Reason #3 – It would make the weekend more affordable for fans

Of course, not all NASCAR fans are the same. Some will travel all across the country to attend a race and make an entire week of the racing while others choose to only go to the racing on Sunday and go home after. Either way, moving the Cup Series to Saturday would allow fans to save money on food and overnight stay costs.

Instead of needing to make weekend plans that consist of three days of meals, fans would only need to prepare for two. Also, only one night of camping or staying in a hotel would cover all of their needs. This would save fans an entire day of meals and sleeping accommodations, which can be the difference between a fan bringing their family with them or choosing to fly solo.

Of course, the businesses surrounding the tracks would prefer people to choose two nights of hotel room usage as opposed to just one. More than likely, as long as the tracks were to keep their Saturday evening festivities on Saturday night, this could keep people in town a little longer.
