Why does NASCAR take a week off in the middle of July? Do they really need
two weeks to get ready for Indianapolis? Just bring the same car you used
at Pocono and it will be just fine.

They should be racing in July and take more weeks off in November.

they need the extra week to find some tars that last more than 3 laps.

I agree with you. I don't think that got this
tire issue solved satisfactorily. It will be
interesting to see what kind of turnout they
get this year.

No use being a millionaire if you can't duck off for a summer break ever

Monday through Thursday are not enough every week?

they got close to 25 laps

Expense damages participatory sports. Repetition and the resultant boredom
kill spectator sports.

That's at least a reasonable distance. Tires used to never last a fuel run
at Rockingham or Darlington either.
