Sadly, that's how Lucas has operated the last few years. They've given up on these bullrings with some lesser facilities for these palaces that don't have good racing. Sound familiar?
My pick goes to my local CW station that opted to carry reruns of Modern Family instead of the Xfinity race on Saturday. They chose to farm it out to another station on one of their subchannels.
Do people think Carson Hosevar jumped happened to get into Chicagoland a few weeks ago to document the condition of the track? Chicagoland was one of the best tracks for racing on the schedule when they decided to shudder it after Covid for a street race. Going back makes a ton of sense.
These cars are a failure on road courses and short tracks. Maybe they need to go back to the late 70's and early 80's when teams had two different body styles for short tracks and road courses and another for superspeedways.
TNT did a little better with updates with drivers that had problems. Marty Synder is still the only one that gives good information from the pits. Aside from Atlanta, they've been stuck with two dud races to cover.
I'd probably be making the trip to Florence if Larson was racing. Kind of hard to race in Kentucky when the Cup series is in California. That track puts on good late model shows. I'm anxious to see how the sprint cars do there.
Wonder if Spire would dump Haley for Suarez? Haley's big selling point is he doesn't crash a lot of cars, unlike Cody Ware. But he's not doing much either.
My bonehead award goes to NASCAR. They provide yet another ho-him road race and sat on the caution too long when Cody Ware crashed. He hit that barrier a ton, which should have drawn an immediate caution.
