

Go back to 2 concrete Bristol races and make spring Richmond a dirt race. 1 race each at AC short track eventually, Nashville Fairgrounds, Wilkesboro, and Martinsville.

I get Phoenix having 2 races while it hosts the championship but if that were to change, I’d like to see their spring race dropped for an added Loudon race. Maybe drop Gateway too.

I realize that these may not all be feasible changes. Just what I’d personally like to see lol.

But by the time Nascar had peaked in popularity, running those tracks had become a sanded down science.

Just gut feeling tells me that their presence at key points in the schedule helped Jimmie become the record tieing champion that he did. With Texas, Atlanta, Kansas and especially Charlotte right down the stretch it’s no wonder he had that extra level of success. And that too really dampened the feeling of competition around these tracks.
