I'm telling you, Supercars is what NASCAR should be.

If I had a pile of money lying around... I'd start an American Supercars series. People would watch big engined heavily modified production cars go at it if it was marketed like NASCAR is... except they'd run 80% road courses with the occasional short track oval or roval mixed in. Figure Mustangs and Camaros obviously, but then also mix in the STI, EVO.. maybe a the 5 series BMW and S5 Audi... pretty much any mass produced car with four seats that's not a Porsche, weighs around 3000-3500 in race trim, and can make 400-500hp.
