[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 259568, member: 9859"] The folks that schedule racing for NASCAR need to realize that scheduling and logistics go hand in hand, for example two races at the same track in California are one race too many...Add to that that the ratings for the event plummeted last year's television ratings for the same event...It's an off weekend for the Cup Series, where in past racing years an event would have been run this weekend at Rockingham. No wonder the Southern based race fans who have been following NASCAR for 30 or 35 years are annoyed at the new scheduling... Some of the road-racing facilities are downright beautiful: Road America, Watkins Glen, Laguna Seca, Road Atlanta and Infineon Raceway rank among the most picturesque in the world. But while I can certainly recognize and enjoy the ambience of these unique places, the actual on-track interest leaves me cold. It’s one thing to race sports cars or Indy cars on these types of circuits. In fact, over the last few years I've begun to at least be somewhat interested in watching cars that belong on road courses actually race on these circuits. But to put a lumbering 3,400 pound NEXTEL Cup stock car out there is ludicrous. Let's be honest, Cup cars were not designed for road racing. Teams have to go out and buy or develop a road racing-specific design just to be able to enter a race twice a year, an added expense that's seriously unnecessary in this age of skyrocketing costs.
