Fast Cars

Does NASCAR need better fast car courses?

At the end od the day, I don’t know the answer, I don’t have a clear idea how to fix it. With so many cookie cutter tracks on the schedule, it is pretty much impossible to make it as interesting as it once was. Trading out race dates at places like Winston-Salem, North Wilkesboro, Rockingham, and such, and replacing them with 1.5mile D shaped ovals sprinkled all over the US has taken away much of the character and nature of the series, and replaced it with a sort of generic “race of the week” look that to me just looks like the same track with a different name painted on the wall and a different background on the wide shots. Otherwise, it is the same old same old, playing into the hands of the teams with the most money for development of downforce and plate race cars, and less reward for the good drivers that tend to flourish on the slightly tighter or more skill oriented tracks.
