The straight should be as close to the drivers as possible for me. I always prefer it there, and I raced oval for 20 years.
I never understood the longest straight as far away from the drivers as you can get, but a lot of tracks do it that way. The car is going as fast as it will go for you, and is as far away from you as it can get.
I'm never comfortable on a track where the long straight is on the back-side of the track, personally.
