Autoclub Speedway Shortened To 400 Miles

For the fall race, that is.....

Also, the Phoenix race is to be extended by 63 laps for the spring race.

This was just reported on SIRIUS/XM NASCAR Radio.

Now, if we could just get Autoclub Speedway eliminated all together. I'm just saying.

Some of this off-season's news has been good. This is one of them.

Not sure how I feel about this. I'd rather seen Auto Club have only one 400 mile race a season. Phoenix is a good track, but 600 miles is a long race and now we're going to do that twice a year? Once at Phoenix, and again at Charlotte?

Why are they making changes to these tracks when Ponono and Michigan both have 2 races and tend to be very boring?

I agree on Auto Club. One race is enough.

I'm not sure where you get 600 miles @ Phoenix. They increased it by 63 laps. It is a one mile track. The race will be 375 miles in length rather than 312 miles. And, that is just for the spring race.

I think you meant 600 kilometers at Phoenix? Well, 604km

Yeah, that was my bad. I was reading an ESPN article and they said 600 miles instead of 600 kilometers. That's why I was like "damn that's a long race".

Serves me right for trusting anything written on ESPN.
