Number4 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Hi Guys,
Daytona and Talladega are awesome feats of engineering, but they are just too fast for racing. NASCAR has run air restrictors there since 1988. They tested without a " restrictor plate" in 2004, Rusty Wallace clocked 228 mph, with an average lap of 221 mph.
Talladega is only open two weekends a year with a total of five races in four classes.

Brooklands at 2.75 miles and 30' banking would be in the same boat.

NASCAR Cup series won't even go to Canada or Mexico, Indycar used to come here but is struggling at the moment. There is no chance of any meaningful European superspeedway racing in the near future.

NASCAR Euroseries is not likely to race at any of the tracks listed any time soon. Neither the cars nor the drivers are up to superspeedway racing, although this may change with time.

NASCAR Euroseries does race at two European ovals, Venray in The Netherlands is a 0.55 mile banked oval, with a 1/4 mile oval inside it.
Tours in France has a 1/3 mile oval in a converted carpark.
Lydden Hill in Kent, England has a 600 metre oval.
