The road course debate rages on in NASCAR<\/a> circles. While some fans love the challenge these tracks bring, others question if the sport has gone too far. Now, one driver in the thick of championship contention is speaking up about where he stands on the hottest topic in racing.<\/p>\n

Ty Dillon doesn\u2019t mince words when it comes to road courses. The Kaulig Racing driver is fighting for one of NASCAR\u2019s biggest prizes while dealing with tracks that have given him fits all season long.<\/p>\n

What Does Ty Dillon Really Think About NASCAR\u2019s Road Course Push?<\/p>\n

While speaking to Large and Spider of \u201cRubbin Is Racing,\u201d Dillon touched on a handful of subjects before answering the burning question of road courses in NASCAR<\/a>. The No. 10 driver detailed his run in the In-Season Challenge thus far and its significance for him as a driver from a smaller team.<\/p>\n

After this discussion, he ranked the biggest moments of his career and where winning the In-Season Tournament would stand among them. The conversation then shifted to one of NASCAR\u2019s most divisive topics.<\/p>\n

As Dillon finalized his rankings, Large asked<\/a>, \u201cWhat\u2019s the right number of road courses for you in a year, just from a driver\u2019s perspective?\u201d<\/p>\n

Dillon\u2019s answer revealed both his frustrations and his support for NASCAR\u2019s direction. \u201cThe number we have minus Chicago. That place has beaten me up the last couple of times, and that\u2019s just a personal thing,\u201d the No. 10 driver began.<\/p>\n

Despite his Chicago struggles, Dillon made it clear he enjoys racing on road courses overall. He also backed NASCAR\u2019s push to diversify the track types in the schedule, showing support for the sport\u2019s evolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just think we have to get competitive with our racetracks. If fans aren\u2019t showing up, if we\u2019re not putting on a good show, or the surface isn\u2019t good enough, the tracks that are in the waiting should get opportunities,\u201d Dillon explained.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Kaulig Racing driver\u00a0went further, highlighting that exploring different tracks signals positive growth for the sport. \u201cI love that we\u2019re moving to new places. So we\u2019ll see what the future holds,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

Where Would Ty Dillon Race Instead of Chicago?<\/p>\n

Following this exchange, Spider pressed Dillon on what he would replace the Chicago Street Race with on the NASCAR calendar. The driver had two compelling alternatives ready.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d move North Wilkesboro to a points race. There\u2019s a lot of rumblings about that. But if it had to be a road course, a place that we haven\u2019t gone to, then, Laguna Seca. That would be a kind of all-time place for me. Those are the two that I\u2019d love to see on our schedule,\u201d Dillon revealed.<\/p>\n

His choices reflect both nostalgia and innovation. North Wilkesboro represents NASCAR\u2019s heritage, while Laguna Seca would bring a legendary road course into the Cup Series fold.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dillon continues his pursuit of the In-Season Tournament title. He currently ranks 31st in the Cup Series driver standings, but his tournament run keeps him in contention for a significant prize. At Dover, Dillon will face off against John Hunter Nemechek as one of the four remaining drivers in NASCAR\u2019s In-Season Challenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The road course debate rages on in NASCAR circles.
