Kyle Busch Agree New Contract Extension with NASCAR for Three (3) years and….
The year 2025 kicked off with a slew of controversies.
NASCAR found itself in the thick of debate at Daytona and Atlanta for inconsistent caution flags.
Hopes were elevated a little for the Circuit of the Americas track, whose new layout had its supporters. But even the road course was not bereft of criticism.
Many reasons upset fans, from confusing track limits to questionable decisions regarding penalties.
Turn 6 was a major point of conversation as not all drivers were aware that the Turn wasn’t being policed.
This led to the likes of Kyle Busch and Carson Hocevar taking digs at NASCAR’s rules.
Despite these minor hiccups, not all in the NASCAR community are strictly against the COTA track.
Although traditional short tracks and ovals are the bread and butter of the sport, one insider rooted for COTA – given its international fame.
The Circuit of The Americas track has been in NASCAR only since 2021.
The traditional 3.4-mile layout is common for Formula One races – but that posed problems for our sport.
There were not many fans on one half of the track, and they could not fully enjoy the race.
But since NASCAR cut out more than a mile, fans could see their favorite drivers attack Turn 1.
Yet drivers faced problems during last Sunday’s race.
The new track limits of the 2.3-mile layout were not fully briefed, and racers were confused.
Is NASCAR moving away from its roots with road courses?
