Strange....I don't see any dirt track mentioned.....You'd think with the popularity of the Eldora truck race.....Oh, ya.....NA$CAR-----Think...oxymoron
 

Sucks when the company owns most of the sandboxes to play in and they'd take a hit on revenue....But what are they doing now?

What would be a neat idea to do is this. Take a away the second races at tracks except, Daytona, Talladega. Every track gets one race and they get to choose their weekend.  Do away with Indy,  that track is only for Indy Cars, the only successful NASCAR race was the first one.  So these tracks would only have one race weekend:

Atlanta, Phoenix, Fontana, Texas, Chicago, Kansas, Bristol, Martinsville, Pocono, New Hampshire, Las Vegas, Charlotte, Kentucky, Homestead, Michigan, Richmond, Dover

Road Courses: Infineon, Watkins Glen, The Roval-- Will go to a rotation base. Every year you throw in different road courses, theres enough out there you can do this.

So here is my plan you still run 36 races a year.

All main tracks will get at least one race a year except Daytona and Talladega--They each get two. 

The Daytona 500, and Firecracker 400 stay as same weekends.

So the remaining tracks( including road courses) select a weekend to race.

The remaining 16 races go into a lottery, any track that is 3/8 of a mile and bigger and not a track on the current schedule can put their name into this lottery.

So tracks like Nashville, Iowa, Pensacola, Myrtle Beach, Mobile, Cota, Sebring (you get the idea) get a NASCAR race.

Then for the xfinity and truck series all races that are run at the major tracks are run same weekend.  The tracks that get the lottery picks get a Cup Series race, the tracks that didn't get picked in that lottery stay in and then they have a shot at an Xfinity or Truck Series race and that goes on rotation as well(so lets say HMP gets a Cup race in 2020, in 2021 they can get a Xfinity or Truck race, then in 2022 you restart the process over again. 

The Clash and AllStar race go to a rotation amongst tracks that anyone can enter, (if the AllStar race goes to a track of 1/2 and shorter the drivers get to pick the cars they race) So if Eldora was to win the AllStar Lottery the drivers can say we want to run a truck, cup car, dirt late model, modified, sprint car make the race exciting to watch.

Other Stipulations do away with the chase wipe it out.  Do away with guaranteed starting spots the fastest 40 cars make it, if Kyle Busch or Jimmie Johnson screw up in qualifying and don't make the field oh well. When it comes to Lottery Pick tracks there is NO TESTING allowed and those races are ran in 1 Day.   2-30 min practice sessions, 2 Lap Qualifying, and then 150 to 200 lap shootout with a 5 minute halfway break.

I think this will bring back some excitement, will let you get into tracks and areas that have never been in before or haven't been in in a long time.
