From what I watched last night it appeared to be a good race with the exception of Larson just being the best car on the track.ncsupack1 said:erniencsu02 said:

Not sure how tv was, but in person there was a lot of moving in the middle to back. Unfortunately the 5 was the class today. Led the most laps in the Gen 7 era.
On TV, it was apparent that there is some booth jealousy from Jeff Burton to Diffey. Burton would jump in on the final lap of a segment and push Leigh out of the way. Annoying. It's like a comment from Dale Sr. on Jeff Gordon back in the day, "he sounds like a little girl screaming". Leigh Diffey actually does prep work prior to the race and does a great job. Burton and the other guys just "wing it" and it shows.ncsupack1 said:erniencsu02 said:

The days of riding the bottom and moving folks to gain a spot are over. This is just my 2 cents and that doesn't mean a lot, but this car has issues, it seems like the fix is NASCAR putting pressure on Goodyear to come up with a tire that falls off. What needs to happen but will not ( for whatever reason ) NASCAR seems dead set against.erniencsu02 said:regardless.

Fighting for the bottom groove is what made bristol good
I was hoping someone would mention how the CW did. I was just glad that it didn't take 4 overtimes to finish, the race I do think finished around 30 minutes before the average time. I think guys had a car that was setup for fall off and that didn't happen, heck, I think one needed fuel before tires.

But regarding the race, I didn't see as much probably as you did, ncsupack1. The cameras did a lot of tight shots that showed a small segment of the track at a time. I think that's a CW thing. I like their coverage of sporting events, but they seem to take fewer cameras to events, so the coverage isn't quite as broad as the larger networks. I know from the CW coverage of NC State games, I actually liked some of the announcers better than the 'hole based team the other networks used. But they seemed to have only one camera perched on the Dail Club patio to cover the entire field. So you got a more limited scope of views.

I honestly would love to see the remove all the seats/suites in one set of turns to open up the outside the track view to the mountains again
as far as the racing goes, I watched about 50 laps before I decided it was a crime to watch that boring s*** over any college football game on a saturday night.

Those days were something. I read somewhere that the attendance was northward of 100,000, so still not too bad. Hopefully the folks who came weren't discouraged by the race and come back.

I was there and the crowd was strong. How many do you think were there? I'll also add that they have taken out every other row for most of the stands.

Chew on this. Old car and current Xfinity, the trailing car can move the leading car with air. Nose down and back up. G7 racing is nose up and back down and trailing car cannot scoop or pack air towards the leading car bumper. We can work on this to allow trailing car to “move…
