Busch cars in Mexico.

I too hate to see Nascar go in this direction.I gotta say though it was a good race last year and I'll watch it. MLB, NFL, NHL all have teams based in Canada but people don't really even notice because Canada is more like America Lite.I agree that the cars need to remain of American origin and so should the racing.One of the main reasons Nascar decided to do this is because folks down there love it and there are some great Mexican/Hispanic drivers.

What Nascar needs to do is stop building all these generic 1.5 mile tracks.We already had good tracks of that size in Atlanta and Charlotte.
They shoulda stopped that trend after Texas.Nascar needs to bring its focus back to quality racing.If they don't they will start to see more empty seats in the stands.

I did not watch the race but loved it years ago when the Circle track boys ran a road course - THAT is racing. Don't get me wrong, 160+ on a left is nice but 180 on a straightaway ending with a 45mph hairpin is the cat's nuts...

The Cup guys have been racing at Sears Point in Sonoma Ca and Watkins Glen in NY for quite a few years.I love watching the road course races too.

Btw the Busch race is today.
