No one will ever convince me that two wreckfests a year at talladega are preferable to two Darlington races.

No one will ever convince me that two races a year at New Hampshire makes more sense than one at Rockingham.

Oh, and who loses the next race? Martinsville. Book it.

why are they getting rid of racing at The rock. that really angers me, but it is going to be awsome to see a night race at darlington!!!

I couldn't agree more, EMP. I have never thought that ANY of the races at New Hampshire were ever exciting! And, as I have said time and time again, I certainly didn't want Texas' 2nd date to come at the expense of Rockingham or Darlington.

Well, with only a seating capacity of 25,000 I would say the chances of getting a Cup race at Nashvile are ZERO. Now Kentucky, they have decent seating capacity 66,000+ and look to have room to expand, I think falls victim of being too close to all those east coast tracks.

Oh well, NASCAR is heading west wether we like it or not!

Amen, EMP.

Just wish there was a cup race with in a days drive of me (drive down before the race and come home after) but thats dega and thats 6 hours from me.

Well it looks like im going back in to dirt track mode and not going to worry about nascar for a while.

I dont care if Nascar heads west... but at least replace the tracks with innovative tracks, short tracks, road courses, something... we have enough cookie cutters as it is. Hopefully the northwest area steps up and builds a Rockingham replica.

Why does anyone wonder why the races are being cut from Rockingham and Darlington. Empty seats at Rockingham (most years) and a struggle to sell out Darlington. On top of this both of those tracks hold around 60K seats. I am not denying their importance to history; however, you have to wonder why all those screaming and shouting were when they were asked to stand up and buy tickets???

Aggiewes

I'm all for westward expansion as I've stated before (Pike Peak Int. Raceway could handle a date!!)...Nascar has to try and some opportunities for the rest of the country....

Which leads me to a totally crazy idea...what if there were two DIVISIONS of Nascar? East vs West. US vs THEM. Oldschool vs. Newschool.

Most importantly, a 'playoff' that would actually mean something.

I dunno. Looks pretty good on screen....no wait it looks stupid....no, good!...stupid...good....

Sounds like a good idea but.......................could you sell out a track knowing that Dale Jr or Jeff Gordon wouldn't be there?
