I think the midweek race is only going to be 300 or so miles.

Kudos to NASCAR

Nascar makes the most sense off all the sports getting up and running first.

The invitational stuff was cool, but I'm ready for the real thing.

I’m going to say Sonoma and Chicago will be on the list.

IMO. Watkins Glen & Michigan as well because of their governors.

We gonna fire up the pick em when we start back fellas?

I figured it would be from a state that doesn't want to open up. All three fit the bill.

 

[gordonr24]

If my math is correct, Darlington may be lined up for three races this year. I wouldn’t complain.

I prefer Darlington to Chicago and Sonoma anyway.

Have they released the full schedule yet ? I'm not seeing it at Jayski's which is where I usually get my NASCAR news and NASCAR.com being evil and not loading for me.

A lot of truth in that statement from Wheeler.

Absolute shame we don’t race anymore at North Wilkesboro. Or Rockingham. I will riot if Darlington is ever taken off the schedule.

I was too young to remember Wilkesboro but watch that sim race today, I wish they would clean it up and bring it back. It would make for some dang good racing. Same with the Rock. Darlington is one of my favorite races all year as well. Glad it’ll get a couple of more this year.

I don’t think they have. All I’ve seen is through June so far. I’m with you on Chicago but I will say the road courses over the years have become some of my favorite races.

Can’t touch staples:

Darlington
Daytona
Talladega
Bristol
Martinsville
Richmond

I’d even argue Michigan, Pocono, Atlanta, and the two road courses as tracks NASCAR should never leave.

Agreed with all those. Pocono is hit or miss sometimes for me though. Strategy is what makes that race interesting to me. It does suck Richmond is losing a date because of all this, but hopefully they will still get to keep their one. I’m curious to see how they’re gonna handle the Martinsville and Dega races that were missed because of all this. I’m thinking mid week races later in the schedule or double header weekends when they go back in the fall. But with both those being playoff races, not sure how they could make that work. They’d almost have to make a trip before then
