If you have a better idea, or think this is absolutely stupid, express it in the comments section but keep it cordial and based in reality. This exercise is totally for fun and are not reflective of any scoops. Both the Clash and All-Star Race have outlived its current usefulness and are better served as full-fledged races that count towards the championship. The biggest change you’ll see in this mock schedule is that these two exhibitions no longer exist and have been replaced with points-paying events.
While most consider the schedule to be 36 races, it’s actually 38 television dates that NASCAR could utilize however it sees fit, currently in the form of the current schedule plus two exhibition races in the Clash and All-Star Race. The tracks need to be owned by NASCAR, Speedway Motorsports Inc., Mattco Inc., Dover Motorsports or IMS, or are worthwhile enough to be realistically leased out to them in the same way Circuit of the Americas and Road America were placed on the 2021 schedule.Īn international exhibition similar to the winter races in Japan in the late 90s is a rumor that just won’t go away - be it China or Australia but the pandemic tempered that movement for now. This has to be based in reality to a degree. So, what could this schedule look like well into the next decade?įor one, this isn’t a true fantasy schedule, so you’re not going to see North Wilkesboro, no matter how much we all want it. However, there is also an equal parts push to reintroduce additional short tracks with new Fontana and a potential Nashville Fairgrounds revival. The Next-Gen car was built under the influence of Supercars, IMSA and Ind圜ar – meaning that road course racing is very much part of the longterm plan. The schedule is already starting to show signs of significant overhaul with the Bristol Dirt Race, Auto Club Speedway’s reconfiguration into a short track and the possibility of a city street course event.
The Next-Gen car is a revolutionary and mostly spec platform with radically different suspension, bodies and tires. The biggest change to the premier division will, of course, come in the form of a new car.
It’s the dawn of a new era in the NASCAR Cup Series.
