NASCAR returning to its roots and back to short tracks is something that fans would truly appreciate. Over time, since the revival of North Wilkesboro, many have also asked Earnhardt Jr if he can revive a few other once sprawling but now nearly lost track and bring them back to life. Even if NASCAR does not choose to return to such a historic track, there are certainly quite a few other series around that could make use of such an initiative. Moreover, if NASCAR wants to capitalize on this, it may have to look for more ways to bring back its old fans, who brought the sport to life in the past decades.
