Every race that requires more than one tank of fuel is a fuel mileage race, so that is all of them, exception being at a track that is eating tires every 20 miles.

I hope not. Leave the road courses to the open wheel guys.....

Oh I like the American LeMans Series too. Road courses are better if the wheels aren't open, then they can "rub" a little! ;)
It's just that 3400lb "full-sized" cars are too big/heavy for road courses, in my opinion.

I think you could drop the road courses, personally. As to fuel mileage, remember goodyear got hammered last year for all the tire failures so this year they came in with real tough tires. When you don't need to pit for tires it becomes a fuel issue alone.

Side note: My friend the Jr fan dyed his hair green yesterday for his halloween costume and says if Jr wins today he's shaving it after the race.

It was definitely entertaining. It's how Bristol "use" to be. I think Vickers thought it was a demo derby..... Was happy to see Tony get the win....
