Bristol and Martinsville back-to-back in April....think anybody will be mad at anybody else? I see lots of retaliation coming on April 10 b/c of the race on April 3 that will be fresh on everyone's mind.

 

By the time they build it all up for two weeks they might kill somebody in Texas when they pick up the pace there.

One thing I don't like......Charlotte, Atlanta and Texas are all a part of the "Chase for The Championship events". These are all pretty much the same track. Move a couple of them back and put in say Bristol and Indy, or Michigan, or California, or Richmond, or heck even a Road Course instead of all three of those tracks being in the Championship chase. At least switch one of them with Bristol.
