I hate top lane-dominant tracks like Irwindale and post-2006 Bristol. You're nearly half a second faster up top and you can't even bump anyone out of the way if you're faster since you'll both end up scraping the wall. I like short tracks where the low line is dominant. |

This schedule is stupid * - 1 off week from Daytona 1 to Phoenix 2 * - night race on Easter Sunday (which mind you, the bulk of NASCAR industry folk is extremely religious) * - every race but 2 on a Sunday afternoon, including day races in the summer time where it will be the conditions of ultra swamp ass for those at the track Fucking yikes oh they racing at Vegas on the anniversary of Dan Wheldon's death too? |

season opener at LA Coliseum is officially official. The race will be the debut for the NextGen car & live pit stops are not planned. - this is gonna be a logistical nightmare, but I do applaud them for trying something different - as much as I hate their current ideas and formats. |

So given that I've never heard of it before, I'm guessing the LA Colluseum is a baseball stadium or some other multi-use facility they're gonna put tarmac down for one night only for a race?? So it's gonna be old bristol levels of wrecking considering they won't be able to make any kind of track bigger than a quarter mile and it's doubful they can get any banking in there right? Not sure if I've not been paying attention but this has come massively out of left field (lol) Is this a direction NASCAR said they were heading in? To hell with making their own venues, they'll just take them off existing sports for a weekend? |

With some exceptions, NASCAR feels the big money is in gimmick tracks as opposed to proper facilities that fans have begged for decades to get. It'd be like F1 dumping Silverstone and having a race inside Old Trafford. ---------------------------------------- iRacing already has a mockup of the track: |

Saying that, we've just got back a shared use venue that's half stock car track, half rugby track in Bradford in the UK, so maybe it's not a completely wildcard idea |

Watch the ASA race from inside the Pontiac Silverdome and you’ll see how dumb this could be. This is going to look like one of those carnival rides where all the cars are on a stick and they rotate around a center post and you can beep the horn. |

Also, there's absolutely no chance this race will be decided fairly if the leader doesn't have at least a one second lead at the end. Whoever's running second is just gonna dropkick the leader, the fans will wet themselves with joy, and whatever dickheads in the booth are all gonna praise it as good racing because "dO wHaTcHa goTTa dO!" |
