NASCAR is well on it's way to departing the south. Big tracks of the Carolinas have been kicked to the curb for western tracks.
People I know who are into racing are going back to the local tracks, some of them dirt.
They're already losing some of the best drivers. The older drivers like Martin and Wallace are still on the top of their game but are worn out from the endless travel.
The heritage and skill tracks are being tossed overboard for California (MIS II) Vegas, Ft Worth etc. Personally I wish they would go back to two races at Rockingham, and Darlington and return to North Wilksboro.
I'll take a schoolbus figure 8 race on a Saturday night over a Nascar event anyday! (Boat trailer figure 8s are also quite a hoot.)
I've often said, when Nascar starts running figure 8s, I'll buy a ticket.
