Nascar hit a grand slam there man.  What a weekend.  The F1 guys found out that Nascar racing is a full contact sport.

Yah,   it was an Exciting Race Indeed....   I just noticed that some of the Stands were Not very Full as you think that it should be for a National Event.   I can only Hope that Racing  Fan Interest in Texas is Not Going on a Downward Trend.

I dont go to watch the stands, I go for the action and there was plenty of it.  There was certainly a lot of people where I was,  but I didnt have time to count them, I was watching the race

Upset Alex Bowman Doesn’t Mince Words, Blasts NASCAR for Putting Drivers in Box and Producing ‘Embarrassing’ Racing at COTA (msn.com)

Maybe embarrassing to the drivers but entertaining to most.   The wheel and brakes are in their control, they make their own decisions.  F1 does fine in turn 1, but the Nascar boys want to beat and bang to entertain the fans man.

One thing about beat and bang drivers it doesn't take much talent to do it that way.

 

[24nomo]

Yep, just throw it in there and see what happens.

Copy that, the local racing feel is awesome.  Lets bend some metal.

From what I see, the drivers who are complaining the most about no respect are the ones who give the least respect.

What a true statement.  Mr Hamlin dumped a low budget guy just to get a caution.   I hope they get him back when it counts
