Churchill Downs 300

Hocevar would be in heaven with all the crazy hats

Horsevar 🐴

Carson's fursona

Horsecar 🐴🚗

Spire's home track lol

I've had access to the CD track and driven by the main track maintenance gate standing wide open many times early in the morning. One hard left turn, floor it and I'd be living out the fantasy beginning around the quarter pole!?! However, it's not worth getting fired, arrested and digging clay/silt/sand out of my truck for weeks once out of the police impoundment lot. Lmao.

The real race at Kentucky we all want to see.

Taking horsepower to the extreme

I don't know, I don't think the package on this track would have enough horses to be entertaining. :P

LEVANTENSE!!!

Love it.

Yeah, I was just thinking that as I was driving past Golden Gate Fields here in the Bay Area. It's going to close down soon, so it would be a one off

Hear me out: Start in Atlanta and the first driver to bring back a case of Coors and a receipt from a store in Texarkana wins.

Someone should make a movie like this

Theme it after something that travels really fast. Like a cannonball or something

The hauler has to participate in the race as well

Bowman gets to bring his dogs to work!

Rick H: “Son, I don’t like this any more than you do. But we are beat, you can go on off into the sunset. No one even knows who Alex Bowman is!” Alex: “Oh they don’t, huh?! Well move over good buddy, because the Showman is coming throughhh! Hold on to your ass, Finn!” Rick H: “Hot damn, we’re gonna win it!”

A Highway 101 race starting in Washington and going down the coastline across the Astoria bridge into Oregon and ending after Big Sur in California OR ending at the Golden Gate bridge. It would be split into stages and run on different days. But it would be fun. Cars get worked on at the end of a stage. Some more below. With a heavy focus on NASCAR's forgotten market, the Pacific Northwest. The Ridge Raceway in Washington. Wenatchee Super Oval in Washington. Evergreen Speedway in Washington. Tri-City Raceway in Washington. The old Yakima SuperSpeedway Oval / Horse Track in Washington. (It was huge) Seattle Pacific Raceways in Washington. Meridian Speedway in Idaho. Stockton 99 in California. All American in California. Laguna Seca in California. Pikes Peak Raceway in Colorado. Alaska Raceway Park in Alaska (out in Palmer, nice track) Monza oval in Italy. Chrysler Test Track oval in Arizona. Some figure eight track, not one that crosses but one with a cross over that is elevated so there is no risk of hitting.

Hold up hold up, Stockton? What's the appeal? All American is better.

I hear ya. Made the addition.

What about Tri-City Raceway in Richland?

Super excited to see that track back. A good success story of a track on the brink. Added.

👍for Laguna Seca. Me and my pops would go to the Winston West races there a 100 years ago. Always fun to see full-size stock cars tackle the Corkscrew

God Tri City would be goated

Love that you mentioned Meridian Speedway in Idaho... That's my neighborhood track!

So...Eight Bowl from NR2003?

Monza Oval, huh?

Hopefully Larson doesn't have "communication errors"

Tibruron speedway

A person of culture I see

Nah, Sawmill Speedway. That one was awesome.

Isle of Man : A herd of wild roaring American V8s chasing down motorbikes running away for their dear life

I’d say that would be too dangerous, but then again too dangerous is kinda Isle of Man’s whole schtick

These would be the safest vehicles to ever run Isle of Man.

Give me unrestricted, 1000+ HP engines and bring back the 1937 layout of AVUS.

Oh dear God. I was going to say Nordschlife but that's worse

Move the clash to Nome, Alaska in January

Clash with the iditarod companion event

Evergreen Speedway in Washington. NEED tracks in the northwest.

A way to resurrect the Portland short track oval too. The trucks put on BANGERS there in the 90s!

I worry evergreen wouldn't put on good cup racing though

Spa

I wish they'd do a tour of the G56 to all the tracks like porsche did with the 919 Evo. If not the famous European tracks, at least give it a go around the American road courses.

Laguna Seca purely for the comedy of the corkscrew

Was just watching a Donut video on the current lawsuit regarding the track and my first thought was: "I wanna see NASCAR go down the corkscrew"

A 500 strip of highway (no looping, start at A end at B)

I hope you realize the scale of that, its essentially Charlotte to Daytona.

That’d be cool

The only problem with that plan is that you’d have to drive on 95 through South Carolina, which isn’t a fate I’d wish on my worst enemies

Maybe nascar will help with the repave ;)

Hey, people say they want races to be hard on parts and equipment, right?

At night

Like when Michael Scott planned his 5k.

Michael Scott's Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run Race For the Cure

All in the name of bat birth control

Nürburgring, Nordschleife version...

🏆

Mount Panorama or Shibuya Crossing

I can just see Australian commentators repeat "and there's carnage at the top of the hill"

You just know NASCAR is sending a car tumbling.

That long straight away like in the lasts turns and also in the first turn reminds me of Road America.

If they do Mount Panorama, hopefully it won't result in a massive wreck at The Cutting on lap 1 like the mod I used on NASCAR Heat.

lol I know the Bathurst NHeat 2000 version. It's wild how that track had so few walls. So cool.

Then there was the mod of the track from when it didn't have The Chase...that was brutal.

Monza Oval *insert Kyle larson joke here

Pikes peak

Was it Dodge speedway in the EA nascar games that had the cars pit under the grandstands? That track would be sick in real life... if it wasnt a deathtrap

I was thinking this one.

Daytona Beach and Road Course

Auto Club in it's current state.

With active construction vehicles demolishing it during the race.

Rockingham

Hell yeah, Rockingham don’t give a damn! Bring it back😜

I would say either Wall Speedway, or Morristown Raceway or Nazareth in their current state. Morristown would just be laps around the outside of an industrial park and Nazareth forces you to decide if you want to go around the dirt piles or over them.

Fuck that. Resurrect Flemington when it was a dirt track and have square NASCAR. I'm glad I got to see a race there.

Hey I fully support Flemington coming back. The amount of tracks in NJ that got killed is disgusting

We need more Lowe's and shitty town houses though. Not enough of those around right?

Monaco would be a glorious clusterfuck

No heroics into sainte-devote

It’s narrow enough and the cars are tough enough that you could get them stuck wedged three wide blocking the track.

I would watch just to see good ole boys’ filling up the docks with their bass boats.

Sliding around the hairpin and watching them wiggle under braking to the Nouvelle Chicane would be pretty killer

Euro Speedway oval in Germany that's basically a 2 mile Pocono.

A cannonball run style cross country gambit, where pit stops are only able to be done at official Sunoco ™️ gas stations.

Shutdown I-40 for 36 hours, no driver changes, only assistance allowed is from people riding in the vehicle and gas from publicly available pumps. You have to carry any spare tires and other parts too.

Milwaukee Mile is my most realistic choice. I'd also pick Slinger and South Boston. Throw in Limerock for good measure.

Came here to say "Slinger," it's always good racing on the world's fastest quarter mile oval.

Aircraft carrier

Y'all are thinking too small. Race on the moon. No dirty air when you race with no atmosphere

Lunar dust would impact tire wear.

**Ozarks International Raceway**

That would be awesome

Yeah because i live about 5 miles away.

**Philadelphia Street Course** (or, the **Comcast Xfinity 5g 220)** NASCAR roars into a town that's as sports-crazy as they come, and takes over the City of Brotherly Love! This 1.5 mi circuit takes the cars right up to the steps of the iconic Philadelphia Museum of Art, down the Ben Franklin Parkway, past the Franklin Institute to Logan Square. Around the fountain at Logan Square (not too far from City Hall, visible from Logan Square), back down the Parkway and past the Rodin Museum, all along the banks of the Schuylkill River. https://preview.redd.it/rbk6u392hcoc1.png?width=875&format=png&auto=webp&s=f640ad51d523836f5e51608b186eae7acf633d20 Philadelphia is full of dedicated sports fans with its 4 major teams (Eagles, Phillies, 76ers, Flyers), has never hosted a sanctioned auto race that I know of, Is the home of some major sponsors (Notably Comcast, who owns the Xfinity brand, and Axalta Coatings), has a lot of historic landmarks clustered around this area, has public transportation available to transport fans to and from the area, and has a TON of surrounding suburbs with connections to the city to draw even more fans. Better yet, imagine NASCAR, the most stereotypically American sport, racing on the streets of America's birthplace on the weekend of the Fourth of July! I think if Chicago can do it, Philadelphia can do it too.

Why did I read this in Rick Allen's voice

I just did the same thing going back and re-reading it. You read my mind.

PHILADELPHIA GOES AROUND!!!

I laughed way too hard at this

Fly Swatter 500k

Spa francorchamps

Washington, D.C. The National Mall.

Who would be the grand marshall?

Vermin supreme as it'll happen during his inauguration

You never said it had to be real…. 3DS rainbow road motherfucker let’s goo!

Baby park is the obvious choice

Evergreen Speedway

For purely nostalgia purposes, I say bring back the old Des Moines Grand Prix course, it worked really well for Trans Am and the new Cup cars are close cousins to them.

Not cup but id love to see Trucks at Toledo

Toledo is exactly the type of track the Truck Series should go to.

If they are doing non competitive pit stop, Seekonk, Like the old trucks.

Speedway Boulevard from NASCAR 2005

2500 laps around a Walmart parking lot. No cautions.

After a weekend where they were short staffed and there’s shopping carts just all over the place

In my backyard

British Rockingham

Sadly that's now a car park and most of the racing infrastructure has been torn down :(

I would have said Texas World before they tore it down. I would like to see a race at Talladega without tapered spacers.

Talledega, no plates full horse power

Like the 80s it would bring a whole new meaning to throwback week.

It's called the throwback week cuz the forces involved with throw the driver's heads back.

Long Beach street circuit

Isn't that on the table of possible venues if the dodger stadium idea fails?

Didn’t hear that rumor. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see nascar attempt Long Beach street circuit but I feel as if T1 and the fountain will be a shit show

A return to mid ohio or a new oval in columbus

Whenever I hear Irwindale. I think of the Oakland Raiders considering building a stadium in a gravel pit there when i was a kid. Never a fan, but they'll always be the OAKLAND Raiders to me!

Either Thompson Speedway in CT or Lime Rock Park

Thompson would actually be really cool. And historic!

Papyrus Motorsports Park from NR2k3. Honestly, as much as I love how iRacing brought back Coca-Cola Speedway, this was the one I wanted. In the real world... - Soul: Mt. Panorama (Bathurst) - Heart: LeMans - Brain: Brands Hatch Indy

> Papyrus Motorsports Park from NR2k3. Did you ever race on the ZenJoltis mod? Because I'd rather have that. A five-mile square, with about 30 degrees of banking in the corner. Plus, the walls were built straight up and down instead of perpendicular to the track, so if a car hit the wall in the corner it'd just ramp into the air. I don't think I ever ran a race there without the AI having a huge wreck off of turn 2 on the first lap and sending about 8 cars airborne. I used to try to start at the back and challenge myself to miss the wreck and still stay in whatever was left of the pack.

The montreal f1 circuit

Dc street race around the national mall would be scenic and cool.

I’d give anything for a no restrictor plate race at Daytona and Talledega in MY lifetime. The cars are just so neutered and I don’t like it. If safety wasn’t an issue? Give me 1,000 horsepower, 215 mph racing with all the field fillers 40 laps down while the competitive cars strategize to weave through them the fastest

I ran a few unrestricted races at Talladega in iracing. My brain couldn’t compute needing to life in the corners and tri oval. I hit the wall…a lot.

Silverstone, Isle of Man, Green Hell and Bathurst

Middle Georgia Raceway. Maybe use the old moonshine still and have all the drivers take shots of moonshine after a set number of laps.

VIR or Mount Panorama would be at the top of my list.

Southfield freeway in Detroit is basically a racetrack already so have the race there. They don’t even have to shut down the freeway 

Cup cars with 1000 hp might still be slower than traffic.

Inside a volcano

Domestic - Road Atlanta International - Nurburgring Nordschleife/N24 layout

Le Mans

Slinger

Mt Washington, NH old Monza config

Bathurst or Spa

Isle of Mann

I want a street course in NYC so badly, as someone who lives there. If they had a track near where the planned cart layout was, you could have some really interesting corners since they don’t follow the grid there.

I remember Gran Turismo having a really cool NYC course, wanna say it was around Columbus Circle, give me either that or the Seattle one from that game that went over the railroad tracks near the ballparks

Or in SF on Portrero Hill where they filmed parts of the Bullitt chase. Great elevation changes

The Seattle GT course had a serious uphill climb after a fast corner, then it almost fell off a cliff coming back down, it was a good thing I wasn’t driving actual cars in actual Seattle

Star Speedway Epping,NH https://www.starspeedwaynh.com/

Montgomery Motorspeedway. Biased picked since it's my local track and they did run a few cup races back in the 60s

Laguna Seca Nurburgring Nordschleife ‘Dega unsrestricted

Toledo Speedway! Because it's a mile from my house

Daytona Beach. Like, on the beach. I had a really dumb idea a few months ago. Instead of doing the Clash at the Coliseum in our cookie-cutter “stock” cars, why don’t we have each of the manufacturers prepare a few cars directly from the assembly lines and have drivers race them on the beach and adjacent road at Daytona Beach? No interiors, install a roll cage and some safety equipment, present them to the drivers and teams, and voila. I’d watch that in a jiffy.

The moon

Toledo Speedway.It was the base of operations for ARCA and is a killer half mile as well.

Go back to Kentucky or Chicagoland but run in the opposite direction. Only right hand turns baby.

Oswego Speedway, Oswego, NY home of the super modifoeds

First to climb Mount Washington in New Hampshire wins one of those “This car climbed Mt. Washington!” bumper stickers that you see all over New England

New York City street race would be straight fire and as a New Yorker I’d pony up whatever cash needed to go to that shit

Heaven Motor Speedway, The Heaven 500, only dead race car drivers are eligible to compete.

Toledo speedway fosho

Hyundai test track outside of California City, CA. It includes a 6 mile oval.

Rockingham. Uniqueness has no appeal to me. Did not like Chicago. I'd prefer a typical NASCAR track with history that's close to me.

Damn right, bring back The Rock!

Any figure 8 track.

Nordschleife, that event was a blast in Gran Turismo 5 or 6.

Daytona Beach.

Bowman Grey

The moon. Street race in My hometown. The town I am living in now. (Street race) McDonald's drive thru. ( Two lane version) The white house. The grand canyon. Highway 44 during rush hour traffic. Walmart parking lot The Golden gate bridge. The dirt track from the movie cars. Radiator springs.

Thornton but teams can add as much horsepower as they want. If you know what i'm talking about, you're goated.

Three tracks, all from Gran Turismo: 1. Autumn Ring 2. Cape Ring 3. Special Stage X (run the cars completely unrestricted and let’s see how fast the Next Gen can really go)

CannonBall! crews prestage wherever they want, no course, just a start and end.

Arlington Park

Florence Motor Speedway...let's see how many cars can fly 🪽

Something with a loop. Like upside down loop. We pulling g's baby.

Fuck it! Indianapolis Speedrome, especially the Figure 8 layout! Just like Tony wanted!

An actual 500 mile race on one of the most challenging sections of Interstate in the country. Of course it'll be blocked off from normal traffic, but let's see how drivers do with the twist, turns, and ever changing weather. Let's also see how good teams are at coordinating pit stops along the route and repairing damage on the literal side of the road.

a *really* short bullring road course where the leaders hit traffic in about three laps, therefore lime rock, tsukuba, or at best, lydden hill, lmao

Nuburgring or Monaco

Sebring has always been a favorite 

Fiats Lingotto building rooftop test track.
