But at the same time I think this might be just what NASCAR needed to get back into the hearts of racing fans. Its the first race I have actually watched in maybe 5 years. And could be the start of a new era that many of us have been waiting for. A change from a majority of oval tracks to maybe at least for the coming years a split in the oval to roadcourse "ratio". Maybe beyond that a change over to a majority roadcourse. With certain tracks such as Indy, Daytona, Talladega, and Pocono being the only tracks left as ovals. With of course Indy and Daytona with roadcourses inside the oval.

My local track, Kansas Speedway is partly there already with two straights and a hairpin. So it wouldn't take much for it to have a half oval half roadcourse season as we do have two races a year for the now so called Monster Energy series.


But I can see them going farther than that and racing at COTA, Road America, Road Altanta, Virginia International Raceway, Mid Ohio just to name a few. And going international racing at the two main Canadian tracks and in Mexico City.

I don't think you would have to change the cars much either since they do have roadcourse specific cars they race at Sonoma and Watkins glen anyway. Either way by doing what I had laid out here, they could become the most diverse series in the world. Indy holding that title for now, racing on both the oval and roadcourse at Indy, and racing at some of the same ovals that NASCAR does minus Daytona and Talladega, while hitting the majority of roadcourses in the country.
