I for one, am glad to see some more road course action with stock cars.

yea, but only on the 7litre engines. All the others were exempt.

There were no other engines used at that time.   
I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

They were all 7 litre engines in 1970.

I'm all for more road courses, however the BC is like the prelude of the Daytona 500.  Putting it on the road course makes it like a continuation of the 24 hrs of Daytona.  They should have a race on Road America

I have to believe Road America is on the shortest of short lists for tracks not having a Cup date.     Road America consistently is among the biggest crowd draws for a stand-alone Xfinity race.    They need a date that fits their already packed schedule (might be the biggest problem) and they would have to pony up the sanction fee to NA$CAR.     

As to the Clash on the road course, I'm actually all in for it.   I will pay to see the full size Cup cars run the road course.    It's a non-points and they are using old cars.   So all they have to bring back is the steering wheel.    They will still be able to have the Big One coming to the flag.

One has to stop and think, there's only going to be 20 cars or less on track.  Not everyone can throw a car around the curves.  Looks like it's going to be a drawn out field.  Not very entertaining to watch.  Some of the lesser known teams have good road course guys.  The odds of them being in that field are pretty slim.  The Daytona road course needs its own date with a full field.

All the top drivers now are excellent road racers.     They have almost a full year to play in the simulators too.    There was discussion of the second Daytona race being on the road course in the future.    So that could happen.

I don't see how the show could be less craptastic than the six cars running at the finish of the Clash this year.    And the winner had been wrecked.

Due to the virus, the next two Nascar races will have no fans.
So, the 3 of you can stay home.   :slap:

They're doing eNASCAR, in other words, online video games, and broadcasting those.

I randomly caught the one for Texas Speedway on Sunday and decided too watch it. I think they did a great job of it, but it will be only one I watch. Interesting to see once, but any time you watch others playing video games how long can you really stay interested?
