Yup I agree that the Coliseum was a horrible idea and rotating different historic tracks could be a cool throwback to NASCAR roots. I'm sure that they will screw it up somehow though.That was much better last night, they should just keep doing the Clash there from now on, or maybe rotate different historic short tracks every year. The LA Coliseum race was a ridiculous idea.
Probably so. Thought I heard someone throw out Brazil last night as a potential place they would run it. I am completely against that for the Clash. Now if they want to add an exhibition race such as when NASCAR went to Japan at the Suzuka Circuit in the 90s after the season, then I am fine with that for another opportunity to watch racing. Just don't screw up the Clash.Yup I agree that the Coliseum was a horrible idea and rotating different historic tracks could be a cool throwback to NASCAR roots.

I hadn't heard that but what is funny was I started to put they would take it to another country in my previous post but thought "No even NASCAR isn't that stupid"....I stand corrected. 🤣Probably so.

Completely agree. This was always such a fun time to be a NASCAR fan. Always had the shootout and qualifying the next day Sunday. Later in the week the IROC race, Twin 125s. Shortening it ruins the fan experience. I'm not buying the costs/saving money issue as much as NASCAR is going to different venues, traveling to Mexico and rumors of the clash in Brazil as a possibility. The potential of rain out you mention by pushing everything later in the week is an absolutely fair point.It’s disheartening that NASCAR completely sabotaged speed weeks by shrinking it. There is going to be a year that rain sweeps through Daytona on Wednesday and Thursday thus ruining the short week NASCAR settled on.
