NASCAR continues to live up to their clownshoes reputation with that full course yellow.

But this finish is going to own, so :confuoot:

There better be a goddamn in-car video feed of Tagliani's 2 lap blitz through the field.

Somebody remind me why NASCAR doesn't race the long course anymore.

They would be poo poo on the long course. All the corners it adds would be too narrow to do any racing on so they would just follow each other around until the passing areas they already have.
I remember the sweet camera shot of the cars rising out of the earth uphill to turn 7 (which is no longer nearly as potent a passing area).

Therefore I do not think that's a valid reason.

Junior effs up on a road course. Surprise!

But it was Kenseth, overall a good result.

Junior on a road course with a good car is hilarious. He drives it like it's a monster truck.

Running in the rain at a short track would be fine. NASCAR doesn't run that many short tracks. Goodyear isn't going to pay to develop rain tires for those short tracks, and lug them to the track, when most of the time it doesn't rain at those tracks.
Solution: more short tracks on the schedule.

As an added bonus, there would be more short tracks on the schedule.

Wreck was caused by Dinger's brake check, fwiw

That was great.

WTF did they do to the barrier? :stonk:

Haven't watched a full race in quite a while, decided to watch today due to recent events, and god drat this is what I used to love about NASCAR. Have all the races been this heated or is this just road course supremacy?
You got it!

Wish we could ax all the 1.5/2 milers and replace them with short tracks and road courses. Alas.

Dinger clearly wanted it more than Ambrose. Great finish at Watkins, love that track.
Nah, Dinger was just more willing to run him off the track.

Think Rudd vs Rusty back in the day.
