Nascar is trying some pretty ballsy things to revive the sport. And they say its helping. More road courses and some dirt racing. Less of the 1.5 mile ovals. Plus the next gen car is going to be better for the racing.
They actually did a dirt race ! Cup cars on dirt at Bristol. They covered the concrete track with dirt. They've been talking about this but they finally did it 3 months ago. I'd to see the cars set up a little looser and going more sideways but they are still over steering
