With the NASCAR teams forming the Race Team Alliance and
talking about saving money on costs and drivers now speaking out on changing
tracks and days of racing, I figured that I would redesign the schedule for
NASCAR and the tracks in the Chase.
I do like Ryan Newman’s idea of racing on Wednesday
nights, although that might hurt attendance at the races. Jimmie Johnson had
put out there that maybe cutting back on the amount of races. Tony Stewart has
advocated bringing new tracks. And there are other ideas out there as well. I
am going to use some of the ideas. The one idea that I absolutely agree with is
no Super Speedways in the Chase. So that would eliminate Daytona and Talladega
from the last 12 races. That doesn’t mean that they won’t play a part in determining who gets through to the Chase.
Let’s figure out how to make the schedule a bit better than what it is.
