Kevin Harvick Wishes NASCAR Would Shake Up Their Schedule
TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) – If Kevin Harvick ran NASCAR, he has decided ideas on how to move the sport forward.
The reigning Sprint Cup champion would shake up the current 38-race schedule, which remains largely intact each year with no new tracks added and very little race date variation.
Harvick said Friday the current schedule is "stagnant" and fans want more short tracks and road courses in the mix.
There’s been very little change to the schedule since 2001, except for the addition of Kentucky Speedway in 2012.
Asked why nothing changes on a schedule that consists primarily of tracks owned by International Speedway Corp. and Speedway Motorsports Inc., Harvick smiled and said "Two publicly traded companies."
