While doing some channel surfing I stop at Speed Channel and see the NASCAR boys running around a road course. Track looks familiar, and it turns out to be Infineon. I'm not a NASCAR viewer, nor do I keep track of what they do, or have done, but them running a road course was news to me. Turns out they are qualifying for a race this weekend. If the pole qualifying is a preview of the race, it ought to be interesting! These guys can't keep the cars on the track, and it's only qualifying.
Qualifying is till going on as I watch (taped), but Jeff Gordan has the pole right now, and the time is 7 tenths of a sec slower than what the CT IMSA car ran around the track at XPO, where the former IMSA CT driver hadn't been in the car for years. I don't know if there have been any changes to the track though.
Does NASCAR race at Infineon (or other road course) every year?
