A short track somewhere
So we know Berlin and Stafford. Thunder Road is supposed to get a date because their race got moved to Stafford this past year. And I'm sure Eldora will be on the schedule.

Are those terrible tracks or something?
No, but 3/4 of them are tracks they went to before and all of them are waaaay up north (Wisconsin, Vermont, Connecticut, Michigan). I mean, we all know SRX isn't a serious racing series and that they are going around doing midweek exhibitions, so the idea of them running different tracks more frequently feels like part of the appeal for me as a viewer.

Again, I benefit since I can go see them in 2024 after having missed out on buying a ticket to the 2023 Berlin event. It works for me on that level, but beyond that, it isn't anything I'm going to pay attention to probably. I assume track capacity and past sales are part and parcel of why this is the slate of tracks.

Berlin was maybe the best event yet and Thunder Road is good to see confirmed back after getting cancelled for the flooding issues. But it kinda rings hollow when they boast about ~50 tracks trying to get in on hosting this thing and wind up repeating venues every other year or, in Stafford’s case, every year.

I'm guessing it all comes down to one thing $$$

Stafford-5
Eldora-2
Knoxville
IRP
Slinger-2
Nashville-2
5 flags
South boston
I-55
sharon
Motor mile
Berlin-2
thunder road
Lucas oil
Tbd-2

15 tracks out of 24 potential races with 2 of 2024's unknown. Stafford obviously got the flooded out race last year but what about every other year...how much of that has to do with ESPN being based in Connecticut.

Stafford is a rarity in that it's a non-Cup track with SAFER and a lot of seating. I'm sure that's a big part of it. And SRX started as a timebuy on CBS, so I don't know why that ESPN would be a consideration in Years 1 & 2.

I hope the driver lineup can get Earnhardt Jr. & Gordon, Mayfield, etc sooner than later & perhaps other drivers like Travis Pastrana, Scott Speed, Bobby Pierce, Ricky Thornton Jr, Donny Schatz, Brad Sweet etc, and maybe a full 13 or 14 car field.

I’m not overly impressed with the schedule but Berlin, Slinger, Stafford are excellent tracks. I actually hope they find a couple new dirt tracks or drop Eldora for the year.
