Agree. Hadn't read anything about Atlanta so the super speedway thing caught me by surprise.ncsupack1 said:
I liked what I saw today. Something different.
I hadn't watched an ATL race in several years until today -- but what I remembered was like most 1 1/2 tracks -- someone gets hooked up, and stays way in front the entire race. It may change up over the course of the race based on cautions, etc, but its not enjoyable (LMS is this way too).ncsupack1 said:

But today was exciting --- that last segment got a little boring what with the single file, but you knew a great finish was coming.
It is interesting to see how mulitple teams can be competitive -- jeez, how long had it been since the 43 car was in the top 10 late in races twice in a season.
And even w/accidents, a month ago, who';d have picked Chastain, Suarez, Lajoie, Buescher, Haley, Bubba and Jones in the top 15 unless it was a fuel mileage race.
That's because you are a NC State fan. We always pick teams/guys that are potentially good to end up not quite there yet...metcalfmafia said:

I agree -- i think the casual fan is a fan of "stories", and having some of these guys who maybe weren't given awesome rides because of $$ and daddy's connections to be able to have a chance each week is a good thing.ncsupack1 said:Packchem91 said:I hadn't watched an ATL race in several years until today -- but what I remembered was like most 1 1/2 tracks -- someone gets hooked up, and stays way in front the entire race.

Definitely seeing some new names running up front.
It is starting to feel pretty similar LOL.caryking said:That's because you are a NC State fan. We always pick teams/guys that are potentially good to end up not quite there yet...metcalfmafia said:

BTW, I pull for Blaney as well...
I'd have been pissed as well, but folks can't help when they die. The ones making his arrangements should have considered Sunday being race day and moved the funeral to Monday.caryking said:I had been keeping up with the Atlanta track changes and was extremely excited.Steve Williams said:Agree.

Unfortunately (and selfishly) I had an uncle pass this week and the funeral was yesterday, so I missed most of the race. The selfish part was me being pissed because I was going to miss the race... My wife set me straight real quick.

I definitely thought is was an entertaining race. Much more entertaining than previous Atlanta races. Some interesting tire issues that potentially were camber related...but interesting nonetheless. But overall, thought it was entertaining. Wouldn't want that necessarily at every mile and a half now, which is sometime the overreaction...but I enjoyed watching yesterday.

Motorsports viewership in America last weekend:
— Adam Stern (@A_S12) March 22, 2022
1) NASCAR Cup: 4.003 million viewers
2) Formula 1: 1.353 million
3) IndyCar: 954,000
š³ However, @F1 nearly matched @NASCAR in the 18-49 demographic, with NASCAR earning 716,000 viewers in that category and F1 getting 656,000. pic.twitter.com/03XIFuLGMK
F1 skews young. NASCAR still reached more adults under 50 (716K vs. 656K) but adults under 50 made up 48% of F1 viewing but only 18% of NASCAR's.
