Bonehead of the Week: Bristol I

Bruton Smith for screwing this track up in 2007 and every half hearted failed attempt to make it race well since. Fix Bristol the way it was. The cars don't help either, but I'm particularly pissed off about how we refuse to make the track what it was. We have the technology.
 
Whoever decided less horsepower, a bigger tire and a diffuser was going to produce good racing on anything but a road course. Oval racing requires off throttle time and the least grip possible to be good. The last 3 weeks have killed ANY excitement I had from the first few weeks of the season. Back to reality. The car is horrible.
 
The Indycar announcer who blurted out the Bristol winner with no warning whatsoever.
ETA - I watched both on DVR, Indycar race first
 
I liked Preece doing his best backmarker Ryan Newman imitation whenever Larson got close to him after it was all over. Semi bonehead because nothing happened instead of full, but I got tired of holding my breath.
 
I’m going with the 2311 group as they unloaded poorly, qualified poorly, raced poorly & finished poorly.
