I feel like wrecking Heim was justified. I wonder how NASCAR will assess that if there's a suspension on Eckes. That was a huge hit and not a smart place to wreck a guy, over what was a pretty mild event.
For the record, a lot of the mid 2000s-mid 2010s California and Michigan races that were considered pretty tame are becoming "cult classics" when talent in the series was at its peak and the cars were entering the turns at 205mph+. I think the fan base is slowly turning towards wanting more...
