2025 NASCAR Discussion ThreadNASCAR

Watkins Glen in May makes no sense. Switch the race with Sonoma and then switch the off-weekend with that.

Dover losing a points race means you are running the All Star race during the day. Unless there is a plan to install lights at the track it is a baffling decision. I would have taken either Las Vegas or Kansas' 2nd date as the All-Star race than essentially write-off Dover.

Race at North Wilkesboro will be 400 laps (250 miles). Exactly the same as what it was back in 1996 during its last race.

O'Reilly's schedule looks extremely weird. Over an 8 week span in the summer you have a total of 4 races. Why do they have that sort of spacing?

• GP of St. Petersburg tandem event with IndyCar

Lmao. That is beyond unexpected and hella exciting as a local. I have a feeling that 20+ NASCAR Trucks on the St. Pete Street Course will be absolute mayhem, and I'm beyond stoked for it.

As long as MX-5 Cup is also present, and/or we get some form of Regional GT racing (loved it when the IMSA VP Series showed up in 2024), this has the potential the of the best St. Pete Indycar weekends ever in terms of on-track content.

Watkins Glen on Mother's Day sucks, though. Not sure what the thought process is there, as that will likely mean substantially lower-than-average attendance and TV numbers.
