Favorite Track

What is your favorite Nascar track to see the guys race at?

Also would you take Martinsville off of the Nascar circuit?

Bristol, and it isn't even close. And no on Martinsville. Nascar needs more short track racing, not less.

Pocono, Darlington, and the road courses are always fun to watch. They're extremely unique and hard to drive. I think it would be a disgrace to drop Martinsville.

Maybe one of the dates, but not both. I would also swap one of the Martinsville dates if we could bring back North Wilkesboro.

No, but I would for either Rockingham or North Wilkesboro providing an upgrade in facilities and seating. This would be 1 race dropped.

I can deal with North Wilkesboro for Martinsville any day of the week.

Talladega.

the problem with places like the North Wilkesboros or Rockinghams isn't just a facilities problem. it's everything associated with a hosting a race. a lot of these towns simply can't handle the type event or don't have the infrastructure in place to host the people and traffic; be it hotels, interstates, or track facilities. there's WAY more that has to go into a race than just a state of the art track. these areas simply didn't have the cash needed to to grow with the sport. it's sad yes, but it's also simple economics. it is what it is.

funny how the people who wanted the sport to grow now wish they could have the old days back.
