I think FedEx field is down to only 65,000 seats. It would be fun to hear “We have a caution due to raw sewage on turn 3.”

Another thing to consider would be ventilation. with some of the domes I don't think there is enough ventilation for 20+ stock cars and you'd just give a bunch of people carbon monoxide poisoning.

I said this on the video's last upload, so I hope you don't mind if I say it again: For such a quintessentially American sport as NASCAR, who would've thought that Richard Petty (a man so successful that he was dubbed the King of said sport) started his first Cup race in *Canada,* of all places? A country which, fittingly enough, had an _actual_ king only six years before.

5:55 Jake basically saying that water is wet, by saying the Mercedes-Benz Stadium is a work of architecture. Every building is a work of architecture, even public shithouses. He propably meant to say that it was an architectural work of art, but what he says made me laugh anyway lmao

while there are many stadiums in society, we all know which one is the most ultimate… *Dodge Raceway Stadium supremacy.*

RFK tweeted about possibly hosting a race at Fenway. Yes, mostly as a joke, but the thought is there.

Fun Fact: Memorial Stadium in Nebraska's capacity of 87,000 means when it's sold out, it becomes Nebraska's third largest city. And it's sold out every game since 1962. Oh Nebraska, never change.

13:29 I was actually in Las Vegas in early 2018 to see the Pennzoil 400 and I got to see that stadium in construction, what a huge stadium

Even though I’ve already seen this before, I clicked faster than ever. I mean it’s S1apShoes how could I not!

2 S1ap videos in a month? Yes! (Yes I know they are practically a carbon cut copy of each other)

One thing that wasn’t considered was if these stadiums could actually fit some kind of oval or track in general. The coliseum had very tight radius in the turns. Most of these stadium are even worse..... I would have analyzed ability to fit some kind of functional oval before I consider capacity

Very fascinating video as always! As an Indonesian, the Gelora Bung Karno stadium in the capital city of Jakarta would suit well for an international NASCAR stadium race.^^

As far as Maryland goes, how could you miss M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore?! Has a racing history consisting of Monster Jam, and part of the Baltimore Grand Prix. The latter of the two events means NASCAR can also use a road course configuration by way of essentially reviving said Grand Prix if they chose to add support races. Bigger inside than Fedex Field, and easier to add in a track, and this place would be the better bet to bring NASCAR to the Old Line State than the dump out in Landover. Also, Hawaii NEEDS to happen. Preferably as a replacement for the All Star Race.

Nascar should come up north to us Canadians, heck Richard Petty made his debut at the expo stadium in Toronto, we have such an insane short track scene and so many good street courses, I feel it's only a matter of time.... (Speaking in terms of cup)

I've spent no more than 24 hours in Utah, total. I can tell you firsthand it absolutely IS the beehive state. Pulled over on a salt flat because the rental box truck I was driving was smoking. Found the transmission was throwing fluid all over the place. Decided I'd rather be stuck in Salt Lake City than in the middle of nowhere and jumped back in, only to find the truck completely surrounded by a swarm of bees as soon as I shut the door.

War Memorial in Wyoming would be very interesting to watch. As a lifelong Wyoming resident, even I have issues breathing at 7220 feet. People do not take altitude seriously. A lot of first time out of state hunters find that out the hard way and the outcome is deadly. We call them a widows vacation. Drive out in a Yukon and go home in an airlines cargo hold in a cardboard and plywood box.

By the way slap, I just wanted to say something. I don't know if you saw it during the first upload of this video before deletion, but I wanted to say it anyway. 8 months ago I started a build to recreate North Wilkesboro Speedway to a 2/1 scale in Minecraft. I completed it a little while ago now, and I just wanted to say let you know in case you might be interested in seeing it. I doubt this will go anywhere once again, but you miss a million shots you don't take.

One of my dreams is to have a NASCAR Cup Race in Buffalo/Orchard Park, NY if they can't find a spot to build a new track then maybe the Highmark Stadium home of the Bills would be a perfect substitute.

You should consider doing a similar video but about "what's the best venue for NASCAR in Europe?" at some point.

If NASCAR could start over, and the Cup cars would have been much smaller models like the old Goody's Dash Series, this idea could legitimately make the sport more popular that it currently is. Huge cars rumbling around awkwardly on quarter mile stadium tracks is a cool change of pace, but the scale of the cars vs. the track doesn't lend itself to great action. BUT, if the cars were scaled down small models like I'm saying, IMAGINE how popular NASCAR would be! You'd have 40 cars that actually look appropriately sized for the tracks they're racing on, where 3 wide action and more room to pass is a reality, and the entire circuit could be made up of the most famous stadiums in the country, with NASCAR visiting huge urban setting after huge urban setting instead of hour-long drives out into the outskirts of cities like most tracks today. It's too late now (too much financial momentum is built around big cars on huge tracks). But if NASCAR could start all over, I think the most lucrative model would be to have chosen compact model cars, have a few races a year at huge tracks (like the Goody's Dash Series used to do), but have 80% of the races at high profile national stadiums right in the heart of major cities. I have one more idea of how these two formats could be blended. Which is, the Cup Schedule becomes roughly 50-50 between small stadium bullrings, and large high speed tracks. At the larger (more dangerous) facilities, the CUP drivers race the cars they do now. But at the smaller (safer) bullrings, the Cup drivers race compact models made by the same manufacturers they're under contract with. So the scale of the cars to the scale of the track lends to great racing. Plus, it's a better test of stock car driving skill because the champion has to demonstrate not only mastery on different track sizes, but also mastery in different stock car models. I think that blended model would be a huge hit. It'll never happen because NASCAR insists on being less popular than it could be, but that would be amazing.

Said this in the original upload, so I'll repost that comment here: State Farm Stadium could actually theoretically host a NASCAR event, so long as it's dirt, as the stadium has had no issue hosting Monster Jam and AMA Supercross. Another option is Chase Field, home of the MLB's Arizona Diamondbacks, though that would probably have to be a dirt track as well, depending on how NASCAR and Chase Field wants to go about hosting a race there. Coincidentally enough, Chase Field also used to host Monster Jam and AMA Motorcross events.

I think having a "Summer Stadium Series" would b a decent idea. Tale like a 1-2 month break from the main Cup series and have teams compete for a separate championship. That's the only way I would think stadium racing would work: if they were ran as exhibition races or a separate series/championship.

What a collab of some of my fave content creators! Loved it! One thing though: as a Buckeye, why doesn’t the Shoe get love because it’d be “too big” and “too far” from population centers (????) but Happy Valley, which has a larger capacity and in the middle of Appalachia on here?

The "smallest" stadium on you list is actually the only one big enough to hold a quarter mile track like the one in LA.

I appreciate the Kibbie Dome shout out, even though it didn't make the list for seating capacity. I didn't go to U of I, but Moscow was my second home city when i moved in with my then-fiancee who was a student.

I can’t remember where i saw it but, but the LA Coliseum was especially good for this because it’s 100ft longer than most football stadiums. End to end is 525 feet and most other stadiums are only 420ft which wouldn’t make it shorter than 1/4 mile

You said “Wade Davis Stadium” as well as “Starksville” (it’s actually Starkville) and I can’t live that down as a Mississippi State student.

Davis Wade in Starkville, MS would be a very underrated venue for NASCAR! That place would be packed to the gills. A perfect place to race a week or two after the Daytona 500.

The Big House in Michigan, while not my favorite choice, is the most logical. Not far from MIS, Detroit or Detroit Metro airport, huge capacity, plus you can check out the Hudson Hornet museum in nearby Ypsilanti

Love this list. Being from Wisconsin, seeing a nascar race at Lambeau would be awesome. Wisconsin is short track heaven in my opinion. And with nascar no longer going to the Milwaukee mile for truck/ xfinity races for quite a while now, it would be insane. Wouldn’t miss it.

I love the fact that there are other content creators that watch or produce nascar content featured here in this vid. Really do wonder when soundhead will show up on the weekly podcast?

I think Jack Trice would be a better fit for Iowa. Centrally located in the state, major airport hub in Des Moines. Pains me to say it as a Hawkeye but it’s probably the better fit. Also, I also call it the Smurf Turf and everyone looks at me weird when I do it

Nice to see this back

The hardest part of Lambeau field being a nascar track comes in the form of the system used to keep the field from freezing up like the ice bowl. Tickets would be easy sellers but would be sold out in hours given how Road America sells out their campsites meer hours after going on sale.

"I was tempted to put Connecticut's track at the Yale Bowl" Me: "Hell yeah! My back yard! What could possibly be the issue?" "...but that place is as old as dirt." "...yeah. Fair enough."

The 1939 NFL Championship Game between Green Bay and NY was played at the Dairy Bowl, aka State Fair Park aka The Milwaukee Mile. The Start Finish line is lined up with the 50 yard line.

My grandfather has old video footage of Richard Petty and Tiny Lund racing at Ona Speedway in West Virginia back in the 60’s!

I love that the clash was in the Los Angeles and in the coliseum! Being from Los Angeles and born and raised in Southern California the past 28 years…california doesn’t look at nascar like it does football or basketball

The Alabama shade was hilarious! Love it!!

As high-altitude venues go, NASCAR has history with the Pikes Peak International Raceway in Fountain, CO, which hosted the Busch Series as recently as 2005 and is over 5500ft above sea level (above Mile High).

Thanks for the Ona Speedway shoutout, S1ap! If you ever are up this way and want to do a S1ap on location I can make that happen!

EmpLemon didn’t even mention the GatorNationals ALSO IN GAINESVILLE. That’s how fitting a venue the Swamp is.

Great Video S1ap! Seeing Emplemon was awesome!

Recently Auzten Stadium and Matthew Knight Arena have been remodeled to include 5000+ new seats and they're designing a retractable canvas for "The Duck Pond"

Bush Stadium in Indianapolis also had racing. It was first built in 1931 by Norm Perry, owner of the Indianapolis Indians, and was originally named Perry Stadium. I became Victory Field in 1942 due to WWII, a name that the new Indians stadium took when it was built in 1996. It became Bush stadium in 1967, after Indianapolis bought it and leased it back to the Indians. It was named after Indiana native Donnie Bush. When the Indians left Bush, Tony George bought it, renamed it the 16th Street Speedway and ran sprints there. Like anything else Tony touched, it turned to crap, and in 2013, it became an apartment complex, with the lights and much of the facade left intact.

Mile High stadium already hosts the Monster Jam Stadium Series. so it holding a NASCAR venue would be sick.

One problem I have for this list is that most of these stadiums are too small. The Los Angeles Colosseum is longer and larger than your average football field. In fact, at it's max length its 200 yards long horizontally. Lambeau field on the other hand, at its max length, is only 143 yards long horizontally. (Bristol motor speedway sits in at 371 yards horizontally) And a reminder that the coliseum was a cramped event. The colosseum It was not built with American football in mind, but for Olympic level track and field events. I love the idea of playing in a stadium setting, I just think that it's not realistic playing in American football purpose built stadiums. Perhaps track-and-field stadiums (franklin field at philly, or Hayward filed in Oregon) could fill in but for now we need to start either looking international or stick with the LA Colosseum for now.

For Maryland, did you consider M&T Bank Stadium? Better condition, easier to drive to, has a light rail, and an operator who actually might invest in it.

That’s so interesting I never would’ve thought a official NASCAR race track was small enough to fit in a football stadium.

I laughed for most of the video u had me rolling with some of the jabs. Great video

I agree with Kinnick Stadium because of the history of the stadium. Plus, there is the well-known Iowa Wave at Hawkeye games. That is where every single fan, player, and official turn and wave at the children's hospital that sits adjacent to the stadium. If NASCAR came, that would be a first.

If Sun Devil Stadium did get the Clash at some point then it wouldn't be the first time that auto racing has been to the stadium, MTEG ended up going there back in the 90's and had a good amount of attendence (especially for off-road racing at the time)

Mcmahon Stadium, in Calgary Alberta, has a seating cap of 46 020, and was built for the Calgary Stampeders, a CFL team. I would be SO happy if we got NASCAR in Canada, and within only a few hours of where I live, not on the other side of the country. Sadly, the Stampede Grandstands only have 17 000 seats. Blast it!

I would absolutely love to see a NASCAR race at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Got a main-line train that goes straight to the stadium too

as a chicagoan, i'd love to see a race at soldier field. it's in the heart of museum campus, right on the lake, lots of buses will get you there (or pay and arm and leg to park there). if BTS can perform there, so can nascar lol. also great choice with south bend. very popular venue for pretty much chicago, indiana, and southern michigan all at once. the big house is great call too, but ford field in detroit would be a worthy choice as well. loved this list and all the collabs featured here.

Here's one cool thing if NASCAR did decide to race at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, during a segment break, it would be awesome for the drivers to wave to the kids and their families at the Children's Hospital that overlooks the stadium, just like what the Hawkeyes do for their football games.

Nice video, I think a good sequel would be the best oval track in each state (that has one and built for racing) It would be interesting to learn about some tracks that don’t host NASCAR races, and while some tracks are obvious (Talladega, Michigan, etc.) due to only having one state of the art track, some states with two or more tracks, such as Tennessee, Florida, and Virginia, it would be interesting see what you or others think which is the best. Also could do the same for road and street circuits.

For something outside of the States, I'd say the Monza oval is the perfect choice for Italy... once the France family gives us the cash to put it in safety. *Giv' us the moolah, Jim!*

When the Charlotte Knights baseball team built a new stadium in 2014, I had a crazy idea to build a short track in the old stadium. Now that Concord Speedway closed it could have been the only paved track in the immediate Charlotte area.

For the reason why South Bend is named as such from a native Hoosier, it’s located on the southern bend of the St. Joseph River before it turns West towards Lake Michigan.

Aaayy emplemon!! Great crossover, even better content creators

The LA Coliseum only worked because of the excess track/field surface around the football field itself. Most, if not all of the stadiums you mention would end up being too narrow as a 1/4 mile, if you could get a 1/4 mile at all. Fenway and Busch might work as a short, sort of road course. Allegiant Stadium and AT&T Stadium have roll out field systems like State Farm stadium, so how are they any more feasible than State Farm? You want to run a BUSCH CLASH in UTAH?!?! Probably need a different sponsor for that event.

Fun fact about the Hoosier State. Did you know it is upside down? South Bend is in the north, North Vernon is in the south, and French Lick is nothing like how it sounds.

I don't think NASCAR will go under .2 miles. Football stadiums often likely won't cut it. 400m track stadiums will give a guaranteed 1/4 mile. That works for stuff like Franklin Field, PA, Olympic Univerity Stadium in Mexico City, and Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton. Want more? Cricket and AFL ovals will do. Imagine NASCAR in the Sydney Cricket Grounds, the site of the first motor race in Australia, or Perth Stadium, or Adelaide Oval. Eden Park or Sky Stadium in New Zealand, Lord's or The Oval in England, Wanderer's in South Africa, THE ENTIRETY OF INDIA AND SRI-LANKA. Even in the US we have Central Broward Park within half an hour of Miami and just breaking 20,000. Want to go EVEN BIGGER? Horse tracks have pre-graded and laid out tracks of sufficient width between 3/4 and 1 1/2 miles.

Also, McGuire-Dix makes a lot of sense given that New Egypt is a stone's throw away as is Philly.

Historic Memorial Stadium at the University of Illinois seats about 62,000 and still has the footprint of a running track within the field area. The bottom of the stands is really far from the action. This would mean you’d have more room to put in a track though.

17:59 hahaha I’ve been quoting this for years and I’m glad someone still remembers and appreciates it

Fun fact, Greg raced at and won at Portland International Raceway in the truck series.

don't overdo it on the stadiums, we already have one...somebody needs to start a thread on city courses to host races, that's the only thing we haven't tried yet

Legion Field in B’ham is in dire need of a renovation so what better time to build a short track and host a NASCAR event than before a massively needed reno.

TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville would be a better venue I think for a stadium race in FL. Its about 90 min south of Daytona and back in the 50's Jacksonville used to host NASCAR Races. The Stadium can hold nearly 70k fans and is right off of two major Highways with downtown infrastructure to host all those fans. So it would be easy to get to for both teams and fans alike. (In the weeks leading up to the 3 FL races the NASCAR haulers can be seen driving along the highways there.)

I love the cameos. Love all these guys.

As a huge Penn State fan I was so happy that you said happy Valley that would be so sick. Jesus bless y’all.

Real talk though, the Battle at the Beach needs a comeback.

Need to look at accessability for all of the autocarriers and equipment storage, especially in the infield which would be needed for all 40+ entries. And how easy can you also get some of this equipment in and out of the complex?

I was hoping for Neyland for Tennessee and y'all didn't disappoint!

I think it would be cool if you made a video about Dennis Setzer. The guy was basically the Mark Martin of the Truck Series, having finished 2nd three years in a row from 2003-2005 and never winning a championship in his career.

Pretty interesting look at the options. *Now do the UK, Ireland, and Mainland Europe* :D (Just kidding, there's like three stadiums both big enough and mad enough to do it and they're probably all in London)

Great video 👍🏁🏆 can you a video of where NASCAR should do a airport race and street race ?

As a Californian, I actually really hope we get the Clash again in LA. Fontana is great, but I get free Parking at the Coliseum

As cool as a race in the Superdome could be, I really wanna see another race at NOLA Motorsports Park. Indycar tried to race there in 2015, but the event got rained out, so they haven't been back. The venue itself may be a bit small, but I think that the track is really, really nice.

Hear me out. NASCAR TO WRIGLEY

Indiana has a bend at the top of its border from Lake Michigan. That’s why it’s called south bend. Cause it’s south of the bend. Love the videos

Benz stadium, Vegas and bank stadium are PERFECT

The Gundy clip made my day

I like the idea of NASCAR returning to Soldier Field, especially since the Bears are planning to build a brand new state-of-the-art stadium/entertainment complex in Arlington Heights.

10:45 Well that aged like milk GO BLUE BABY WOOO

For Illinois, I would recommend O'Brien Field on the campus of Eastern Illinois University in Charleston. Sure, it can only seat around 10,000 people, but it has an actual running track around it (the Illinois high school track and field championships are held there annually), and there's a bigger NASCAR fanbase downstate than in the Chicago area. A street circuit incorporating Wrigley Field, similar in concept to the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez baseball stadium section in its F1 configuration for the Mexican Grand Prix, would be an interesting idea, although that would probably require an Act of Congress because you'd have to remove parts of the ivy-covered outfield wall for that idea to work.

I am so glad you got UrinatingTree for Pennsylvania! That dude is funny as hell!

8:30 NICE Slap-shoes is a legend

I would love a nascar race at lumen field I live in Washington state born and raised in the Pacific Northwest I’ve been dying to see a nascar race in Seattle hopefully with the La clash being a success hopefully in the future the cup series will come to lumen the loudest freaking stadium on the planet!!

I've gotta say, I'm pleasantly shocked my home state of Delaware made the cut. I figured it had to be UD, but I'm not sure it'd be worth all the logistics of putting it together. I'd be there in a heartbeat if they tried it, though...

I knew state college was gonna be the pick, but as a yinser myself, I really wanted Heinz Field, or whatever it's called now, to host it.

Fun Fact, Legion Field is known as the Gray Lady, not the iron bowl. It is called the iron bowl because back then Birmingham had a booming steel industyry

EmpLemon and Slap is the greatest crossover in yt

I feel that Oracle Park/AT&T Park (Home of the San Francisco Giants) could work if the Coliseum had not been established beforehand.

I see S1ap upload a video and I watch it happily.

I would LOVE to see a race in Allegiant. I'd get my Raiders merch and see a great racing event!

as someone who went to U of I and as been to football games in the Kibbe Dome, i would LOVE to see a race in there, it would be insane
