I just read that the 2 Nascar Cup races on the Atlanta trackhas been reduced to 1. The only Cup race scheduled on the Atlanta track next yearwill be the September Labor Day weekend race. The new Nascar Cup race replacing the March Atlanta race will be on the Kentucky track. The owner of the Atlanta track is Bruton Smith............the owner of the Kentucky track is Bruton Smith. I can't help but believe that this move is more for thefinancial benefit of the track owner than any benefit to the fans. The Darlington races were reduced from 2 to 1, now the Atlanta racesare being reduced from 2 to 1. Many of the most enjoyable races on other tracks have been reduced to 0 & replaced by races on such sleep-inducing tracks as Fontana, etc...................and Nascar wonders why they are losing fans

No Comment at this time from me. I'll have to consider all the deep feelings I have about what happened to Darlington and to the Atlanta track. You'll hear from me.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

I hate this!! Now I can only go to one race a year now!! And plus, I dont see why they dont take one or both Fontana races away. At the February race, they only had something like 43,000 people. Thats bad.

The Boyz are playing a board game. Ryan Newman and Denny Hamlin know what the rules are .....nowWho ever decided to take Darlington's Labor day slot was smoking crackBrutus Smith and others do not believe in building the community but would rather go to where the money is. Any one who has been to North Wilkesboro or Rockingham knows that they need help but again "The Boyz" do not see it that way.
