4. Auto Club Speedway

As  currently configured, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series begins with the pageantry and unpredictability of Daytona, spends a couple weeks at tracks with some unique character (though Las Vegas is more notable for its location than nonstop action on the racing surface) and then takes a turn for the mundane in California. Auto Club Speedway has lost its luster over the years and now has trouble drawing fans for even its one race.

That means there’s nothing to lose by implementing the NASCAR All-Star Race rules package there. The banking is pretty similar to Kentucky, so if if the plates and spoilers work in one of those places, they would likely spice up the racing in the other as well.
