With the added banking speeds would be a concern, cars could go flying on their own

Maybe one to a few cars wouldnt have a problem since the next gen cat is lighter with bigger brakes, but if/when nearly the whole field pits...

Agree 110% they took one of the most distinctive tracks on the circuit where you can run multiple lines and completely ruined it if they were going to do experiment like this they should have took one of the other cookie cutter mile-and-a-half race tracks like Kansas or Kentucky and possibly tried it there and secondly why would you take a track that all the drivers loved and change it it just doesn't make good sense NASCAR continues to make bad bad decisions

Didn’t you hear about the water coming out of track problem? The track was suffering from that type of stress under the roads. It had a fire catch on the roadway from a jet dryer. So they had to redesign with newer materials to prevent problems it had from its first 24 years of operation.

@@debbiebernhardt5406 if they repaved the track in its original configuration they could have addressed these problems just like they did when they changed it to what it is currently this is not the first track with drainage problems or weepers as they call them

@@georgefleming6058 the track aged faster than they liked, so they wanted one to age well.

@@debbiebernhardt5406 doesn't make any difference to me if the racing sucks

yeah stock cars are way safter it will be fine its gonna be like daytona indycars were never gonna work at vegas and indy new and didnt listen to the drivers indy cars are unsafe

Yeah but you could fill a book on Indy car oval tragedies.

That’s Indycar, way way different

And I think that’s one of the big reasons for this change. If you’re gonna be different, having a mini superspeedway would definitely help with promoting the event

Didn’t you notice the issue with water buildup?

@@debbiebernhardt5406 SMI Tracks have had problems with that for Years

@@aldouscoroza where can I get 100 octane gasoline?

You one of the few special ones my friend

An IndyCar race at Atlanta would get someone killed

I feel the same way, I love the old Atlanta but if this new reconfiguration can provide us with good racing then we all win with this change

Really? Nah this is brand new…

@@JettMDK what? You’re crazy.😤

Lol

Almost none of these things will ever happen. - Only having super speedways would kill the the sport, super speedways are entertaining to watch because they’re not the norm, but a season of only pack racing would be a farce. - Restrictor plates (or some kind of bhp restriction) will never go away, speeds are too fast and the danger is too high without them - The most unique shape you’ll ever see on the oval front in NASCAR is Pocono, a triangle. Anything beyond that and you’re basically just on a shitty road course. I could see a square “oval” maaaybe happening, but it would need to be huge to make the racing work in modern Cup cars, and it seems highly unlikely. - Making stock cars like touring or GT cars by adding wings and such would also kill the sport. Drivers would be flat out everywhere, like a poor man’s version of indycar. Stock cars are cool precisely because they don’t generate massive amounts of downforce and you really have to wheel them. Hydraulic jacks could happen one day though! - Toyota will leave NASCAR the day it stops making them money, which is basically when we’ll know the sport is on its death bed. They’re not going anywhere until then. I would love to see more manufacturers involved in the sport, but it certainly won’t be because Toyota pulled out

@@JFein We duh. I understand that it probably won't happen but every time I'm on KZfaq someone is talking about Nascar being terrible and worse then what it was when it started. I'm just thinking about it because it's fun. Will it happen and will it really be that bad if it did? Idk. Just want Nascar to be at it's best like it was in the past but new so people can actually watch and like it and not get bord half way through. Idk. Just asking questions. I do agree with some things.

Well turning every track into I superspeedway or tracks that are meant to create pack racing would be a bad for the sport since no tracks can differentiate itself. It’s okay having superspeedway racing as long as it’s kept as a specialty and not an every week thing. Getting rid of the restrictor plates or now it’s tapered spacers would be good because it would eliminate pack racing and the closeness of cars and prevent less crashes and cars getting airborne but it would never work since NASCAR is all about entertainment. Making each track a different shape would be cool I think, it adds a unique twist and makes tracks stand out more. I think making the cars look more like touring stock cars is good because it resembles a lot more to the production cars (expect for the wings) and touring stocks are usually less aero sensitive so it’s better for racing. And I think getting rid of Toyota would be very bad for NASCAR since Toyota helps expand the sport on an international platform and some of the most popular cars on the road are Toyota or at the very least more relevant than Dodge. Dodge coming back would be great but Toyota has helped promote NASCAR in a big way and it would not do the sport any good getting rid of it.

@@JettMDK OK what is your opinion on turning the cookies cutter tracks into some more short tracks, some super speedways, or just try and bring back tracks of old?

It depends on the situation with some tracks Might need a whole change in its configuration based on attendance or just lack of good racing regardless of the package. Now there are a lot of other factors that play into it like promoting the event correctly or the date and time of race also matter but for some tracks it makes sense. As for bringing back old tracks, if there is enough hype behind bringing a track back to life and it’s still in somewhat decent condition because sometimes bringing back an old track depending on its condition can sometimes cost more than just reconfiguring an existing and stable track

Aka they just want more wrecks and are gonna be inconsistent as fuck about rule enforcement for that Thats the main downside to this all

Been exciting so far plus my guy, my forever #24 Jeff Gordon is back in the booth ❤️

I’m excited to see the new Atlanta Motor Speedway or should I say Superspeedway cause it’s gonna be a great race this weekend I’m a big fan of restrictor plate racing and Superspeedway racing

I’ve been to races at Martinsville, Michigan a few times, Indianapolis, Road America, And Atlanta. Are used to go to the race is at Milwaukee. The best racing was it had at Atlanta by far, I was there in 2002. The racing was very fast in Indianapolis and Michigan. I like the high speed and less restriction on the engines like with the too often utilized restrictor place. Martinsville was great short track racing and Milwaukee was almost ready to host the race I believe with better racing than New Hampshire but the owners that took control of the Milwaukee mile had very little idea what they were doing. I had a roommate and friend that interviewed there for a financial advisor position and was apalled. Atlanta was the best of the “cookie-cutter tracks “but was rather similar to Texas in Charlotte. I’m not sure what type of product they’re going to get with narrower racing surface and I miss the old three and four wide Atlanta lines that they would run. It looks like the best racing is going to be left at Michigan from my local area and now we have the Road America race here. I like the move towards the road courses and I hope that they drop the restrictor plate in Atlanta as soon as possible.

#TALLADEGA SPEEDWAY AND FORD WILL RULES AND CHASE BRISCOE COULD GO BACK TO BACK ?

It’s pretty easy, it’s all about saving money. A lot of the latest repaves since they last so long, tracks don’t have to spend really any money to keep the track race ready. Darlington replaced but it was repaved with pavement that allowed it to age. Todays repaves won’t do that

I'm sure you never complain at work, right?

Why? What’s wrong with short tracks?

@@JettMDK He must be a Russian troll undermining America with ludicrous commments about track configuration

Short tracks with high banking are good. I hate martinville. The hail melon was the most entertaining thing that I’ve witnessed at that track.
