More smoke around Chicagoland coming back
SVG killed that experiment. Reducing the number of road courses accordingly.

If a single driver won half the 1.5-mile oval races, would you advocate reducing the number of those? Waltrip won seven Bristol races in a row; I guess that track should have been dropped decades ago.SVG killed that experiment. Reducing the number of road courses accordingly.
Probably some fans wanted Bristol burned during that time.If a single driver won half the 1.5-mile oval races, would you advocate reducing the number of those? Waltrip won seven Bristol races in a row; I guess that track should have been dropped decades ago.

Folks ARE whining for Bristol to get dropped. Something about attendance (which I don’t know why they care about, do they work for NASCAR?) and something about “Muh Entertainment”. Bristol isn’t the problem, nor was it ever.Probably some fans wanted Bristol burned during that time.
Coronado baby!!!!! Going to be amazing. I have stayed on the island a lot....in fact, heading there next month. Hard to get my head around where they will be racing, but isn't that always the case with street courses? Ingress and egress will be interesting, but who the hell cares?! I CANNOT WAIT. I am so there!!!!!!!Done deal.

Buescher beat him heads up.Mark Martin won Watkins Glen three years in a row in the mid-90s.
Jeff Gordon won three straight road courses.
Kevin Harvick won at Phoenix SIX times in eight races.
When Chase Elliott was dominating the road courses, fans wanted more of them.
Lets not forget either that Michael McDowell had SVG's number at Chicago.
No Chicago street race next year
Same weekend as Kentucky. Some of y'all are stuck in a presumption loop.So when do Chicagoland Speedway Tickets go on sale???
I’ll post the link when it’s live and then we’ll see if there’s still a presumption loopSame weekend as Kentucky. Some of y'all are stuck in a presumption loop.
I wish you much success. I think it won't happen but that doesn't mean I don't want it to.I’ll post the link when it’s live and then we’ll see if there’s still a presumption loop

The stated preference is to return to the street course in 2027. Would you overhaul Chicago for a single year when RA is ready just up the road?
Also on the list of things I'd like to see but would bet against happening.Sh*t-can the Chicago Street Race completely and replace it with Road America.
Take a race from Kansas and give it to Chicagoland.

It does if NASCAR is going back to stay. NASCAR says its goal is to return to the street course in '27. I don't know how much sense it makes to get it back in shape for one weekend.Going back makes a ton of sense.
NASCAR also told us they were going back to Fontana….this can go either way I thinkIt does if NASCAR is going back to stay. NASCAR says its goal is to return to the street course in '27. I don't know how much sense it makes to get it back in shape for one weekend.

I’m fascinated to see what the layout looks like. If anything, it should be an incredible sight to see.![]()
NASCAR headed to San Diego's Coronado Naval Base in 2026 | RACER
NASCAR will race on the Coronado Naval Base in San Diego in the summer of 2026, according to concepts of the event plan to be announced this week.racer.com
I guess it wasn't out of the question!
I recognized Bougainville a WW2 Naval campaign against the Japanese in the Pacific.I should have stated, that pic is part of the Coronado Naval installation in San Diego,site of the future road course race...
I just can't tell you how excited I am for this. I have vacationed on that island several times. The only way those vacations could have been better is with a race....and it is happening!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!! ....and back to SoCal!!!! I love SoCal!!!!! So ****** excited!!!!!It will be interesting to see how the layout is for this race.
