North Wilkesboro, NC -Conversation started over the weekend and grew to 250 rounds of the best races on a short track that the NASCAR Cup fans saw this year.
Is it time for North Wilkesboro to host a point race and move the All-Star race to another venue?
Brad Keselowski suggested this weekend that Nascar does. He said the All-Star race should move to Charlotte Motor Speedway. And then, he says, get rid of the Roval Race.
Ryan Blaney said after the all-Star race of Sunday night that he liked Keselowski’s idea.
But let’s still like the All-Star race.
It has been the second year since a refund. The track expanded on Sunday and the races changed an all-Star Record 18 lead. The track should keep getting better.
“I thought the race was really good tonight,” Kyle Busch told NBC Sports. ‘Lit a good show. There was actually a pass for the lead in the last 30 rounds. “
Busch would like to see the All-Star race stay in North Wildeboro.
“I think that’s fine now,” he said. “Let’s let it well as long as it is.”
So, here’s a thought.
Keep the All-Star race another year in North Wildeboro. Nascar can then give this historic track in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains a point in 2027.
This could enable Nascar to move the All-Star race to Bowman Gray Stadium, giving the track in May the week before the Coca-Cola 600 on Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Nascar can then move the collision of the season to another place, possibly an international destination. With no racing before the collision and a weekend between IT and the Daytona 500, Nascar would have the flexibility to move the collision outside the United States, wants to do an officials of the draft.
Making this change in 2027 gives Nascar an extra year to find out which track would lose a point race to North Wilde Wilkesboro. At this point, a lot of work has already gone in the next year’s schedule.
Let’s be honest, a short track must offer the All-Star Race. The fans are close to the track and offer an energy and atmosphere that is more difficult for larger traces to repeat, even with more people on the plots.
The All-Star Race is about energy. Drivers are introduced to fans while playing a DJ music and flames, Skyward shoots. In Northern Wildeboro, drivers and their pit staff walk to the plots, many fans and throw hats in the crowd.
Northern Wilkesboro is legendary for his fan interaction, whether it were fans throwing chicken legs after they finished eating local hero Junior Johnson’s drivers.
“Man, they’re coming up, and it’s just absolutely incredible,” said Christopher Bell, the all-Star Race winner, of the Northern Wilkesboro crowd.
“We’re going out for the driver’s intros and the place was packed. … We need more events like this, more race like this. I love to revive this racetrack, and now, with Rockingham, he has revived and had an incredible XFinity race. I just think going to different racing trays, it’s the key to success.
“You can’t just beat the same racetrack over and over and go to them twice a year. I think you will diversify the schedule, come where we go to each room once a year, and I think you will see the crowd and have an incredible electricity through the race.
Imagine how it can be for a point race.
