So when does NA$CAR hit the road courses? Why do the drivers talk about wanting to do more road courses but NA$CAR keeps saying they aren't interested in adding any?
Wrong.Because fans dont care about road courses. Also they're not real race tracks.
Wrong.
Twice.
Have you been to Sonoma? Watkins Glen?Not really, this place may like the road courses but this place isn't the only place for NASCAR fans. Road courses just dont appeal to American race fans or casual fans.

Whats your point? That people go to the races? They are there for NASCAR not the track. NASCAR is the biggest racing league in America because of oval racing, thats what appeals to the American fan.Have you been to Sonoma? Watkins Glen?
I've turned a few F1 fans on to NASCAR because I mentioned that NASCAR does indeed run road circuits and not exclusively ovals.Whats your point? That people go to the races?

Believe it or not, many racing fans have no interest in NASCAR because they look down on oval track racing as beneath road circuit racing.
Can't we all just get along

Some people are open-minded and some are not.
Some get what racing is about and some do not.
They're adding road courses. Reluctant or otherwise.I was simply answering the original post question with a legit answer. I watch all kinds of racing from NASCAR to Indy to F1 to IMSA and what ever else comes on TV. Its a fact the oval racing appeals more to American racing fans than road courses therefore NASCAR is reluctant to add more to the schedule.
You answered with a generalization and a false statement.I was simply answering the original post question with a legit answer.
Are we not getting along? I can disagree with someone and still get along with them.
You answered with a generalization and a false statement.
You confuse what is legitimate with what is your opinion.
Well thats your problem because I have no problem with you.Nope definitely not
Just jokesWell thats your problem because I have no problem with you.
It is funny how quickly and how sharply a lot of people changed their tune on road racing. You'd think they'd single-handedly save NASCAR the wave some people jerk about them sometimes.I love plate races but wouldn't give you a nickel for a road course..... I'm also not a fan of short track racing.....
Now every one can pile on....... LOL........

I don't understand throwing a blanket over all intermediates like that. I'd agree that they probably have too many dates and I'd like to see some more diversity on the schedule, but some of those places put on really good racing.I will take a road course over any mile and half any day.
A declarative statement does not constitute a fact. It's your opinion. You're entitled to it.No, my answer was smug with a real race track dig but it was a fact.

I love road racing, but you can have less than interesting races on them just like you can on ovals. And there are "boring" road courses just as there are "boring" ovals. They're like a shiny new penny now that they've had some classic finishes and have been adding more in the other two national series. But there are courses where NASCAR would excel and ones where they probably wouldn't, and I firmly believe they need to be selective in which ones they add if they do eventually expand to the range of 4-6 events per year.
shiny new penny? they have been around as long as early Nascar has. The road courses they have added in Xfinity and the one race in the trucks aren't in any way over saturating the schedule. Ain't no way another road race or two in cup is going to overbalance anything IMO
As ive said this place isn't the only place NASCAR fans exists. NASCAR isn't looking at this place either, they care about grabing the casual fan.A declarative statement does not constitute a fact. It's your opinion. You're entitled to it.
When the thread ends, count the yays and the nays.
