Most US tracks have lots more fast right turns than left ones...
You have a good point. With most on-road tracks that run clockwise you will always have more right hand turns than left. If you look at it in oval terms they always talk about 4 turns (even if there are only two really) to get around the track. So that means if you assume 90 deg turns there will be 4 more right turns than left to complete 360 degrees. If you set you car up with more right side weight it may provide an advantage overall in the right turns. Would definitely take some experimentation but would certainly be worth a try.
