The Ideal NASCAR Nextel Cup Schedule

This topic has been beaten around so many times it isn't funny, but after what I saw this weekend and much thought it kinda strikes me funny that the Cup cars aren't more of a premier single date touring series. I'd love to see NASCAR get rid of several second dates at racetracks as well they aren't really needed, and this could enable racetracks that don't have dates and lets them get what they have desperately desire, the NASCAR Nextel Cup series.

I figure there are only 4 racetracks that deserve or should have two dates on the schedule, those being the two superspeedways Daytona and Talladega and two of the Short tracks in Richmond and Bristol. That frees up several racedates to racetracks across the country that are worthy of a race date, places like Pikes Peak and Kentucky speedway, and it allows NASCAR to easily expand into NewYork and the Pacific without sacrificing more dates from the southeast.

Whether NASCAR would ever put into practice a schedule that could contain less race dates for ISC racetracks, or SMI ever putting up with a few fewer racedates I doubt would happen. Imagine a schedule that could easily fit in races at North Wilkesboro, Rockingham, Pikes Peak, Kentucky, Milwaukee, Nashville, the proposed new tracks in New York and Pacific Northwest and everybody still being happy with the dates they have.
