We use to always try to get seats at the end of pit road like that. Best seats period. Back in the day they use to start selling tickets to the next years 500 right after the race ended at the ticket booth/office. Wonder if they still do thatcaryking said:
I think I've set in those same seats.
Remember the July race, where Dale Jr won, and Austin Dillon's car was torn apart at the end. That's where I was sitting, for that race.

Yep, Dad would rush straight to the ticket office after the 500 and the July race to get tickets for the next year. It took my Mom about 2 years to finally realize why we always did our vacations in Feb and July. (Dad had a sister living in Tampa) That was his reasoning. Let's go visit my sister lol.ncsupack1 said:Glasswolf said:We use to always try to get seats at the end of pit road like that. Best seats period.

I guess Smithfield didn't completely leave the sport. Also, seems like more and more teams are going to the B2B model of sponsorship. Smart move.

Rick Dreiling is the CEO of dollar tree family dollar. He loves racing. He was the ceo at dollar general during their run. One of my best friend did both of those deals. They make their vendors pay for the racing program
.@NASCAR is offering to extend the charter system for seven years concurrent to its new media rights agreement, per sources familiar.

Suarez, Busch and Blaney keeping their cars side by side without wrecking was amazing. Agree with it being a very good race. To many times I've seen a driver get a lead on a 1.5 mile track and then just check out because he was in clean air.TheStorm said:I felt the same thing.

When they were interviewing Logano before the race I noted that he said they were running their superspeedway package and that's pretty much what the racing looked like... I loved it.
I don't remember Atlanta races running like that in the past, but I forget a lot of things nowadays...
That's really cool to see the guys as it was happening. Interesting that they were watching the monitor as opposed to out the window..Wolfer79 said:Inside the Booth: @mikejoy500 (pbp), @ClintBowyer (analyst) & @kevinharvick (analyst) #NASCAR pic.twitter.com/Eex81vVAej

I use to attend all the races in Charlotte. Last was during Jimmy Johnson run. Never failed. When he got in the lead he would just check out. Like you said, everyone was racing for 2nd then.ncsupack1 said:Glasswolf said:Suarez, Busch and Blaney keeping their cars side by side without wrecking was amazing.

Agree. Yesterday was fun to watch. Also, those days when a team was on was hard to watch…basically had to watch the race for second.
