NASCAR took the day off on Sunday, which is appropriate considering it was Easter and the majority of NASCAR fans observe that holiday.
Five Dates When NASCAR Should Never Schedule A Race
There are other days on which NASCAR will unofficially never schedule a race – namely, Mother’s Day and Super Bowl Sunday.
With that in mind, here are some other suggestions for dates NASCAR should make sure to always take off.
NASCAR should not race on:
• March 3 (National Anthem Day) – This holiday celebrates the creation of our National Anthem. And since many pre-race anthems are cringe-worthy, NASCAR should observe this holiday by never scheduling a race.
• May 2 (Kyle Busch’s Birthday) – It seems like Busch already wins on every other day of the year. NASCAR should ban racing on May 2 every year to make sure Busch can’t have his cake and eat it, too.
• Aug. 16 (Stay Home With Your Kids Day) – Uh, have you seen the NASCAR garage lately? It’s full of babies. If the drivers decide to observe this holiday, there’d be no one left to race.
• Sept. 28 (Ask A Stupid Question Day) – Not racing on this actual holiday would prevent the inevitable fireworks between the media and Tony Stewart.
• Every Sunday afternoon with an NFL game scheduled – Football is our country’s national pastime. Why fight it? Schedule every Chase race on a Saturday night, not Sunday.
