knew about that for a little while now, such a shame always thought it was good when it was asphalt; it's luck in it's final dirt years was just flat terrible on the big races - always seemed like it would rain out |

I loved it in NR03... Quite unique. Modifieds champion Donny Lia scored his lone career truck series win at Mansfield. |

To be fair, I don't think I've ever heard an announcement two years in advance. It's usually mid-season before the next. I can see this affecting RCR's #8 promotions, merchandise sales, and what not. |

Kasey Kahne (Evernham/RPM -> Hendrick feat. the Red Bull gap year) and Clint Bowyer (MWR -> SHR feat. the HScott gap year) did it Kurt Busch & Jamie McMurray was originally planned on doing that for 2007, but they got the contracts broken up & started a year early |

But most of those were with everybody involved knowing and agreeing to it, this one not so much. |

I don't know how that race won't be an absolute shit show. The layout has 7 90 degree corners. |

Quote: It is understood that the street course race will replace Road America on the schedule and be run on 2 July. IMSA SportsCar Championship will join NASCAR that weekend in Chicago as a companion event. Oh for FUCKS SAKE NASCAR #fuckyounascarthread Why can't we have nice things that stay around. Also, did they not even pick up the phone to Indycar and ask if they wanted to be a part of this? Surely they tried, weird that they went with IMSA and didn't even try for indycar, or is there more of a story there I'm not hearing bar that NASCAR and INDYCAR still don't get along after all this time |

Same reason why you don't see tracks owned by NASCAR (XYZ oval or XYZ road course - Watkins Glen & Road Atlanta) on their schedule - unless IndyCar rents out the track outright and promotes it themselves (Iowa this weekend) |
