Lowe's is part of SMI and Smith owns that. He is going to move the Texas Nov race from the 8th race in the chase to the 1st race in the chase and NHIS to the 8th instead of the 1st in 2009, because he loses so much money at the Texas race in Nov (opening weekend for deer season). I have not heard if he is going to take away a date and give it to another track yet, but I did hear about this.[/quote] That is IF NASCAR decides they would rather have Texas as the first race in the chase. mrnascar68 wrote:

Im sick of the same old 1.5 mile tracks. NASCAR should add some variety to their schedule and make there be an equal amount of each type of track. In the summer, there is a string of all 1.5 mile tracks and i almost turn the tv off. Its boring seeing the same race each week! I agree. Im sick of the same old 1.5 mile tracks.

Most of his tracks allready have something like that, and since there is no easy way to build a legends track... he wont really be able to easly run them so look for all the "support" series races to stay there.

Most of the time they put on a better show that the cup, busch, and truck. I hope Smith can see how they help the rising stars bet publicity such as Joey Logano, Martin Truex, Donny Lia, Woody Pitkat, and all of the other stars that those series have and will produce!

Bruton Smith didnt grind up Lowes because he doesnt own it. Next NHIS races are 2 of the most boring races of the season and definately doesnt deserve a chase race at all.Atlanta needs to renovate the facility and move a date from October to August or March to May. Vegas should get the 2nd Cup date, but anyone been to Vegas in September, its a Desert. Ok you guys got a few wrong owners. Bruton Smith didnt grind up Lowes because he doesnt own it.

He could say I only want one race at NHIS, but NASCAR could say.. screw you were racing their 52 times in 26 weeks.

He'll go crazy and grind it up like he did at Charlotte and Texas. Then we'll see record amounts of yellows. Goodyear will be clueless again and tires and driver safety will become a hot topic again.

I've been the last 3 years, and it's been 105+ every time. It doesn't cool down much when the sun goes down either. The race is boring though too. Yeah California needs to lose the Labor Day race.

It's always extremely cold or raining, and every once in a while, boiling. But I guess they don't have much control of when they run each race.

Then keep both dates up here at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and remove one Cup race date from California that even with great weather, can't sellout worth period. I would hate to see Nhew Hampshire loss a date because they sellout and that's my home track and I would hate to see Atlanta loss a Cup race date because the racing is great, it has that wow factor. One more thing, Hopefully Smith-SMI creates a better racetrack up at New Hampshire, try a similer Phoenix, more banking or a 3/4 mile.

Life is all about choices, so if this happens my choice as a purchaser of reserved camping and seats in the new Winners chairback section for both NASCAR weekend events will be if they take one event I will give up the other and pick up an extra Dega event or maybe do the July Daytona race, so by all means have at it!
