Should NASCAR Begin Racing On More Road Circuits?

Many of the 1.5-mile oval tracks on NASCAR’s schedule have an unfortunate nickname: “cookie cutter.” They’re not known for the most interesting racing in the world. However, most do have an alternate, often unique road course layout that other series use. Why doesn’t NASCAR race there instead?

Some kind soul at NASCAR may share our disdain for racing at the same track in different towns over and over again, as A.J. Allmendinger just tested on Charlotte Motor Speedway’s 2.3-mile road course, per Motorsport.com.

Should Formula 1 be racing on big ovals?

To each their own.

Yes to Road courses with Nascar. This would make it a whole lot more interesting. Further I wish they would race on the original beach course at Daytona.

No to more road courses for NASCAR. Bad for the "show."

What leaves me cold about NASCAR is the oval racing. I'm not implying there is no skill involved, but footage is boring as hell to watch.

I'd also love for them to make the cars much more stock-based than the tube-framed cars with decals to pretend they are a Camry or a Fusion.
