Okay guess it wasn't as fun as I thought.

This sounds like a good retirement goal (which is over 30 years away, but hey, have to have something to look forward too). Visit every race track in the U.S. and watch a race.
I'm a bit of a track chaser - go when I can and where I can. It's fun.

Always thought it would be fun to follow the circuit one year.

I think that's it...
Old Trackchaser debate - should Richmond count twice?

In other words - did you list 9 or 10 tracks?

Wouldn't it?

I "chase" more on the local/short tracks. If I move to a new area, I'll try to get to the closest NASCAR/Indycar event. There's still a lot of places I want to go and see.

It's just a love for the sport in general.

I count them as 9. But it's not about the number; rather the experience!

On a sidenote, I was at the last Race of Champions Modified race at Trenton. That place was cool! Such a shame to see it go.

Right on about the experience! Would have liked to have seen Richmond in the old configuration.

Never made it to Trenton - parents say I went but I was too young to remember so I don't count it. I've only seen videos on youtube..that dogleg on the backstretch must've been something!

Same here, though the tracks with two dates I would select one.

I have driven to all of the tracks on the Cup circuit over the last 13 years including some that are no longer on the tour such as the Rock, and N. Wilkesboro.

Also been to many of the tracks on the Nationwide and truck series tours but I have yet to make it to the Iowa facility.

Up until two years ago, I was missing Watkins Glen but finally made it there too.

I have my favorites and not-so-favorites but that has more to do with working at the facilities, the fans and the track workers rather than the actual racing itself.

All of the Cup tracks except Martinsville and Pocono. I've long lost count of the other tracks.

Charlotte, Martinsville, Bristol, Dega, Daytona, and Darlington. Go to the Martinsville and Charlotte races every year, and why not, they are so close.....especially Charlotte.
