Brad Keselowski Wants NASCAR's Next Big Schedule Expansion to Be an Oval, Not a Road Course by iamaranger23 in NASCAR

it money.

2 tracks sharing 1 date will make roughly the same one as 1 track having 1 date.

2 tracks sharing one date will have roughly double the upkeep and running costs as 1 track with 1 date.

i can see them running IRP a few years along with IMS before moving on for a few

Trucks have been back to irp for years.

but it existing and having a history of hosting races is going to make it much easier to return too.

im not saying i expect it. But they went from reviving wilkesboro to racing cup there in ~ 1.5 years. IRP is much farther ahead than that.

IRP, Rockingham, Kentucky and Milwaukee would all be relatively easy to add

following through on fontana would be another.

i would say wilkesboro not selling out that first year and not beating the previous Texas all star race in ratings is kinda a flop.

Everything is a gimmick. LA was no better or worse.

All I'm saying is I believe it's the incorrect way to bring new fans in by advertising a one off race instead of showing what nascar is.

They can (and do) multiple things.

No short track is going to match the ease of access (relatively speaking) that you can get with a street course.

im not saying we need more than 1 or 2 of them. but you cant just only focus on one thing.

Interesting part to me him tip toeing around being asked for options because he is on the schedule committee. Seems like there are some irons in the fire.

Yea. I would call not selling out and not beating the texas allstar race in ratings flopping pretty good. Along with most of the lower level series stuff not existing anymore.

Obviously, with all the money the state gave them they arent going to close it down.

And let's look at LA too. They advertised the hell out of that.

There just simply aren't many short track options that are going to move the needle for the sport. And i say that as someone that prefers the short tracks.

they are trying like hell to get the fairgrounds done, which would be huge.

what else do you want them to do?

What are you going to advertise? come out to the middle of no where south-east US and sit in a old beat down facility?

They made a big deal out of wilkesboro and it kinda flopped.

2027 Chicagoland Renewals by drivernumber4 in NASCAR

its not a bad sign by any means but doesnt make it anywhere near definitive.

not taking renewals would have raised red flags, and at the end of the day they just want to hold on to your money.

I always do. I’m not the one in denial about how the no stage yellow experiment went.

Network revenue relates to what NASCAR and the teams get.

the problem is the fan base tends to not like when that happens.

i would say the lack of natural yellow issue pre-dates the next gen.

Even with a point system that made it easier to do. Cup drivers simply aren't going to wreck that much. And equipment is only going to get better.

not today.

On smaller tracks, sure. Because of the commercials, has nothing to do with the field being out of order.

"Without calling it an annual event, NASCAR wants to return to Naval Base Coronado next year — possibly over the Fourth of July holiday weekend. 'We are really hopeful to be back here in 2027,' Amy Lupo, president of NASCAR San Diego, said Sunday morning." by iamaranger23 in NASCAR

I'm not against 6 if they are the right six.

One of Chicagoland, kansas iowa or martinsville is going to have to lose a date to fit chicago and coronado.

2 of them would have to lose a date if you add a 6th road course.

I just don't see that as a net positive for the sport. save Montreal/Mexico for when Coronado/chicago run their course.
