I like racing of about any kind, of course sprint cars are my favorite. I don’t watch a lot of NASCAR these days, if I do it will be the last 30 laps or so. I will give kudos to NASCAR for being willing to take some bold moves. The cookie cutter 1.5 mile tracks are redundant and do not provide exciting racing. Moving the Brickyard 400 to the road course is a great move, NASCAR on the “oval” is probably the worst race on the circuit. They have contracts with tracks and can’t just eliminate some, likely the reason they are trying dirt at Bristol. Hey, if they run this like a Saturday night short track with heats and then a feature I am all in and will give it a look. In the end, they likely had little choice but to shake things up, ratings, attendance, and sponsorship are all down. I hope this helps, I am never happy when major racing series are struggling.
