Goodbye, Mexico City?

Question

I've just read a story on Fox Sports stating that the Nationwide Series will not return to Mexico next year, but rather, the new race will take place in the U.S. My question is, which track should replace Mexico? Thoughts?

Answer 1

YES!!!!!!!! Finally!  No offence but that track sucked!  I hated that race and every time it came on I had to force myself to watch it.  I don't call going 45 around a turn..."racing"...lol  

ANY other track would be fine with me.  I am going to email NASCAR and see if they would consider my home track..>Fonda Speedway.  Whoo hooo!!  lol

Answer 2

Bring back the Rock.

Answer 3

I would love to see NASCAR back at the Rock, but another possible candidate would be Iowa Speedway. It might not be a good idea, because I'm really not sure how many grooves can be raced in. Laguna Seca would be awesome! Maybe Potland Raceway; not much of a following of NASCAR in the Pacific Northwest (besides producing Kasey Kahne  in Enumclaw WA) so a race could maybe expand the fan base? I just hope that they bring a race back to Rockingham: biggest mistake Nascar ever made taking away a race from there (with trusting Goodyear in a close second).

Answer 4

One down, one to go (Canada).  

Let's get these guys back in the State's.  

Don't know much about Iowa, isn't that Rusty's track?  That would be cool for him, if they got the date.

Answer 5

Rockingham would be good. At least one NASCAR series there would be cool. Maybe bring the trucks there as well.

Answer 6

You know, I bet Nascar(Nationwide series) is glad to not have to go there anymore. Don't get me wrong, I liked the track, its a good road course but it was a logistical nightmare for the teams. Just getting into Mexico is tough enough.

I wouldn't mind seeing a race back at the Rock but I'm betting they give it to Iowa and that's OK with me. Its very similar to Richmond.

Answer 7

Topeka Kansas road course

Answer 8

I'd like to see them race under the lights at Martinsville.  Laguna Seca would be cool too.

Answer 9

Wasn't there reports of some tracks that were closed down were going to open back up? I can't remember the tracks but there was a question related to that last week. Maybe it will be one of those tracks.

Answer 10

Am GLAD!!!!! and hopefully Iowa, good track!

Rather have Rockingham back or give it to Darlington

Answer 11

I would love to see Kentucky's' track on the Nationwide circuit.

Answer 12

A track that is in a state bordering Mexico, such as Dallas or Phoenix? That way it's still close to the border and people in that area can still drive to the race in a reasonable amount of time.

Answer 13

I read about that. I liked that track. Well we still have Montreal.

Answer 14

Good!!!!!! It is a American sport, keep it here. I think they need another race on the west side of the USA.

Answer 15

If they want to do another road course they should come to Road America, in eastern Wisconsin.

3 STR8 N 08!!!

Answer 16

i would agree  they will go to rustys iowa track

Answer 17

FiNALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 18

Lime Rock Park in Connecticut.  I know there is a Camping World East race there but I'd much rather a Nationwide race.

Answer 19

Probably gonna be Iowa.  Mexico has attendance problems and logistics problems.
