yankeeman161 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 hey guys, heres a interesting sport story, today nascar will be racing for the first time in mexico at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, a 2.7 mile road course 15 minutes from Mexico City. It's the Telcel MOTOROLA Mexico 200 presented by Banamex Busch Series race today at 2PM on Fox. So here's where your opinion counts: we know that cart has raced in england & germany, nascar has held exibitions in japan. what are the chances that like cart, nascar will be holding more points races outside of the U.S. ?

ROCHitman Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I like it.Nascar will be in Mexico AND Canada before too long so why not test the waters by sending the Busch Series to Mexico?

See Red Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Don't know -- they're going a long way to protect the drivers from some safety concerns they have. Obviously, if it goes over without any major events, then yeah, it's definetely a cool idea.If it's a success, I saw that they may be doing a Nextel Cup Series Race there in the future. One driver, Tony Stewart I believe, said he would refuse to race at an event in an event in which they need excessive amounts of security just to get them safely to the track.

Geoff Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I think there should be a weekend of it. Either:A. Busch in Mexico for their only road race, with a few local circuit races in the days priorB. Busch in Mexico and/or Canada with the Nextel Cup race there on SundayC. Busch in Mexico on Saturday (again with other local race circuits) and a CASCAR race on Saturday with a Nextel Cup race on Sunday.D. Give the Busch guys a week off and have a CASCAR race on Saturday with a Nextel Cup race on Sunday and televise the CASCAR race in the US to give it more exposure.

NJTank Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I think ist good and by sending teh Busch series down you are nt wasting a Nextel event if it does not work down there its a good way to test it out. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclopsis Joe Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I think it's a good idea. The turnout from the Mexican fans was amazing.Now no one can say NASCAR is for White Trash anymore.

DEAD! Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Dude, Le Mans is easy, you get to change drivers! LOL Le Mans is easy HAHAHA thats a good one. I dont think the Redneck Left Turn Tour will catch on in Mexico. Oddly enough, the BUSCH race in Mexico was actually on a road course. Le Mans is easy? Dude, that race is 24 hours long. They have to change drivers! I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to change drivers!regardless of whether or not NASCAR drivers only turn one way...From the standpoint of someone who has never raced outside of video games...I would imagine NASCAR would be tougher.Not only is this because I rawk at Gran Turismo 4 and suck at NASCAR Chase for the Cup 2005 -- but aside from the amount of time you're in the car, I think having a guy within a foot of you on either side all the time would be tougher.

VirginiaTechSucks Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 If I am not mistaken NASCAR raced in Japan for a end of the year race in the mid to late 90's. Earnhardt senior raised hell about it and refused to race until NASCAR threatened to fine him some major $$$$$. If I can find out exactly when it is I will let you guys know.

Cyclopsis Joe Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Yes, but that was exhibition. This was a points race. I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did a few road races in 96 and 97 in Japan. They were not points paying races for Winston Cup but they were fro the Winston West series. I heard all that on the telecast Sunday.

dfwabel Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 i forgot to metion that cart has raced in japan and they currently race in australia. the irl currently races in japan. It is no longer CART, rather Champ Car Series. This year are scheduled to race in Mexico, Korea, the USA, Canada and Australia. They have also raced in England and Germany Indy Car is only scheduled for Japan this year, and has since 2003.Champ Car is dead, and so is IndyCar. With the possible split of F1, why not try to expand NASCAR if there is a split at the top rung of FIA controlled motorsport? Rally racing is cool, but it is better on TV.

Cyclopsis Joe Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 ..a year after saying "we don't need to go there so we probably never will"..
