I my self say that is more than 1/2 the season that is effected! How can you consider that as being a small percentage? If NASCAR feels the need to run Saturday night races they should consider running them In March & Early April- then again in October... The local tracks some of them don't start until April and are finished by the end of September.
And how to the answer that yes NASCAR cares because many local track have weekly nascar sanctioned races... How does that prove they care? I am still trying to figure out what these tracks get from NASCAR by running there series? All I see is the tracks charging twice the amount of money and paying the least amount.

How can 2/3 be small? It's over half! I don't think Nascar even considers this in their decisions. It's outside their realm of caring, unfortunately.

If your only talking about Nextel Cup there are not that many Saturday night races on the schedule. I'm not sure where you're getting 16 races unless you are including the Busch races run on Sat nights as well. This season there are only 7 point races and two exhibition events run on Saturday nights for Nextel Cup. They are:
The Budweiser Shootout at Daytona - Feb
Phoenix - April
Richmond - May
Darlington - May
All-Star Challenge - May
Daytona - July
Bristol - August
Richmond - Sept
Charlotte - Oct
The other night races on the schedule (Coke 600 at Charlotte, California - Sept, Miami - Nov) are run on Sunday not Saturday.

You want to run races at the coldest part of the year. That's why the small tracks wait. NASCAR doesn't run a lot of Saturdays because of the small tracks.

Are you wondering why there is more Nascar events and less local races

The TV contract virtually dictates the schedule and the "development" tracks for the stars of tomorrow aren't part of that bottom line.

NASCAR is sooooooooo stoopid!
Rules changes as a season goes along, arbitrary penalties....
Yep it's a dictatorship alright.

16 of 24 = 66.7%, and 66.7% is NOT small.
