Oh NO!
There's basically NO auto racing anywhere in the country this year, but I don't see where they said anything about drag racing in the article. Joliet started out as a 1/4 mile track, it was later that the circle track was built. A buddy lives a few miles South of the track.

The Brickyard 400 will be held on @ims' road course for the first time in '21 as part of NASCAR Cup/IndyCar doubleheader in mid August.

I think Nascar has missed the boat. They needed bigger race tracks with unlimited cars. Let them race again with the fastest and best endurance cars. Move the invention bar up some. Maybe a 4 mile track (1000 miles) and get speeds over 300 mph and no races within a race. Let other types of technologies like electric, hybrids and cell types. Now that would be entertainment.

I think they should go back to what was going on in the late 60's and early 70's in regards to cars. Factory bodies. None of this cookie cutter stuff with a mfg decal slapped on the body and call it a "ford" or "chevy". MFG has to make say 1,000 cars of this type, with the motor that they will run on the track. Allow the NASCAR teams to put in a safety "pod" in the car to protect the driver, but leave basically leave the suspension alone with minor tweaks.
I think it would be a boost to many different industries.

They built to many tracks when NASCAR was bigger then built all the same 1.5 miles tracks so they could pull IRL in also can’t blame for wanting more seats but IMO they should of built short tracks they already had plenty big tracks and most of those had 2 races already.
I’m sure there will be others coming soon

Based what IMS released today, there will be an IndyCar road race to support the Brickyard. But both are to be in mid aug. The date could be a big mistake.

Friends of my wife just found out that the tickets they purchased for the 2021 Chicagoland NASCAR race are non-refundable but they can use it toward the purchase of tickets to another race elsewhere.
That sucks!

No road course race is considered a Crown Jewel. Doesn't matter if its NASCAR or IndyCar. American racing is ovals as far as I am concerned. |

Well Bristol on dirt should be interesting.
