NASCAR stages road course test at Charlotte Motor Speedway

IMO this is NASCARs last chance before remaking the schedule in a major way. You just cannot keep running the same tracks a couple times a year. Either change configurations for the second race or send it to another track. We have enough in Mexico, Canada and here to find different places to run
 
One way NASCAR makes money is by charging the tracks for the privilege of hosting races. Any owner wanting to take a race away from ISC or SMI is going to have to outbid them. That's going to take deep pockets.
 
Heartburn Turn :D:D

I am so excited for this
 
Wall makes me nervous as hell. I’d rather see a car barrel into another one entering oval T1 than hit a solid wall with some tires at 170+

They will have just come out of the front stretch chicane, so I am thinking they will be a little slower than that at the braking zone to heart burn turn. From what I saw earlier when they were practicing a while back, they have a really large deep section of tires at that wall.

I am so ready to get this one going.

Byron killed it pretty well during testing over the summer.

^^ that's pre Heartburn all by himself, wait until there are 38 on the track. Going to be a wild one. I think the S before Heartburn won't have any Astro Turn left after the race. Hope they are set up for dirt trackin.
 
What's the plan to keep the turf from coming up in sheets anytime a car hits the brakes or spins on it?
 
Who all is going?
I just scored a hot pass! Woo Hoo!!! This will be my first time in the pit area since 1990!
I'm not sure where we are going to sit in the stands yet.

I don't know if they're renovating the roval or using the outside road course, but LVMS is likely bringing back sports car racing next October. With two NASCAR dates now that could be something to keep an eye on.

I hope the Charlotte race goes cleanly. I think it'll be really challenging, which is good, but I don't want to see a mess.
 
We are fixing to find out at 7:30 tonight. I wouldn't use clean or Go Karts to describe what is going to happen though.
