NASCAR at Sonoma 2016:
many | today | me

Posted on 06/26/2016 12:22:41 PM PDT by Zeneta

NASCAR Drivers are making right hand turns this weekend for the first time this season.

Should NASCAR add more "road courses" to their schedule?

Who's going to win this race?

My prediction for this 2016 NASCAR race at Sonoma.

Kurt Busch will battle with Brad Keselowski and Tony Stewart in the last laps.

Stewart will wreck "Bad Brad" to give Kurt the win.

Yes, more road courses. One more. Ditch one of the Loudon, NH races.

Rooting for Edwards.

More Darlington, and bring back Rockingham.

I agree, more road courses.

When both F1 and Indy cars run on road circuits, the battles for position are few and far between.

When NASCAR runs at Sonoma or The Glen, we get the door banging battles that make racing, racing.

What’s funny is that on those tracts most folks don’t realize that they spend more time turning right.

I can’t watch. No cable. I like road courses. I want at least one dirt track in the schedule. For plate tracks, they should run unrestricted engine with stock sheet metal.

Not interested in seeing Tony Stewart or Kyle Busch win, so please no more road courses—the ones NASCAR has right now are just enough.

There should be one road course race held as part of The Chase.

I have no problem with plate racing but these cars are fuel injected now. Do they still use restrictor plates?

That may even bring back the old slingshot pass

Dammit, I hate that turn where that Microsoft logo is. Turn 7 I think. The way that wall is positioned is unnecessarily dangerous.

And pray you don’t have a left front tire go down as you’re entering Turn 7.
