Who thinks Nascar and Indy should share a weekend at the same track?

May be...

yea

It would definitely boost Indy's ratings. It would also put rubber down on the track for the NASCAR race.

Cool idea, but it'd never work. There is just simply not enough room for all those semi's, RV's! And NOBODY would want to be too far from any of their equipment.

It would be an awesome spectacle, but I'm sure it would also be a logistical nightmare. And while we are wishing for better things for Indy, wouldn't it be a nice change of pace to see the Cup guys run the road course at Indy, instead of the snoozer of a race that the Brickyard turns into most years?

Yes.....at the same time.

Tony George proposed this same idea several years ago. He wanted to run an Indy race and a NASCAR race on the same day at Michigan. Last I heard, it still might happen. If it does, I hope they do it during the August weekend, cause that's when we go every year.

I'd say heck with the NASCAR and just show the Indy racing.

MY HUSBAND WOULD CREAM HIMSELF....

It's a great thing at the tracks where there is enough room for all the haulers, motor homes and whatever else needs to be there. What a hassle that would be to get everyone 's equipment and cars all together the track.
I think TBone has the right idea of an Indy car race Friday night and the Cup race Sunday. Question is will they ever do it.....doubtful. =o`)

I think there would just be too much going on. Imagine the logistics of it all.

Well you might get your wish, Auto Club Speedway (aka Fontana) is working on this idea, and they are working on a road course within the track, so Rolex DP series can run also, I heard something like, either Trucks or Nationwide on Friday night. Rolex DP race and IRL on Saturday, and Sprint Cup on Sunday, with the DP and IRL running that would bring a lot of people to the track, people out here like open wheel. But this could not happen until 2011 or 2012 It would be great but at least the IRL people have not said a flat out no, but that's a lot to put on in one weekend. But we might get more than 80,000 at the races. It would be awesome, but I say its gonna take a major miracle to get this to happen. I do have a couple friends on the board of directors for the track, they really want this.. Only time will tell..

Go Dale Jr & Hms

Good idea in theory, but it would be a nightmare to arrange NASCAR practices around Indy qualifying!

No because nascar and indy are unamerican...

IndyCar fans would be like, "NASCAR shouldn't even have been here in the first place!"

I bet they'd be pretty angry. Which is somewhat understandable. They don't want those "Taxi-cabs" anywhere near their "Flying feathers".

But I would like to see it though. It would the the world's largest weekend sporting event(s) ever!!

Its not a logistical nightmare at all. Indy and the truck series already do this every year. There is nothing difficult about it besides politics. I suggested this on the forum once before. I'd love to see an INDY night race on Friday then a cup race on Sunday .

Its a win win situation.

A double header will not work though nor would it be interesting.

whilst i agree with the fun we could have watching the interaction, if they were on the same weekend then the following weekend i would have to mow the lawn and help with the shopping, i only get away with so much at the moment.lol

Never happen NA$CAR would not share money with anyone but themselves

I think it would be awesome to see the different series drivers at the races and see how they interact with the drivers from the other series, not to mention the awesome racing both series can showcase. Indy has already said no because they don't want to be second rate to Nascar since they would have to race on Saturday instead. Should Indy change their minds?

Even better, make it a double-header on Sunday.
