I say get rid of half the ovals and replace them with road courses!!!

Talladega? Boring, unless they remove the restrictor plates. Replace it with Road Atlanta.
Phoenix? Boring, replace it with Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.
Las Vegas? Boring, replace it with Laguna Seca.
Martinsville? Boring, replace it with Virginia International Raceway.
Chicagoland? Boring, replace it with Road America (Wisconsin).
Michigan? Boring, replace it with the Belle Isle Street Circuit.

That’d be more interesting!

Jr. is only a part in a whole family operation but will likely have the most input on the track layout and grounds to be built. I hope he does get some dates from NASCAR but the likely-hood of that is slim at best for a while.
A 1st class racing complex in that part of the state will be great for all kinds of motor-sports.

No, FISHY-69er !! I doubt he would sue to get the dates but he might sue you if you keep defaming his good name… Just kidding unlike you I’m sure he has more class than than to wast his time with petty BS.

WOW you got to be joking.. You see the Watkins Glen race this year? One of the best races I’ve seen all year. The tracks we need less of is the 1.5 mile tracks.. TOO MANY OF THEM. I love the beating and banging in road courses. Track’s like California and Texas I think are boring.

A road course does NOT need to be added to the Chase. They are way too boring and need to be taken out of the circuit completely. Even some of the oval and more exciting races were boring this year because of the COT. I was very disappointed in the entertainment aspect of the performance of the COT, much like I am continuously disappointed in the road courses.

Yes WE NEED A ROADCOURSE IN THE CHASE.. That’s the only thing the chase is missing.

I’d like to see the first date go to the oval track, and the second date go to the roadcourse. If we are going to have a chase it needs a roadcourse race in it.

This would be great if it takes the Talladega race dates. Plates = low-horsepower entertainment via tight packs and no driver input for the benefit of drunks in the stands who hope that their driver wins the crapshoot.

this is going to be huge for the sport, for a driver to be very involved in the process of a race track
