Remember, Bernie thinks America should have multiple Grand Prixs. Right now we have one in the middle of the country (Texas) one set for the east side (NY / NJ). Sears Poi....errr...Infineon...err...Sonoma is a viable west coast candidate. |

Does this normally happen there in the winter or have track officials done this? |

It's an ISC track, of course NASCAR was a huge part in that decision. That's like saying the FIA don't pave F1 tracks. Strictly speaking it's true, but we all know who is at play there |

Having to throw a yellow every 5 laps for someone in the kitty litter because NASCAR doesn't know how to effectively run a road course race is exactly why all those run off areas were paved. Don't you remember the race a few years back where Kyle Busch got a top 10 after being 5 laps down? |

Also all that grass that disappeared from the infield of Daytona, Talladega,....hell most oval infields really, too long to list. |

I read that Kyle Busch announced that Parker Kligermann will be competing for a championship in the Nationwide Series for Kyle Busch Motorsports in 2013. He will be driving car #77. |

Don't you remember the race a few years back where Kyle Busch got a top 10 after being 5 laps down? The tarmac going into turn one was put into place in 2005 for IndyCar. They added tarmac going into turn six and coming out of turn ten in 2010. |

I'm not a fan of vast asphalt runoff but I sure was glad it was there outside the penultimate corner at the Glen this year, otherwise Ambrose would have beached after the bump from Kes and not been able to stage that awesome comeback at the final corner to win. |
