The main problem is competing with college football in the Fall. Another good argument for ending the season sooner.

Yeah, I would have no problem with a Labor Day championship weekend. Sure would be a long offseason though.

I agree with the majority, shorten the races. This would also cut cost by using fewer tires and fuel on each car. I would however keep Daytona and the Coca Cola 600 the same because they are traditional.

I would move Darlington back to Labor Day weekend and call it the Southern 500.

Like in golf I would pick 4 races to be 'majors' and my 4 would be the Daytona 500, Coca Cola 600, Brickyard 400 and Southern 500. Maybe these races could give out an additional 10 points for winning.

I would run more Saturday night races once the NFL season gets started. I'd rather compete with an NCAA game than an NFL game day. If the Vols are playing than the race would still be on Sunday. :)

Since the Vols are rarely "playing" this should be no problem.

this is some interesting news:

NOT TESTY: Carl Edwards, runnerup in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide series and a member of the successful Roush Fenway organization, said a contract is circulating among teams that would impose a self-ban on testing. The deal would go beyond NASCAR's one-year moratorium at venues that host races in the top three series.
"I've seen a contract that was written that (owner Jack Roush) said he's willing to sign, I'm willing to sign, that says if everyone will agree to this, then we won't test at all," Edwards said. "I think that's fine. That's great."
Edwards favors two-day race weekends, though he knows it would cost tracks a day of gate receipts even as it saves teams travel expenses. His ideal weekend, apparently conjured by his inner Allen Iverson, is "showing up and throwing the green flag."
"As long as everyone does the same thing, I mean, hell, what does everyone need all this practice for?" he asked. "…This is NASCAR Sprint Cup racing. We all know how to race. We've all been to these tracks before. Maybe you do a deal where guys who haven't been there before, they get a few hours of practice."

That is what I thought NASCAR should have done. Being able to test at non sanctioned tracks still gives the larger teams an advantage.
