The Schedule Realignment
With NASCAR talking of realigning the schdule, i decided to realign it myself and express my opinions of what i did. So here is my schdule
Non-points: Bud Shootout at Daytona---It gonna stay there because it helps with the build up of the 500.
Race 1: Daytona International Speedway, Daytona 500---This race will never be moved no matter what you say. Its a NASCAR Tradition to start the season off at Daytona.
Race #2: The Rock---I beleve we need to keep are history and are main tracks so thats why I kept it (Yet you'll see I made Bruton Smith happy)
Race #3: Vegas
Race #4: Atlanta
Race #5: Pennsilvania---I had to put it there to add a second date to a curtain track. And as you see Darlington has been moved. More on it when we get to the date I gave it.
Race #6: Bristol
Race #7: Texas
Race #8: Martinsville
Race 9: Dega
Race 10: California
Race 11: Richmond
Non-points: Nextel All-star Challenge (was known as the Winston) at Charlotte---I kept it there because I do beleve these guys deserve the two weeks in their own beds
Race 12: Charlotte
Race 13: Dover
Race 14: Pennsilvannia---I know your probally gonna bug me that the two races aren't really spread out. Well they are kinda...they use to be a month spread out on the old schdule and how much are they on this? A month so its the same difference thank you.
Race 15: Michigan
Race 16: Milwaukee---First reason is we don't need two road cources. Second reason is Milwaukee is a excellent track. IT deserves a cup date.
Race 17: Homestead-Miami---I know that Daytona is surpose to be here yet we all know how the season starts with Daytona well why not end there? Sounds good idea to me. And plus, were still going to florida.
Race 18: Chicago
Race 19: New Hampsure
Race 20: Texas---see Pennsilvannia moved up to where Darlington had a old date to give Texas their space. Your welcome Bruton Smith. And hey, Darlington will still have a date..you'll see.
Race 21: Indy
Race 22: Downtown Toronto---I have given my fellow canadians a date. Why? Because this track is a road course and it is very good one. You can pass on it like all your regular tracks. Now new york is probally gonna be complaining yet where is the banquet held? New York! So they still have a NASCAR special
Race 23: Michigan
Race 24: Bristol
Race 25: Darlington---I like to keep tradition so I have given Darlington back its labor day date.
Race 26: Richmond
Race 27: New Hampsure
Race 28: Dover
Race 29: Dega
Race 31: Kansas
Race 32: Charlotte
Race 33: Martinsville
Race 34: Atlanta
Race 35: Nashville at night---Same reason as Milwaukee--a great track that deserves a cup date
Race 36: Phoenix
Race 37: Daytona---I explained my reason at homestead.
So that is how I think the cup schdule should be. Now the bgn schdule? Well...lets just say this one toke long enough.
Thanks,
Ashley
