What if....
So, I was talking to a NASCAR buddy when the subject came up about road courses. Apparently, the Nationwide (Busch) series will be heading to Rd America this season. This got us wondering if there could be a double header weekend. More than that really, what if you can run Supers in a double (race 1 @ 1pm split by Nascar practice then 4pm for race 2) on Saturday and Daytona bikes before the Sunday Nascar event?
Not that everyone would agree, but cross marketing the two events together would seem like a plus for the AMA.

It might work but sometimes those heavy cars hammer up the pavement which would not be good for a bike.

As far as the pavement issue, those cars really tore up the track at Daytona, for sure!

I believe that there are two or three instances a season where this could happen. Infineon and Rd America are two, but it sure would be a site to see them big ol cars barrelling around Barber in September.
As for track wear: Sportscars run road courses every weekend practically. Outside of marbles when you run wide I think it would be fine. Take the jet dryer out to blow the track right before the races.

The AMA ran a flattrack race in Joliet the same weekend NASCAR was there a few years back. I went and it was decently attended, but I'm not sure how much it helped.
