I love this idea.

From Jayski's:

Gordon in favor of mid-week races: NASCAR will run its first race on dirt since 1970 in two weeks at Eldora Speedway, so is it time for series officials to consider another change some might call radical? A former series champion thinks so. #24-Jeff Gordon says he's for running mid-week races. "I would love to see that,'' Gordon said. "I think when "Monday Night Football' ends, we should start "Monday Night Racing.' But that is just me. Of course I came from "Thursday Night Thunder,' and ... (it) was ridiculously successful back in the day. I am not saying we need to do it every week, but if we could find the right week in the schedule and mix it up, make it special, and make it make sense for the fans at home as well as the ones that could attend, then I think it would be awesome.'' Gordon said he would be for returning the summer Daytona race to July 4, regardless of what day that is, instead of running it the Saturday night after the holiday. Gordon said he's not received as favorable response from NASCAR. The Camping World Truck Series will run three mid-week races this season. They competed June 27 (Thursday) at Kentucky. They'll run July 24 (Wednesday) at Eldora and Aug. 21 (Wednesday) at Bristol.(Motor Racing Network)(7-10-2013)

They should race the day after the MLB All-Star game -- big chance to market to a lot of sports fans but not-so-much NASCAR fans. Plus, I'm guessing ESPN wouldn't mind having some live events that day.

Mid week NASCAR races at smaller tracks would be great. Rotate the drivers so not every driver is racing midweek. Imagine a Wednesday night race at Rockford Speedway, Madison International Speedway, or Grundy County Speedway with 15 or 20 NASCAR drivers. This would help attract new fans to NASCAR & to the smaller local tracks. Charge $25 per ticket & broadcast the races on one of the all sports networks & have NASCAR drivers sit in with the broadcast team.

rockford and madison, hell even jefferson already get good crowds on the weekends... if they had nascar drivers in there they would overflow with business on those nights, but likely would see a decline on their weekend nights.

Once football starts they should go to Tuesday or Wednesday nights.
