Not a great race. Whatever changes Nascar made them do for this race was a bad idea. Who wants to see single file racing at Talladega?

It's nothing really new, it's been a game of "ride single file and don't make a move until the last lap" for a while now, even though it never works anymore. The rules package isn't too terrible, both today and at Daytona the racing was fun to watch when the drivers felt like going for it. They might need a bigger spoiler though, seemed like everyone was a little on edge.

I still think they should bring back the roof blade and open the plates up.

Open request for all drivers from this point forward to leave their kids in the hauler.

A lot of us have kids. We didn't spray them with Gatorade. If you really want to get on the top 10 for Sportscenter, give your loving crew chief a hug. He at least did something.

Thats just it though. All 3 stages, nobody was able to go for it. No lead shuffling, none of what makes Talladega fun.

I mean watching 23% more single file laps is not really that entertaining, that may be the problem.

And they have a title sponsor.

And people go to the races.

And they don't actively poo poo on people who watch it.

You'd never know they have the same owners.

Helps having a France that gives a poo poo about his sport. NASCAR needs a serious shakeup in administration, but that'll never happen.

It's just amazing to me, since sportscars in America were basically dead. And now it's bigger than ever, and somehow getting better and better.

The one criticism is over how the prototypes are handled, otherwise it's been going really well.

What’s dead may never die. Seriously, go track the rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall of American sports car racing, and similarly its connection to the global/world championship too.

Even the “mishandling” of the prototypes has turned around into a position of strength. It’s amazing.
