[@coyoteannabis1192]

I'd love to see the Cup schedule pick up a few international dates. Not just Mexico and Canada. They ran a race at Motegi years ago and it went over well, I'd love to see that brought back every once in a while. I've also got this crazy idea for a cross promotion with the V8 Supercar series down in Australia. A split field double header. Two races, each race features 15 of their drivers and 15 of ours, running their own cars (they're similar enough there shouldn't be any safety issues). It would be an exhibition race, obviously. Then either next year or later in the same year, they can send a few drivers over. My ideal Cup schedule has a lot in common with the video, but I went a little harder. 1.) Daytona (obvs) 2.) Atlanta 3.) Darlington 4.) Bristol (paved, night race) 5.) Rockingham or North Wilkesboro (if they can get NWB in shape)* 6.) Charlotte (Roval) 7.) Martinsville 8.) Talladega Here they would get a bye week in mid April. They're going to need it because after, we got... 9.) COTA 10.) Vegas (day race on the dirt track) 11.) Mexico City + 12.) Australia I put another bye week in here for two reasons. First for travel fatigue, the second because it's Memorial Day weekend and it would feel a little inappropriate (to me) to have this next race on that weekend because the next race is... 13.) Japan (Motegi) *** 14.) Indianapolis (Road course. Nice little homecoming) 15.) Iowa *** 16.) Eldora (you think I'd let Vegas have all the fun?) 17.) Daytona (Road course, under the lights) 18.) Charlotte (oval) 19.) Richmond *** 20.) Canada ++ 21.) Silverstone *** Bye 22.) Dover 23.) Watkins 24.) Michigan 25.) Wisconsin **** 26.) Pikes Peak (a pipe dream, but I couldn't resist) 27.) California **** 28.) Vegas (night race) **** Bye 29.) Texas 30.) Kansas *** 31.) Bristol (Dirt. Assuming it works next year) 32.) Rockingham/NWB * 33.) Darlington 34.) Atlanta *** * If both tracks are available, alternate between the two. Run one in the spring, the other in the fall and swap every year. *** Hotseat track. Changes every year or so. Motegi could swap to Sazuka, another venue in Asia, or a second Australian date. Worst case they can pick up another date in California. Richmond could swap to New Hampshire or Pocono (but not every year). Kansas and Iowa can rotate with Kentucky and Mid-Ohio. Atlanta is open to any track. **** Mulitple track options. Alternate based on what's available and what has been run elsewhere in the season. California could be Fontana, Sonoma or Laguna. Wisconsin be the Speedway or the Mile. For the second Vegas race, I'd prefer the Bullring, but if it just doesn't work, drop it and swap in Phoenix. + Even if you need to build a track. ++ whatever is available. Every 3 years swap in a second European date.

[@clarkmckee4700]

My schedule only includes 2 changes. -Richmond(ISC owned) loses its spring race to Darlington(also ISC owned) -Indianapolis loses its race to Gateway. As for Iowa, Fairgrounds, Rockingham, Lucas Oil Raceway, Canadian Tire, Memphis, Road America and Mid Ohio, they’ll have to wait until ISC/SMI is willing to give up a race. Indy doesn’t need a NASCAR race and won’t be missed if it’s cut.

[@snake24jd]

You’ve got it right. More short tracks and more road courses. Way more exciting!

[@321gofast7]

I would want to see one or two more northern tracks like Pocono. It's not easy being a NASCAR fan up here, and Watkins Glen is pretty far away.

[@spencesmithback6683]

Swap the dates of spring Martinsville and COTA. Keep the western swing at 3 races, doesn't make sense for the teams to come home to Martinsville after 2 weeks away, only to immediately head back out to Texas.

[@blueredlover1060]

Either way, Martinsville it's going to be cold as hell. The mountains of Virginia in March or April and again in October isn't exactly comfortable. It's going to be right around freezing no matter what.

[@MxDeNaglowska]

I don't think you're thinking out of the box enough with how NASCAR should schedule. First off, Kentucky is my home track. I would walk personally to Sparta to give them the "eviction notice" that they were removed from the schedule if it meant getting Nashville Fairgrounds on the roster. Rockingham was the first Cup race I ever went to, but I think I would trade it out for North Wilkesboro on your roster. Eldora's not happening. It's fun to dream, but it ain't happening. OK, with all of that out of the way let's dream big here... Second weekend in Daytona: Let's do a Double Header. During the day, run on the road course. At night, the traditional oval. Both count as full points events. Or maybe do one the night before. I don't really care. The Daytona Double Feature needs to become a staple of the summer. If you can safely run sports cars on that road course, you can safely run Cup Cars. Bristol Night Race is fun, but let's take it up a notch: Short track rules. Heat Races. Transfer Spots, A-Main Feature. Part of what makes Eldora work is the format that's used. That's 50% of the magic of that race right there. Let's run the Cup Cars under that format at Bristol to make the night race an EVENT again!

[@thehunterstruck]

Apparently they’ve added COTA for 2021!!! And Bristol is gonna be a dirt race too!!!

[@kevinschmid238]

I wouldnt be mad at ALL 1.5 mile tracks moving to once a year instead of having 2 at most 1.5 mile tracks and replacing them with road/short tracks!

[@johnsomav4741]

[@Downtown-us9tb]

If you want to add 4 to 36 I would add Road America, Milwaukee, Michigan 2, and a second Darlington race

[@moperry8399]

I agree with this wholly, except for the placement of Sonoma and COTA. I'd move Sonoma to where Martinsville is, move Martinsville to COTA's weekend, and put COTA between Bristol and Talladega. Sonoma in that part of the year is gorgeous. I also want to keep Indy because it's my home track, but it's just not a very good race, so it's gotta get the ax.

Only thing I would knock on is Martinsville that early in the year. They’ve been pushing it with weather the past few years and the temps are in the mid-50s at best during the day. Night would be at or under freezing, and while it is Martinsville, many fans would likely prefer to stay at home if they didn’t live within a few hours of the track.

[@WastelandBowman]

I actually WANT the schedule shorter. 36 races is way too long, way too oversaturated. 28-32 races with one race at most tracks means people only get one chance to see racing at those tracks. Slightly forceful and manipulative? Maybe but hey, lots of tracks already have one date. Plus, it cuts costs for teams like you mentioned. I'd add a few more road courses though. Laguna Seca, maybe Road America.

Favorite tracks on this schedule. Short=Martinsville or New Hampshire Superspeedway=Daytona Road Course=Either CharlotteROVAL or Circuit of the Americas Intermediate=Chicagoland

[@BarbecueHockey]

They should make a 3 mile Ultra Speedway, and bring back Daytona Beach

[@joshuasweeney7864]

DaveSKI they should build the Motorsphere from NASCAR Racers

[@TheGreatCornholio.]

How about road America

[@sketchyAnalogies]

Love the randomland hat!

Nice schedule, except for my home track Kentucky not being on the schedule. I would like to see tracks bid on races so one year KY doesn't host a cup race and one does. They should move the Brickyard 400 to IRP honestly. More short tracks would be great, I think we should have one big west coast swing. Eldora could be fun, Iowa and Gateway could be fun too. I wish Kentucky would be more interesting someway somehow.

[@Miscraft]

Yeah. Kentucky and other tracks like Texas would be great if they weren't repaved

More Saturday night races in the fall would eliminate the NFL problem. Saturday night races at Martinsville, Texas and Phoenix could work.

What happened to Indianapolis

[@weatherguy8380]

Wait, we had a second Richmond race in 2018?!

[@Slidejob01]

Part of this came true, In 2 years

Maybe it’s because I’m a Jeff Gordon fan, but I really can’t get behind getting rid of the brickyard. I just don’t wanna see it go. Too many memories (besides that tire fiasco) for me to see it leave

[@ChasingChampionships]

4 road courses! I like the way you think.
