Autoweek article

 

According to the article one of the standard texas motor speedway weekends is going to be replaced with a weekend at COTA and TMS will be hosting the All Star Race.

I went to V8 supercars there in 2013 and it was an AMAZING SHOW.

I am so excited to go see this in person!!

It was called NASCAR Grand National back then - 1956. The Xfinity guys run there currently though.

I'll be marshaling that event for sure. I enjoyed supercars there. Turn 15 for nascar should be interesting.

NASCAR on the Daytona road course this summer was entertaining--good, close racing.

The more Australian V8 supercar in NASCAR, the better if you ask me.

Ideal support series: something from IMSA.

Talking modern day Cup to be clear.  The Xfinity cars are a blast to watch at RA, and the Cup cars would just add to that.  Plus, it’s my childhood home track!

Champcar 3 hour races would be awesome!

IMHO NASCAR is making a lot of really smart moves.  I believe this is a result (at least in part) because Jim France has risen to the top leadership spot.

With the new car coming in 2022 I see NASCAR and IMSA looking more and more alike and even possibly sharing some race weekends.

Jim was Brian's boss ever since Bill jr passed away.
