You've just basically described the Continental Tire series and the GT classes of the IMSA Tudor series. And you are correct, because the racing is stellar.
Yes, that, the occasional Ozzie V-8 Supercar race, and the WRC are all I bother watching anymore.
I was losing interest in the 'roundy rounders' for a while now, and once the Nippon Giant won the whole thing last year, I TOTALLY gave up on it.
If it comes on now, I will switch the channel to something else.

For a while, the opening race of the season was at the old Riverside International Raceway.
I think the race tomorrow goes to Chase Elliott or Dale Jr.

+1 he's not in my top 10 I'm a Chase fan just haven't seen him run in the hot sun in a group think he will have hiccups on pits tops.

Heck of a finish. I thought Truex had it.
Atlanta will be the first we get to see the new "low downforce package" since there were minimal changes to the plate package except adding roller lifters and a 1/64" reduction in restrictor plate.
