TRD’s Wilson hopes NASCAR considers keeping current weekend format

Toyota Racing Development’s David Wilson talked to Sirius XM NASCAR’s Morning drive on Thursday morning.

Because of Covid Wilson says that NASCAR teams have learned they can just show up and race, thanks to race simulators and other resources available.

“I would really be disappointed if we revert back to the old habits of three 50 minute practices and qualifying. It’s unnecessary. It’s expensive.”

He hopes NASCAR can take the lessons they have learned and structure a “better race weekend format going format”.
