    Needs more road courses IMHO.. I'm a big fan of oval racing but the oval dominance on the NASCAR schedule may be a bit more decreased if it was up to me. Why don't they race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course or Edmonton City Centre Airport? Would be great to see the cabs running on such tracks.

    No, Im glad there are hardly any road courses. Mid-Ohio isnt good for stock cars. The garage area is too small as well.

    Really...? The racing on 1,5-mile high banked ovals is quite boring IMHO, while the racing at Road America and Montreal was really enjoyable... I don't see the point of 31 oval races in a 33 race schedule tbh..

    Im watching RaceDay on Speed Channel, wearing my Team GoDaddy crew jersey, drinking a Coke Zero waiting for the race at 2:00 in Dover. What a great day!

    I'm not sure it would make much difference how many road courses or 1.5 mile ovals they have on the schedule.

    The issue surely is that as soon as anybody builds up a lead, they put a car out to close them back up again. I don't think the drivers get much satisfaction from it, as they win races not because they're the best driver but because circumstances have been arranged in such a way as to allow them to win. Just look at the Dover race.

    What would be a practical way to add them?

    We'll be camping out at Loudon NH for both races. We hit Dover this year. Had a BLAST there. Very cool track.
