That does take some cojones.

True, you won't get many flaming(literally) wrecks, but you get much more wipeouts than the usual race. And as long as the car is off the track and in the grass, there's no yellow flag. As much as I enjoy the occasional NASCAR race, I will say they're pussies for not racing in the rain like they do in Europe. Now THAT makes for some interesting racing. Screw the weather, the race is on. Visibility = 0? Bah, humbug! I would say they’re the two most enjoyable races of the year.

Chriggy's correct. There are two road courses out of NASCAR's 30 courses. It's still mostly left turns, meaning much less than six percent of NASCAR races is right turns. It does sound more interesting, unfortunately, it also sounds like the NASCAR fans don't like it. I would enjoy a race like that. Interesting. Chriggy’s correct.

It does sound more interesting, unfortunately, it also sounds like the NASCAR fans don’t like it. I would enjoy a race like that.

They generally run 2 road courses per season, during which both left and right turns are made. They actually make for some of the most interesting races, since inexperience with taking right turns tends to lead to lots of crashing. That graph is bogus.
