QOTD: Where Else Should NASCAR Go?

by Tim Healey

Published: August 27th, 2024

NASCAR is going to Mexico.

We've seen the series experiment with street races, and an appearance at Le Mans last year generated buzz. We've also seen the Clash at the Coliseum and dirt racing at Bristol.

For the purposes of this question, let's keep the focus on international expansion. Outside of Mexico, what countries should NASCAR hold a race in, whether it's a one-off or something that turns into an annual stop on the schedule?

It's a pretty straightforward QOTD, and you know what to do.

Sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I haven't followed NASCAR for decades, but my answer is "nowhere" - for the same reasons American football can't work in any other country.

“It's a pretty straightforward QOTD, and you know what to do.” eh I’ve been following this blog since the pre-acquisition days…long before…which leads me to ask you my QOTD—would you actually try writing articles for this site, instead of this drivel??? You’re the effing managing editor ffs. It’s embarrassing.

Namesakeone It should be a name that evoques the wild west, that emphasizes the go-anywhere nature of how an SUV should be used. Something like a wild animal, maybe something like a horse. I've got it! How about . . . Mustang! Oh, wait. They already did that, didn't they?
Slavuta There Used to be Pontiac Trans Sport.... That "Trans Sport" part has a totally new meaning these days
210delray You need to change the headline -- it's a 2025 model.
Jeff How about Aspire for a new subcompact crossover from Ford because it aspires to be bigger and its buyers would aspire for a better vehicle if they could afford it.
Jeff Carlos Travares wants to cut costs by 1/3. I don't see Chrysler or Dodge surviving too much longer especially since they are being literally starved for product. The success of the new Charger could extend Dodge a few more years but a failure might be a quick end to Dodge. I could see Stellantis moving more manufacturing for Jeep and Ram to Mexico which I believe will eventually be the only surviving brands of the old Chrysler. As for the Durango if it continues it will not be for too many more years it is an outdated product that I doubt will be redesigned especially when Jeep has a comparable product. Stellantis needs to address the high dealer inventory level by giving better incentives and low interest rates to clear excessive inventory.
