Breaking news!

NASCAR dropped the Milwaukee Mile had been dropped a week ago in the Nationwide series. Now the date has been replaced with an old track known as Road America! The sanctioning body announced Monday the addition of Road America, a 4.048-mile, 14-turn road course near Elkhart Lake, Wis., to the 2010 schedule. Slated for June 19, the Road America race takes the place of the event at the Milwaukee Mile, after the state of Wisconsin was unable to find a satisfactory promoter for the race. NASCAR has made no announcement on the future of the truck race.

The race will be run the day before the June 20 Sprint Cup road-course race at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., giving drivers who participate in both series a long commute (as was the Milwaukee Mile) and back-to-back races on distinctly different road-course venues.

Road America, eh? Perhaps NASCAR could considering getting rid of Auto Club for the Chase (since it's such a boring race) and giving Road America that spot, or at the very least, a road course that NASCAR agrees with.

Give Darlington a second date back!!! A 'perfect' fit for a Chase race.

Darlington would be awesome in the chase races.
