Should NASCAR Add More Road Races?
This weekend is NASCAR’s first road race of the season, the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. The only other road race is at Watkins Glen in mid-August. However, I think it’s time for NASCAR to add at least one more road race on the schedule, simply because it challenges the drivers like no other track on the circuit.
It’s no secret that 90% of current NASCAR drivers hate the road courses, primarily because they have no experience at them, but they’re fun to watch from a fan perspective. Oddly enough, they can turn into parade-lap racing, which I detest, but on a road race there are certain places that you know passes take place, and it’s a matter of one driver setting up another for a pass.
Road races don’t typically have the type of wrecks that oval tracks do, but that doesn’t mean the racing isn’t exciting.

For some reason road races have never really excited me. Once in a while I take the time to watch them but I really prefer the short tracks.
