That persistent itch for racing will get a nice, comforting scratch this Saturday night as the “race formerly known as the Bud Shootout” (now known as the “Sprint Unlimited”) is set to start. Ask any NASCAR fan, and he/she can tell you just how long two months can be.

All the right ingredients in the mix: it’s Saturday night, under the lights, with a series of dashes leading up to the big finale. Hmmm, now about racing in heats? Why not have more racing events constructed similar to what NASCAR has at Daytona, and All-Star weekend at Charlotte? Wouldn’t it give fans more of what they really want?

The only argument that seems to work against the concept is that it would be different. Newsflash: Grandpappy’s NASCAR has been gone a long time.
