NFL schedule unfavorable towards NASCAR

[rob]

In past years, the NFL has usually given consideration to NASCAR races and generally tried not to schedule games in the same city/locale on the same day. But this year 6 Chase events will be run in conjunction with home NFL games...Chicago 9/15, New England 9/22, Atlanta 10/20, Dallas 11/3, Arizona 11/10, Miami 11/17. All are day games.

No, just a bum deal for many involved.
For local residents who are fans of both, they have to choose one.
For visitors, it results in even higher inflated lodging costs as well as more crowded restaurants and other establishments.
It also spreads local law enforcement and emergency personnel even thinner.
Hard to find a positive for anyone in this...

yeah good point Rob

is rather odd to have 6 events on same days, all during same times basically

Fuk it. Move all 6 to Las Vegas. No NFL team to contend with.

I agree

Vegas not having a chase race or any 2nd race at all is the biggest blunder of the whole schedule imo
