Look forward to see’n the new background...
On the subject of the schedule, Dale Earnhardt Jr. spoke up for a lot of folks recently when he was asked whats wrong with the racing. Junior doesnt believe the racing is all that bad, but he does believe what makes it seem that way are too many races on the mile-and-a-half tracks, where they all seem to look alike.
His solution? Simple. Just build more short tracks.
We put on some really good races at those tracks, but we keep cutting them from the schedule, he said, referring to the loss of tracks such as Rockingham and the rumored demise of one of Martinsvilles two annual events. We keep racing at every mile-and-a-half that we can produce in a big market, and we keep getting the same kind of racing.
We need more short tracks. It would be fun to race on more short tracks. I think they put on good races and we can put good crowds in those seats. Theyre cheaper to build. Its easier to build a half-mile track than a mile-and-a-half for sure. Its exciting. Maybe were going to swing that direction.
Couldnt have said it better myself. Maybe Bruton Smith should take the advice to heart and reconfigure the Atlanta Motor Speedway into a Bristol clone.
As it will all season, the sagging economy is this years biggest NASCAR story, and the news got worse this past week when the No. 8 owned by the AIG of NASCAR, Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing, was shut down due to lack of sponsorship. :(
