It’s back to the road course for the fourth race of the season, making this already the most events on this track type in NASCAR history. Three road course races remain. With only two to three events on road courses for most of the NASCAR’s history it was difficult for race teams to rationalize putting in the effort of building special cars and drivers had to spend time in other series to get enough practice to truly be good.
The 2022 schedule has not yet been released, but one suspects there will be quite a few road course races next year as well, so in addition to setting this week’s lineup for the Jockey Made in America 250 at Road America, make sure to add to your detailed set of notes.

What matters most at mammoth Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis.? Road course racing skills or experience?
Perhaps a combination of both?
That s certainly the case for reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion and acknowledged road course star Chase Elliott, who fashioned a pair of fourth-place finishes in 2014 and 2015 when he raced at Road America in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
Elliott will be one of the heavy favorites when the Cup Series visits the 4.048-mile road course for the first time since Tim Flock beat Billy Myers to the finish line by 17 seconds in 1956 in the only previous Cup race at the track.
