Schedule Changes

[NickVT10]

NASCAR chairman Brian France says 2015 schedule changes will be discussed - ESPN

Changes will be needed soon. Dover needs to lose a race. For some reason NASCAR does not want the Cup series in Iowa.

 

[Nascar Addict]

I love Dover.

The tracks that I hate, are the cookie cutters. Kansas. California. New Hampshire. Homestead.

What NASCAR needs is more short tracks or more road courses.

I don't mind Phoenix that much but a track I think needs to lose a race that hasn't been listed yet is Michigan. Those are usually some of the most boring races in my opinion. If any track gets a second date, I'd like to see Darlington get a 2nd race again.

Both of these.


You UVA guys get it. I think I may pull for ya'll as my second favorite team this year.

I like the idea of Road America or VIR getting races. You could add Mid Ohio to that list. It would be interesting to see whether they would add two (or three) road races in a single year.

It has been the Hokies in the past, but I feel a slight change in the wind.

I'm in the opinion that there definitely needs to be a road course in the chase. So three road courses wouldn't bother me one bit. I believe to be the champion, you should be able to succeed on all of the different types of tracks.

VIR is a sweet facility but that'd be kind of dumb for them to go there. It's in the middle of nowhere and it would really undercut the fans that go to Martinsville. If you're adding a road course (which I doubt they will), Road America or Mid-Ohio are the better options. At least you'd get a different market. I thought they did well with the NW cars at Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal but NASCAR doesn't want to go up there.

I agree completely.

Kentucky needs to go

 

[Retroram52]

I agree BKSBaller. Apparently the Waltrip clan has way more pull with NASCAR than anyone imagined. That Kentucky race was a complete joke.

I can get up at 8, get ready and be at Michigan by 10 on race day. We went twice (the second time was only because of free tickets) and my wife told me she doesn't want to go back to that track. Michigan and California are great tracks for the drivers, because they have plenty of room to make passes. But they are boring races for the fans.

IMO take a couple of the mile and a half tracks away, take one of the Michigan races away. Add races at Mid-Ohio, Darlington, and another short track.

Additions: Road America or Mid-Ohio, not both; a second Darlington.
Subtractions: Kansas, One Michigan race, Kentucky.
