Conclusion

Each of these five race tracks are worthy of hosting a NASCAR Truck Series race. Thank you to Matt Weaver for his insights and for educating me on what NASCAR seeks from race tracks that want to host Truck Series races.

In order to change the Truck Series schedule, compromises will be needed. TV networks must compromise to accommodate the extra race on their schedule. The race tracks must compromise when their race dates are changed.

To help those race tracks, NASCAR must compromise. Cup Series champion and former Truck Series owner Kevin Harvick suggested that NASCAR should lower the sanctioning fees so that race tracks can afford to host Truck Series races.

The teams must compromise. If the teams ask for another road course race and NASCAR adds another road course to the schedule, the entry list for that race should be substantial.

Finally, the fans should compromise. Fans continually ask for more short track races. If NASCAR adds a short track to the schedule, fans should show their gratitude by attending the race. In turn, drivers should thank the fans with autograph sessions for attending a race at a new track. Fortunately, the racing in the Truck Series is almost always a treat to watch.

The Truck Series schedule features superspeedways such as Daytona International Speedway. The trucks race at 1.5-mile tracks such as Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The drivers bang sheet metal at short tracks such as Martinsville Speedway.

Drivers turn left and right when the Truck Series travels to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. Eldora Speedway adds the uniqueness of dirt track racing. Overall, the Truck Series produces great racing. These five tracks can add more storylines, more excitement, more drama and more enjoyment if NASCAR adds them to the Truck Series schedule.
