My favorite racetrack is Watkins Glen because it's a fast road course and NASCAR is very entertaining there. I can't remember the last time there was a bad NASCAR race at the Glen. My least favorite track is a tie between Bristol and Pocono and Sonoma and Cota. I'm not a fan of Bristol because the racing isn't all that entertaining. Pocono is just flat (no pun intended) out boring, long draft lines and if you get out of line your done for. Sonoma is just too many curves and it has tiny straightaways and I'm sure it's a pain for the drivers. COTA is just too slow and has too many hairpins F1 at COTA is the bomb but NASCAR is just lame. What's your most favorite and least favorite tracks? (Doesn't have to be NASCAR)

So "new" Bristol isn't what it used to be but the fall race this year was a pretty good event...possibly due to all the misfortune at the front of the field.  

Least favorite track...probably NJMP, but a day at the track is better than a day work.  Favorite is hard to choose.  Love Daytona, love Sebring (it was the "home" track), love VIR (the new "home" track), love Spa and Suzuka (though I've never been).  Kansas has incredible facilities and is very nice, but the racing (on the road course) isn't great.  

You might be the only NASCAR fan that dislikes Bristol and Sonoma.

Never driven it, but I've always been captivated by the Mt. Panorama Circuit in Australia. 

Don't have a least favorite, but probably one of those parking lot tracks made up of concrete barriers.

There's a permanent track in a parking lot in France

I wonder how parking works when the track isn't in use

I'll keep it to places I've driven. Road America has to be my favorite. Long and lots of varied corners, good sight lines. I did not like Mid Ohio at all. Can't see where I'm going, never felt confident.
