Nascar getting a bit confused with directions. Heading to Road America in 2010.

Autoblog...

Some motorsports fans take issue with the fact that the vast majority of NASCAR tracks are little more than a series of left turns. This is for you, roundy-round jokers. The official sport of the South is mixing in some right turns and working the brakes a bit more in 2010 with a pair of road courses. The first race, a June 20 Sprint Cup affair at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California, was already on the books, and now the truck racing series has added a second road course on June 19. The Nationwide Truck Series race will be held at Road America near Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, where a scenic 4.04 mile, 14 turn course awaits tailgate-loving NASCAR drivers.

We joke about NASCAR and right turns, but Wisconsin native Paul Menard thinks the biggest challenge will come courtesy of the brake pedal. "Braking will be the hardest aspect. Strategy will play a big part in this race." NASCAR hasn't run a national cup race at Road America since way back in1956, back when race cars used carburetors weren't as fast. Racing Road America will likely be a challenge for drivers who participate in both NASCAR Series, as a trip from Wisconsin to California inside of 24 hours sandwiched between a pair of tough races doesn't sound at all easy to us.

Whether you love NASCAR or you can't stand it, we're thinking middle America's racing sport of choice deserves hats off for mixing it up a bit this year.

i believe he was saying....

" NASCAR hasn't run a national cup race at Road America since way back in 1956, back when race cars used carburetor setups that weren't as fast as today."

I hope, because yeah, they are still using carbs, i wish NHRA pro stock would finally get away from carbs since they are using every other cutting edge technology on the pro stocks anyways lol

In all honesty, i don't really read what Autoblog has to say about motorsport because most of them write as if they've never seen a race.

LOL I know right? If they CAN go flat through the kink that's going to be pretty intense.
