They've got a couple road races each year and there is talk of adding a 3rd. Some fans like them, others find it horrendously boring since passing is extremely difficult on those tracks, among other problems. I've had an idea for a bit of a compromise though: a kinda boomerang shaped track. Make it roughly 2 miles in length, have high banks in the 'main' turns at the two ends, then moderate banking at the 'mid turns'. It would be far more interesting than adding another mile and a half oval to the series.

Not so much driver oriented. A team with more than one driver. Maybe like 3 drivers for one team. Superspeedway, short track, road coarse, who's the best driver for the track. Yes and have more road coarse races. When the TV hype calls a race car driver a hero, that makes me barf. And I also think that ESPN stinks. It used to be real good back in the 90's. Just some crazy thoughts of mine.
Most teams have at least 2 drivers, the majority have 3 and the top ones have 4.
