They do have those tracks in Nascar Syncro. Cup races on 2 of them and there is small talk of adding a 3rd one, possibly Canada since the Nationwide Series has sold out these 2 years there. Ask the ringers who come in and should do well in Cup how well they really do on these tracks. They used to get top 5's and compete for wins, now they are lucky if one of them gets a top 10. Nationwide Series used to race on 3 road courses, now it's back to 2 since they dropped Mexico City from the schedule due to sagging attendance and teams getting robbed at their hotels.

During Bike Week in Daytona, the bikes use the whole track and that is some really good racing. Much better than the round d round bs with no action. Nascar Races now a days put me to sleep.

What were they thinking when they added this one? :?

The word from Little France was that Nascar wanted to tap into the Hispanic world due to their large numbers here in the US(mostly illegal one's at that.) What they did not foresee was that the fans got bored because the Hispanic drivers were getting stomped at their home track. They also did not realize the logistical nightmare it caused even though the team owners did see this being a problem. The hauler drivers did not want to be running down into Mexico without an escort.

You actually knew what he was saying?

The explosion of NASCAR in the US unfortunately never had anything to do with an increase in racing fans. Folks were lured by the personalities and the bright, colorful cars. The actual sport of racing had nothing to do with any of it.

Now that the novelty has worn off and most of the legendary names mentioned above are no longer with the sport, there really isn't a whole lot to fall back on for the so-called fan. Hence, the whole Vince McMahon charade. Boy did that fall right in to my lap.

Racing fans are still, and will always be racing fans. The johnny-come-latelys have had their moment and will be moving on to the next artificial craze such as Cabbage Patch Dolls, Pet Rocks or Tickle-Me-Elmos. The cycle of silliness continues to churn................

Right Mr. Ford?

I agree with everything said about Davey Allison. That was a dark day.

But, imho, Nascar really changed with the restrictor plates and the expansion tracks.

But, in thruth, Nascar hasn't been the same since the day the music died! R.I.P Dale. We all loved you! Especially your enemies!
