Educate me. I'm trying to get into it. What makes Bristol better?

As a season ticket holder at Bristol for 25+ years, it is side by side , door banging, rubbing is racing excitement. Usually you can pass coming out of turns 2 and 4, but you have to be careful as not to ram the driver beside you or in front of you too hard or a wreck will happen.

Richmond is another short track that is fun to watch. But Bristol is short and is a concrete track with high banks in the turns that help to propel the driver out of the turn at a fast speed. Seeing a driver spin another driver out at Bristol is inevitable during a race.

And most short tracks have a lot of cautions due to the spins and rubbing each other too hard. And that is what makes the driver's tempers flare.

The 600 is a different kind of race. If your trying to get into racing like the other poster said, short tracks are cool...lots of beating and banging.

Sounds like we will know 30 or so minutes from now...I say see y'all tomorrow night.

Looks like rain is ending as we speak.

How long does it take them to dry the track?

Postponed until tomorrow.

Chase Elliott wins tonight in Charlotte - his 7th career Cup Series victory at just 24 years old. The only drivers in NASCAR Cup Series history who have more wins before their 25th birthday are Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon and Joey Logano.

Elliott won't turn 25 until November 28. https://t.co/KOHRUh5uSr

Chase has had a really good week, especially when compared to last week. Looking forward to Bristol.

Ready for Bristol, I think it's gonna be a good one.

Damn Chase.

Car just got loose. Don't think he meant to.

Chase messed up. No doubt. Went in too hot and or possibly a tire going down from contact with 22 the turn earlier but man...... you got to love that kids aggressive style behind the wheel. He could care less about top 5's. All he cares about is WINS.

Yep. He earned a fan tonight.

I've been looking for a new driver since Dale Jr retired. I think chase is my guy.

That was a good race!

It was awesome man. Had a little bit of everything.

A great place to go and see a race in person. The pictures of the stands and the parking lot being empty were kind of eerie, but the fans really get loud there. And because the track is in a hole in the ground, the roar from the cars all running at once is deafening.

I thought overall it was a good race. Had something for everyone.

Not bad. Good to see those numbers.

Dover is moving one of its dates to Nashville Superspeedway. Like it, looks like SMI, is trying to put pressure on Nashville to help and or pay to fix up the track at the fairgrounds.

Interesting. I like this move as well. Now, if they'll just move Dover's other date back and refurbish Rockingham.

NASCAR announced its third installment of the rebuilt 2020 schedule on Wednesday, a 23-race update that begins at Pocono Raceway on the final weekend in June and ends at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for a NASCAR Cup Series race on Aug. 2.

The final breakdown: seven points-paying NASCAR Cup Series races, six NASCAR Xfinity Series races, five NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series races and three ARCA Menards Series events. The schedule also includes the annual NASCAR All-Star Race and NASCAR All-Star Open, slated for July 15 (a Wednesday night) at Charlotte Motor Speedway with a format to be announced at a later date. The entire schedule is at the bottom of this article.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Kentucky Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway and Kansas Speedway will also host events during the homestretch in advance of the NASCAR Playoffs.

FOX will close out its NASCAR Cup Series season broadcasts with the All-Star Race in July. The Xfinity Series season on FOX platforms will conclude at Kentucky (July 10). FOX will continue to broadcast Gander Trucks events for the rest of the season.

NASCAR will welcome back NBC for its sixth consecutive year of coverage during the Fourth of July weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Other notes:

The ARCA Menards Series will also race at Charlotte on July 15 at 4 p.m., setting up a tripleheader with the All-Star Open and All-Star Race to follow.

The anticipated Pocono doubleheader weekend remains as previously scheduled for the final weekend of June, with the Cup Series racing on back-to-back days.

The Xfinity Series will run races on consecutive days at Kentucky Speedway, the result of which will push the Cup Series race from its previously scheduled Saturday night to Sunday afternoon.

Kansas Speedway will host five races over a three-day stretch, starting with a Cup Series race under the lights on a Thursday night (July 23). Gander Trucks and ARCA race the next day, with Gander Trucks returning to kick-off a Saturday doubleheader with the Xfinity Series.

The NASCAR Cup Series is the only national series event to race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Kentucky Speedway (July 9) has been realigned from New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

The ARCA Menards Series race at Kansas Speedway (July 24) has been realigned from Chicagoland Speedway.

The NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Trucks Series race at Kansas Speedway (July 25) is realigned from Chicagoland Speedway.
