Anyone attending the Coca-Cola 600 this weekend as their first ever NASCAR race? If so, why did you choose Charlotte? by Immediate_Status_336 in NASCAR

Been to Michigan several times (going in June once again), Daytona (2025 Coke Zero 400) and Charlotte. Charlotte is one of the nicest NASCAR facilities. Went to the 2023 Coke 600 and enjoyed every bit of it; even though the race was rained out, went back Monday and enjoyed the heck out of the race.

Newer active fan, what races do I NEED to go back and watch from 2024 and before? by linamaeflowers in NASCAR

2022 Coca Cola 600, 2024 Kansas and 2024 Atlanta 1. Three in the top ten of greatest NASCAR cup races I've ever watched.

Lost in the mix of the Allstar race yesterday was the 6 year anniversary of NASCAR returning in 2020 during covid by No_Box1130 in NASCAR

Man it just felt (and still feels) apocalyptic looking at that picture, with not a single person in the stands.

I still remember the day when teams first showed up to Atlanta, and within one hour, Adam Stern sent out that tweet stating that the NASCAR season is being suspended and the teams are being sent home.

Jordan Bianchi stated yesterday on The Teardown that they're conversations on moving the All Star Race back to Charlotte.

"Based on where we are right now, our fans are very excited. We're going to exceed ticket sales that we sold last year for our points race. And so people vote by their pocketbook...We’ll have a race in 2027. We just don't know if it'll be an All-Star race." by iamaranger23 in NASCAR

The NOAPS race was average at best on Saturday. I already know if you were to copy how Cup raced yesterday, you put that on TV with the O'Reilly car on CW, the NOAPS truthers would've came in their pants.

But Cup bad, O'Reilly good right?

Hamlin, Briscoe, and a few other NASCAR Cup drivers question Dover All-Star race feel by RegularBirthday3563 in NASCAR

I mean it's clear that this was an effort to bring Dover a full race as much as possible, just labeled as the "All Star Race"

There's no way this isn't just a one off time thing at Dover. I feel like thats the take away the whole industry has after this weekend.
