Every time NASCAR races on a road course, fans either state how much they hate them or how much they add a different dimension to the Winston Cup schedule. Personally, I wish NASCAR would add a couple of more road races to the schedule and take one of the second race events away from tracks like Loudon, Martinsville, or Pocono.

Even though NASCAR stock cars aren't well suited for the road courses, they still break up the monotony of all the oval races. Besides, with all the recent deaths in the sport, replacing some oval races with road races and short track races would help from a safety standpoint.
