Worst NASCAR Tracks
This list is for some of the worst tracks on the NASCAR schedule
This is where you watch spread-out cars drive in a straight line for a long time, with the fastest car frequently dominating en route to victory. Rain is very frequent as well, and the track is huge to dry off, which either leads to agonizing delays or the race being mercifully cut short.
Why did NASCAR choose a double header here of all good tracks? There's such a gap between the cars, and it's won on fuel mileage. Now me, a NASCAR fan without a TV connection, I can't see fuel on my tablet or laptop. It just makes it so boring.
They added this worthless track to the cup schedule over Iowa, Road America, or Gateway. And parking is a mess.
Pretty boring track. This should be turned into another date for Las Vegas or Atlanta.
Home track is boring. Should be repaved. But there are some wrecks.
NASCAR should build a track in the Sacramento area. There is plenty of available land, and it will draw more race fans than Sonoma.
This track is a nice spot for a vacation. It's just that ovals are better. Road courses are only good for TV.
The shorter it is, the more boring it is. And this is the shortest, so it's very boring. Even qualifying at Pocono could do better.
Worst track in motorsports. No speed, and they have to move cars just to pass.
Extremely boring. No characteristics. Just a somewhat oval with basically close to no banking. Even though it's an easy track to make for stop motions, basically everybody hates this track.
Replace it with Iowa or Gateway.
Not much character in New Hampshire. The last chase race was good, it's just they need some banking and a night race. Then it will be off the list.
Great track for the modified series, terrible for stock cars. The best you can hope for is for the leader to run out of gas in the closing laps.
It's tracks like these that make people think NASCAR is just about "going in circles and turning left." So boring.
Another 1.5-mile track. Produces the same type of lackluster racing you see at many other 1.5 milers. The track has no character and produces bad racing.
Just really boring because you have to wait a long time to see the cars again. Good on TV, bad place to go to.
Good track, it's just only good for TV.
Terrible track! There is no character to this track at all. A dumpy track with grandstands and an oval. Even Gateway would be a better fit. They would be good, but traffic is bad and parking spaces are limited.
It's okay, but I would go to another track.
It has bumps in the bottom groove.
The track has no distinctive character, and the racing lacks action. Blow it up and build a short track.
I like how NASCAR is planning to do the Road Course version, but it's still kind of boring. I'm not completely against it though.
Not built for stock cars. Provides good racing for IndyCar, but not NASCAR. The 2008 tire debacle made it worse.
IndyCar is great here. Stock cars, not so much. Watching this on TV is pretty much like watching a Pocono race without the rain.
Just a long, uneventful race. The only action you see is engine blows.
Track is boring and long. Only one race a year is needed.
Kind of boring. I'd rather not come here.
One of the most generic and boring tracks. Looks like the same thing as Michigan, Kansas, or Chicago. I know they're completely different for the drivers, but fans aren't drivers, so it's hard to tell the difference.
Hardly a caution. Not that I want to see anyone get hurt. Never. But let's have a little action.
Like Bristol, except boring. Brad Keselowski led almost the whole race last fall, and you often fall asleep. Richmond should only get one race or get one day and one night.
Great racing here, but way too many empty seats.
Nothing happens here.
The only reason why people like this track is tradition. There hasn't been a good race here since 2003 (I guess a case could be made for 2011), and the racing is generally pretty boring. Yet this is considered one of the crown jewel races?
Same as Kansas. Extremely boring, no challenge for the drivers. Round and round they go. When will they stop? Not soon enough.
