Should all nascar races be on race tracks less than 1 mile?

Question

if i had a choice i woul have all shorts tracks and they all would be on saturday or sunday nights

Answer 1

Yes they should! Short tracks provide the best racing in Nascar...heck all these cookie-cutter 1 1/2 milers are not even close to selling out each year, but yet NASCAR still gives them more races than the short tracks. Go watch a race at Bristol, half-mile oval with 160,000 fans...now there's an experience. You would think NASCAR would get the message that Short Tracks are better and rating boosters, but yet I still have to laugh when I see them at a track like Fontana and there's more empty seats than filled ones.

Answer 2

Put it on dirt, and bring back the saying rubbin is racin.

Answer 3

variety is the spice of life, my friend, keeps things interesting!

Answer 4

I understand what you are saying...short tracks are fun to watch.

But Nascar has always had different types of racing.

If all the races were 3/4 or 1/2 mile races, you wouldn't get to see who is the best racecar driver...and that IS what you want to know at the end of the season.  Isn't it?

I like the few road courses (not too many, not too few), and the few super speedways.

I do agree that there are too many 1.5 mile racetracks.  I think the solution is to get rid of two cookie cutter tracks and give one race back to "the rock" and give Darlington back it's second race.

Answer 5

No!  NASCAR ain't broke.  Why do people keep trying to fix it?  I love all of the different tracks; that's what makes it so interesting.

Answer 6

As exciting as short track races are, 36 of them would be like watching the same thing every week.

Answer 7

heck no! In fact they should add one more road course and some dirt tracks for fun! ha ha

Answer 8

I know what you mean.  The best races are at the odd shaped tracks like Darlington and the short tracks.  I wish they would go back to Rockingham.

Answer 9

No...they should all be a little different...length, width, angle of tracks, corners, etc....

Sunday Nights???? Thats not good, most of us have to get up early for work on Monday.

Answer 10

No.

You have a good point, but there are many stock car circuits that just race on short tracks.  NASCAR is a step up, the big leagues, if you will.  I think the bigger tracks is what separates NASCAR from the other sanctioning bodies.  Tracks like Atlanta, Kansas, and Vegas don't have non stop action like the short tracks, but we've seen 500 miles worth of racing, and the winner takes the checker flag inches in front the second place driver.  To me, that's still exciting to watch.  

They've got some work to do with the COT, true, but we'll see some side by side action on the big tracks again.

Answer 11

No, it is good for their to be different types of tracks so it is more of a challenge for the drivers.

Answer 12

No it would get boreing with out the Super Speedways DUH

Answer 13

No.  They just need to stop with the cookie cutter tracks.  Make them unique like the old days.  

On TV you cant tell the difference between Atlanta and Texas which both copied Lowes.  Cali copied Michigan.  Chicago and Kansas are  mini Michigans.

Answer 14

no you need a little change   might as well pick all cookie cutters then

Answer 15

I'd love it if they would have a "short"track series.Though I like Talladega It is a 200 mph freight train.But the short tracks are for racing.
