As a fan from phoenix raceway who attends both the march and November race each year. It sells out yearly. Packed! And we love the racing there! Hope it and the championship stays for long years to come.

It’s comically in need of an autotune

Just a thought don’t take too seriously. Imagine running most of the same tracks and some new road courses, street course at new locations in between. Then once we hit playoffs. All the playoffs races except for 3 are outside of the USA in another country or all playoff races are in USA expect for 3. Would also love to see nascar run the newest Las Vegas street course.

I find intresting this idea of alternate tracks yearly, could be done in NashVille with the FairGrounds and the SuperSpeedway

Steve has put together a good show here, please keep doing this, it’s very nice to hear from these types of people who are so ingrained in the sport’s culture and future.

A really good watch, feel like it’s lots of hints for the schedule coming out on Wednesday

Fixing the schedule is simple, but will never happen:

Schedule needs to be reduced to 30 races at 30 tracks (eliminate the exhibitions).
Season must end by the end of September to get away from football.
Get rid of the ‘playoffs’. Most points is the champion (the way it’s done in every racing series around the world…)

A Toronto Street Race would be so much more exciting than a return to Circuit Gilles Villenueve, that would be the best long term solution for a Canadian race

Watkins Glen would be a great playoff race.

I don’t care that much about schedule changes, but I love what I heard here. I just want NASCAR to have 3 races in the Round of 4 instead of just 1. All the other rounds have 3 races! Consistency over multiple races should decide winners of every round. Why decide the champ by performance at one track that isn’t very prestigious to fans or drivers? The Round of 4 races should be at either Phoenix, Kansas, Charlotte, Darlington, or Homestead. Bristol, Watkins Glen, or Sonoma can be rotated in for better diversity once the short track and road course packages are fixed. Indy oval can be too if it puts on a great show. Maybe 800 – 900 HP at road courses and short tracks would help make racing exciting there again. All I think I want is a redesigned Round of 4 and a horsepower boost. It still feels odd that Homestead is not the final race.
