You know, I was legitimately surprised yesterday with both the racers and NASCAR. NASCAR was really hesitant to throw FCYs for minor spins (though to be fair, they have for the other RCs too as of late), and only threw it for a dead car on track, a pile up, and a huge piece of debris on the backstretch. The race itself was much cleaner than I expected.

Really my only complaint with the race itself is that it was too short, which NASCAR is fixing next year according to Steve O'Donnell. My gripe is with NBC's coverage. I'm not usually one to bitch about commercials, and maybe it just seemed worse because the race was so short, but it felt like half the race was commercial breaks or side-by-side coverage.

I was kind of refreshed with how short it was, honestly. I can see it being annoying with a bunch of commercials but in person it felt like a good balance. Got to the track, walked around the different fan zone type things for an hour or so, then a quick feature race and we still had time to get home and go out for a nice dinner on the town. Maybe I've just been burned by the Coke 600 too many times. :v:

The commercial time was "normal" proportionately, but they spent very odd large swaths of time to guys in the infield or in the stands. I think stage 2 was two laps of on track, down to a guy in the infield to show the elevation change, non side by side commerical, came back to talk to hairy man in the stands, side by side commercial, then the last few laps were actually covered.

No, he got spun the gently caress out and he's Jeffrey Earnhardt and was probably making GBS threads himself driving a car like normal anyway.
