It'll be interesting to see how it goes.

Rockingham needed repaving decades ago, but the Truck Series still raced there about 6 years ago. It was a fun race to watch on TV. If they had done it again the next year, I'd have went to see that race live. I attended Lollapalooza 1996 at Rockingham and all the pavement was pretty busted up: track, parking lot, walkways and so on. I think the main problems for Rockingham and North Wilkesboro are the limited access by road, for parking and for accommodations like hotel rooms. I know that Dale Jr. was working with a group to try to rejuvenate North Wilkesboro, but haven't heard any updates in quite a while. I'd love to see NASCAR move back to the smaller tracks, even just for Trucks and NXS. But all the 1.5 mile tracks are changing up the format somehow. I like what Atlanta has planned and is building and I hope it leads to better racing there. If Miami wants to keep a race, they might need to consider a similar change. However, the change at Phoenix hasn't really panned out IMO. The racing hasn't changed at all and is still only exciting on re-starts. Anyway, I do like the changes that the tracks are making to keep NASCAR interested. I also like the variety of tracks that NASCAR has added to the schedule lately. I've been saying for years that NASCAR needs more road courses and less 1.5-mile tracks. I also wanted more short tracks and NASCAR is starting to do that too.
I can't wait to see the results of the ATL track test in a week or so. I'm sure there are some tire tests for the new car coming up as well, but I haven't heard anything about them so far. Goodyear HAS to get some info on their tires with the new cars at various tracks. Otherwise, it's a crapshoot and this new car could flounder really fast. NASCAR needs it to be a hit with the fans.

Here not only to bump, but to show some new schemes
Most notably Keselowski's

It's looking like NASCAR will forgo keeping the Daytona 500 Winner's car after the race....
They are still having issue getting enough cars produced.....
Also, they are putting a vent in the top of the windscreen......
Looks like they still haven't cured the heat issues in the cockpit.....

I hadn't heard that yet. I do know that they've been doing extensive testing with the cars in Daytona for the past week though. Even Dale Jr. was driving one of the HMS cars last week to help with the R&D on these cars. Most drivers seemed to love the handling and driveability of the cars and NASCAR likes that the top speeds were hanging out just under 190mph. Interior heating has been an issue with them since the first tests happened a couple of years ago. NASCAR is running out of time to figure that out though. I hope they get it done soon. I'd hate to see the year start out with a disaster of a car on the track!

Seeing noises about discussions of eliminating cautions at the end of stages....
Possibly replace with bonus $.....
So far just a reference to Daytona....
Believe that would be a better way to do it.....
Can hope it catches on for all races....
