Thanks BB. Regrettably I wasn’t prepared to start a new topic. I’ll take a

pass.

In that case…

Racetracks (past or present) That Have Hosted ‘NASCAR Cup’ Series Races
… …(Winston Cup or Nextel/Sprint Cup tracks acceptable as well)

I saw “racetracks,” and as a horseplayer, my mind immediately went to “horse race tracks.” I could name plenty of those.

Might I suggest a clarification of the topic to something like:

Car Racetracks (past or present) That Have Hosted ‘NASCAR Cup’ Series Races
… …(Winston Cup or Nextel/Sprint Cup tracks acceptable as well)

  1. Auto Club Speedway, Fontana, CA (now defunct)
