I’d love to see a Daytona Double header, 500 Week 1, Followed by Daytona Roadcourse Week 2!
Would bring the Weeks aspect back.

Really Love the Daytona Roadcourse, sat through Rain at one of the Truck Races they had, that was a Fun Event!

I miss how practice would begin 10 days before the 500 for Bud Shootout practice Friday night. And the draw was Thursday night. Just really set the whole tone for how big the event was. I miss it terribly.

In reply to @SuperNASCARrocks. We had Goody's dash series in there too.

I know this wouldn’t really be possible but I’d love to see them run arca and the shootout on saturday and then run Daytona 500 qualifying in the morning/afternoon before the Super Bowl on Super Bowl weekend

I wish they would bring back speedweeks the way it was years ago. Auto racing, especially NASCAR, has been the only sport I’ve ever took a big interest in, and the preseason testing, Rolex 24, the practices and the ARCA season opener just before the Daytona shootout, help to pass the time and build anticipation for the return of NASCAR. There was even one preseason test session that had a big one wreck that took out most of the cars. Only a few cars were left for the next session. That was in the early 2010’s.

You should do a video on the bigger restrictor plates in the xfinity series in the past 3 years. They were barely hitting 185 in the draft in the summer, and were hitting 187 during speed weeks. The year before that they were hitting 189, and the year before that 191ish.

Dirt Car Nationals has races at nearby at Volusia almost every day for the 2 weeks leading up to Daytona Speedweek. Quite a few NASCAR drivers will be racing modifieds, late models, and/or sprint cars at Volusia and you can walk right through the pits anytime to see or meet them up close – NASCAR always has the Daytona 500 pace car at Volusia with some fan engagement activities. I always stay next to Daytona International Raceway; the hotel rates haven’t yet skyrocketed but there is a lot of activity prepping Daytona as the NASCAR hauler parade is the day after Volusia wraps up. So it is still possible to hit a 2 to 3 weeks of racing, it’s just not all at Daytona International Raceway.

How awesome would it be if we got an IROC style race at Daytona under the lights as a ‘replacement’ for the Clash? Like all eligible NASCAR drivers but in IROC style cars. We get The Clash back at Daytona and an IROC race at the same time with no worries about drivers destroying cup cars. They could also add in the Xfinity and truck series champs from the last year if they needed rides to fill.
