Friday Faceoff: Should NASCAR Take a Summer Vacation Every Year?
July 15, 2021
Should NASCAR continue to schedule back-to-back off-weekends in the late summer even when no Summer Olympics are being held?
Trenton Worsham: Not back to back, but it’d be nice for it to have two or three more weeks off scattered out throughout the year as bye weeks.
Josh Roller: I like the idea of a late summer break for NASCAR. The season is long and compact, and sometimes having only a single weekend off probably doesn’t seem long enough for those who travel to all the races. Having back-to-back weekends off gives the entire industry time to plan a vacation or family time, home improvements and, in general, extended time away from the track. Formula 1 has scheduled a summer break for years and includes a shutdown of team factory activities. I don’t see NASCAR reducing the length of the schedule, so having a back-to-back weekend break is a recent change I would like to remain.

It was the final race for the current track surface. It was installed in 1997 and is the oldest on the NASCAR circuit. Construction on a repaving and reprofile project is expected to begin immediately.
“What a genuine, awesome, old-school race track,” Kurt Busch said. “I just asked the track today for the last time on your old asphalt can I have an old guy win, and she answered.”
