Bristol Racing if that is what you can call it


I don't know about all of you, but Saturday night's race seemed like they have created a 1/2 Michigan track. 3 wide racing is possible and was done, but I miss the old racing where you had to have a car that can run on the bottom, the 2x4 braced bumpers, and the chrome horn that was used to move people out of the way. Heck, Bristol was the only track really left that NASCAR could not penalize a driver for rough driving, as they would have the entire field held on pit road. That does not seem to be the case now. I hope that the drivers get back to the old school methods and starts letting their bumpers do the talking. Heck, NASCAR gave them the perfect car for the old Bristol type races, bumpers at the same height, a car that can take punishment, and then they make the track so that they don't use them. :((

I must be to old school here. I want the old tracks that were tough to drive, the races that the driver controlled what happened, not the officials. Just ask Kyle Busch on that one, based from the Friday race. Another blown call, which could of really cost him the race. And keep in mind, he could of also gotten fined for the type of language used on the radio, and any comments that he might if had after the race, all from a blown call by NASCAR.

I am sure that I am not with the majority on how the race was at Bristol, but to me it was not real exciting and I am glad I did not buy the tickets to go see it. Lets hope that we have some great races in the rest of this season.

I'm with you. I even drove to a friend's house to watch it on his big screen (I don't get ESPN at home). I left half-way through and finished watching from the web stream on my Mac. Not the same Bristol race at all.

We taped it to watch the next day since we had plans, we fast-forwarded through much of this snoozefest! The night Bristol race was my favorite race, there were only like 6-7 cautions the first 400 or so laps!

I am trying to be postitive about the race (mostly because I am dying to go there next year...) but it was a snoozer to watch on tv. Only two leaders and timid drivers... I hope this one was a fluke...
