Your Ideal NASCAR Schedule

Basically post how you would design the NASCAR Cup Series schedule.

I would remove all of the second races except for Daytona, Charlotte, and the Championship venue.

1. Daytona
2. Phoenix
3. Las Vegas
4. Bristol
5. Long Beach
6. Milwaukee Mile
7. Texas
8. Richmond
9. Mid-Ohio
10.Talladega
11. Darlington
12. Charlotte (600 miler)
13. Dover
14. Pocono
15. Portland International Raceway
16. Michigan
17. Kentucky
18. Sonoma
19. New Hampshire
20. Indianpolis
21. Watkins Glen
22. Atlanta
23. Texas World
24. Reliant Park
25. Charlotte (500 miler)
== Chase Races ==
26. Daytona
27. Kansas
28. Montreal
29. Martinsville
30. Homested
31. Rockingham Speedway
32. Mansfield Motorsports Speedway
33. Road America
34. Iowa
35. (The Championship Venue)

I don't care how insane my schedule looks, I like it that way.

CUP:

**Shootout**
1) Daytona
2) Rockingham
3) Las Vegas
*Off Week*
4) Bristol
5) Atlanta
6) Martinsville
*Easter Off Week*
7) Texas
8] North Wilkesboro
9) Richmond
10) Talladega
*Off Week*
**All Star**
11) Charlotte
12) Dover
13) Pocono
14) Michigan
15) Sears Point
16) Chicago
17) Daytona
18) Lime Rock Park
19) Indianapolis
20) Pocono
21) Watkins Glen
*Off Week*
22) Bristol
23) Darlington
24) Richmond
25) Loudon
26) Dover
27) Kansas
*Off Week*
28) Charlotte
29) Talladega
30) Martinsville
31) Phoenix
32) Homestead
33) Atlanta

One Asterisk is Night, Two is Day-To-Night
+ means it's in laps, and goes in front of the lap total, but won't go in front if the track length is one mile
The only tracks with 2 races are Daytona and Charlotte; Daytona kind of has three races
The schedule's messed up but I don't care

Y no Isle of Man?

Isle of Man can be the All-Star race.

I also think NASCAR should hold a stock car road race only division. That would be nice. A schedule:

1. Daytona Road
2. VIR
3. Homestead Modified Road
4. St. Petersburg
5. Mid-Georgia (forget the track name, the Indy Lights raced there in 1997)
6. New Jersey
7. Phoenix Road
8. Portland
9. Infineon
10. Edmonton
11. Indy Road (week after Brickyard 400)
12. Mosport
13. Watkins Glen
14. Montreal
15. Topeka
16. Road America
17. Reliant Park
18. Barber
19. Lime Rock

Especially since it doesn't exist anymore!

1-36. Lake Afton

North Wilkesboro isn't open at the moment, but the Save the Speedway foundation has been working for a few years to get somebody to open it again. In '09 they struck a deal with Speedway Associates to get it opened again, and that lasted for a little while, until Save the Speedway walked out on it. Dumb move in my opinion.

Lastly, I think that going to Gilles Villeneuve is also a long-shot, because NASCAR is a national sport, not international.

NASCAR went to Montreal in the Nationwide Series. Doesn't mean Cup can't imo.

I know. Don't ask me how that happened though. I believe my point still stands, though. The N in NASCAR, after all, stands for National.

Race 1: Daytona
2: Matt Contey Speedway in Paris France
3: Isle of Man
4-50 Talladega
50-1000: Isle of Man
1000-9000: Matt Contey Speedway in Paris France
9001: Vegeta International Speedway

The National Hockey League sanctions several Canadian teams and was actually started in Canada. I don't think the National label in any sport really means strictly American.

Whereas "national" applies to the nation of origin. We aren't that self-centered.

Sorry, Matt, but who cares? This is an ideal schedule. It doesn't have to be exactly correct...
