We all know people will say the obvious ones, Rockingham, Nashville, Iowa, Road America, Canadian Tire, etc. I'm thinking tracks people wouldn't normal pick for a race for NASCAR that would produce a cool race.


For me after going there last week New Jerseys Bridgeport speedway would make for a cool dirt race. Its 5/8th of a mile so big enough to have a bit more speed then Eldora. I think it could easily make for a good truck race.
 
Monaco

or

New Orleans area -- wouldn't have to be a great race, just fun to be around; and NASCAR would go the extra step of throwing a late race Caution to make it a memorable finish...

This with the addition of IRP and Utah Motorsports Campus instead of Willow Springs
 
Evergreen Speedway - Monroe, Wash.

Skagit Speedway, Alger, Wash.

Partial to these two on a personal level after some minor success at each of them.
 
Five Flags and IRP. And every chance I get, I plug North Wilkesboro also. I know it aint happening , but I can wish.
I’ll second you on that!
Others I would like to see are (doesn’t even have to be Cup. I’d settle for Trucks or Xfinity)
Rockingham (Triple Weekend-Trucks/Xfinity/Cup)
Fairgrounds Speedway (Cup with Xfinity. Trucks get standalone date)
Gateway Motorsports Park (Trucks/Xfinity/Cup weekend)
Milwaukee Mile (Xfinity/Trucks standalone)
Road America (Cup for sure gets my vote)
Iowa Speedway (Cup)
Portland International Raceway (Cup)
Myrtle Beach Speedway (Xfinity/Trucks weekend)
Pure out of right field: Spa, Abu Dhabi, Monza, Surfers Paradise and Burke Cleveland Airport
 
Road America, IRP, Rockingham, Laguna Seca, COTA, Milwaukee, Daytona roval, Indy roval
 
The ideal tracks I'd like to see host top 3 series races are (listed by series that will get a new event, if the series already races there, it won't be mentioned)

Circuit Giles Vilevenueve Montreal or MoSport (Cup)- A fantastic course for stock cars with great local support, it's time to look at international expansion of the Cup schedule, and logically, Canada is the first step.

Iowa (Cup)

Road America (Cup)-Wisconsin loves stock car racing, and with a great layout course

Mid-Ohio (Cup)

Gateway (Cup

Indy Road Course (Cup only)

Portland (all 3 series)

Nashville (all 3 series

Rockingham (NXS, a test to see if The Rock can support a major event, to see about possibly bringing Cup back, if the race is financially successful)

Toledo (NXS)

Barber (NXS)

COTA (NXS for now, much like Rockingham, this is a test to see if a Cup race can succeed)

Laguna Seca (NXS)

Sebring (NXS)

IRP (NXS and GOTS)

Memphis (NXS and GOTS)

Myrtle Beach (GOTS)

Bowman Gray (GOTS)

Irwindale (GOTS)

Stafford/Thompson (GOTS)

Toledo (GOTS)

Knoxville (GOTS)

Miller (GOTS)

Evergreen (GOTS)

Heartland Park Topeka (GOTS)

South Boston (GOTS)
 
To test those tracks, the Xfinity schedule should be made up of races that the track owners have bid on 2 yrs in advance. A one day competition each year where all bids would be signed on a specific contract agreement and those bids would be opened at a bid depository (separate from Nascar) same as other job bids are done.
