I applaud NASCAR for boldly making large schedule changes. However, I, like others, don’t understand the Indy Daytona swap. I’m not sure how the crowd was at last year’s Brickyard, but it seems like they could’ve given it longer than a year in an Autumn slot.
Daytona as the final “regular season” race will definitely create some excitement, but I’m also afraid it will create a pile of destroyed race cars.
The pocono double header is a cool idea. Like Daytona though, I’m sure that’ll be much more beneficial for the fans than the teams.
The final race confuses me. I can’t recall Phoenix ever being a source for exciting racing, at least in NASCAR. Homestead is great, one of the few tracks where drivers can throw legitimate slide jobs lol.
I give NASCAR credit for trying. I feel bad for them in the sense that some people have already made up their mind that they’re going to dislike whatever NASCAR does. I like some of their moves, dislike others. I dislike the current format. I know it’s unlikely, but any format that makes it possible to win the first 35 races and lose the championship is a bit silly in my opinion. I like their stage racing. Even if you don’t, it’s tough to say it’s a bad move. Most people note that young generations are plagued with short attention spans, so I’m sure younger fans are more likely to watch if they see lap 25 of 100 as opposed to 25 of 300. Plus, the stages create more exciting racing.
Wishing the best for the sport. Kind of disappointing seeing some people almost find joy in their troubles in recent years. I’m excited to see Bell get to Cup and start winning.
