Sucks for the drivers and teams. Especially for the haulers. They have to drive back to NC, then back out west in a matter of days. Two cross country trips round trip in two weeks.

Yeah, it is hard though for NASCAR to schedule b/c they only have so many tracks to schedule at this early in the year where it will be warm enough.

I find it hard to feel toooo sorry for them.

Not for the big teams, but for those who are struggling to survive week to week, like Jeremy Mayfield's team, I feel sorry for them. For the drivers I don't feel sorry at all. But for the haulers, that's a rough two weeks.

True, the little guys do have it rough. for the brickyard, I'll shell out nearly $300 for tix to the truck, nationwide and Cup races plus all the other goodies. Still hard to get too teary eyed for them. Multiple cars for different tracks, carrying complete garages in the haulers...didn;t have those problems 20 years ago.

Amen. The good ol' days of NASCAR are long gone. The last remnants died with Earnhardt.
