NASCAR to Iowa next year will be fun, this was also a fun episode
I NEED THE SCHEDULE. PLSSSS
As a fan from phoenix raceway who attends both the march and November race each year. It sells out yearly. Packed! And we love the racing there! Hope it and the championship stays for long years to come.
Don't shorten the schedule!
Personal preference, but PLEASE CUT OFF or atleast turn down the music when people are speaking for the next part
Thabk you for finally giving Iowa a cup date. Don't abandon the idea to go to Canada with Montreal or Canadian Tire though. Canada 🇨🇦 should definitely have a cup race.
No more spacing please🙏🏻, don't need anticipation!
Just a thought don’t take too seriously. Imagine running most of the same tracks and some new road courses, street course at new locations in between. Then once we hit playoffs. All the playoffs races except for 3 are outside of the USA in another country or all playoff races are in USA expect for 3. Would also love to see nascar run the newest Las Vegas street course.
I loved this, if it was live, I'm bummed I missed that, but love the conversation.
Bell looks like he is 12
You guys take so long to put it out I forgot you even had a schedule.
Not returning to road america, the best road course in america, is a mistake, also not racing at the oldest operating race track in the country is a mistake, the Milwaukee mile
Enjoyed that conversation immensely.
Will be interesting to see where we go from here.

As a Canadian, if possible I would love to see you guys go to a short track over hear with or without the pinty's series
It would be sweet if we built a new oval in Canada
Why wasn’t Dale Jr at this discussion?
John Probst is the Reason we have those junk cars we should should change the name of Nascar to NESCAR National European sports car association racing cause we now have sports car junk.
I find intresting this idea of alternate tracks yearly, could be done in NashVille with the FairGrounds and the SuperSpeedway
Steve has put together a good show here, please keep doing this, it's very nice to hear from these types of people who are so ingrained in the sport's culture and future.
Would be nice if that background music wasn’t so loud
Where is the 2024 schedule?
A really good watch, feel like it’s lots of hints for the schedule coming out on Wednesday
Get rid of the background music
Fixing the schedule is simple, but will never happen:
Schedule needs to be reduced to 30 races at 30 tracks (eliminate the exhibitions).
Season must end by the end of September to get away from football.
Get rid of the 'playoffs'. Most points is the champion (the way it's done in every racing series around the world…)
🔥👍
William Byron & Christopher Bell both started at KBM. RIP Kyle Busch Motorsports 2010-2023
A Toronto Street Race would be so much more exciting than a return to Circuit Gilles Villenueve, that would be the best long term solution for a Canadian race
The Music is BS…
The weather is the only reason Chicago turn out good…otherwise it would of been a boring race…
Watkins Glen would be a great playoff race.
Was the bath and bodyworks background music needed?
I can’t believe Iowa
hate that you had BG music throughout. I know you did it for editing reasons, or rather to hide your cuts, but it coulda been toned down and not so loud
I don't care that much about schedule changes, but I love what I heard here. I just want NASCAR to have 3 races in the Round of 4 instead of just 1. All the other rounds have 3 races! Consistency over multiple races should decide winners of every round. Why decide the champ by performance at one track that isn't very prestigious to fans or drivers? The Round of 4 races should be at either Phoenix, Kansas, Charlotte, Darlington, or Homestead. Bristol, Watkins Glen, or Sonoma can be rotated in for better diversity once the short track and road course packages are fixed. Indy oval can be too if it puts on a great show. Maybe 800 – 900 HP at road courses and short tracks would help make racing exciting there again. All I think I want is a redesigned Round of 4 and a horsepower boost. It still feels odd that Homestead is not the final race.
I will say this,
If there is a larger emphasis on going to tracks once, bring back full practice sessions. Let the race weekend be a big event for the community. Let people visit the garage area all weekend. It needs to be a bigger event per track if they limit to only one event per track.
My other comment is that I love the longer 500 mile races. I wait all week and Nascar is the highlight of my week. It isnt like football where I can watch games all day. There is one race and its a bit of a bummer when its short.
Let them go to a track once a season, but if you do, make it a spectacle.
Post season international exhibitions are an awesome idea too. Does anybody remember Suzuka speedway?
This is dope but I feel like the music while they are talking is so distracting lol
