Commencing with this NASCAR betting season, the people have spoken. To its credit, NASCAR has significantly added road course racing to the 2021 schedule. This week the series will run at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, for the first time since 1956. Specifically, fans and gamblers became bored with races at “cookie-cutter” tracks. Too many races on the 1.5-mile ovals turned away viewers and betting handle. Road racing offers spice and skill that appeals to fans. Thus, NASCAR is addressing consumer demand. Road-course racing requires a skill set that few have mastered.
