Should Darlington Raceway or Las Vegas Motor Speedway for that matter get a second Cup Series date?
NO, let me explain. One, the only date Darlington needs is the Southern 500 on Saturday night on Labor Day Weekend or at least on Saturday night. Darlington with one date works great, the fans come out and yes even in this economy the fans do come out and fill the grandstands for a good race, why change it. Two, a few months ago I though Las Motor Speedway should get a second date only if NASCAR removed it from California Speedway, however while the October date should be removed from California Speedway (it’s a boring race, we don’t need two dates there), Las Vegas doesn’t need two dates neither, but the current date should be moved, try at the end of the season either in the old California October date or at the end of the year, bumping Homestead-Miami to the 9th chase race of the season, personally the October date works better, that way it would still be a west coast race. That move would be better for attendance at Las Vegas, because there is already too many dates so close togeth
