Why are the bolded drivers...bolded?
Click to expand...

Because I wanted to:D

Paul Menard, because people thought RCR was making a mistake with Menard and/or adding another team
24-48 because I don't like them
17-22-18 because I like them.
 
Have you ever seen anyone with as much bad luck as Vickers has had to start out this year? I imagine alot if it is rust but theres just some bad luck, such as Kenseth getting into him at Phoenix when he had a top 5 car most likely.
 
When will Robby Gordon learn that he should just pit because he always blows a tire when he doesn't.
 
This has to be the most empty seats I've seen at Bristol in years.

I could see a crowd like this for a rained out race run on a Monday. Bristol has been slow to react to slashing ticket prices and offering better deals. They still have tickets priced at regular prices ($93). I saw many yesterday on craigslist with the asking price of $60-$75, not many takers.
 
The fact that you have to pay $1200 (four day minimum) for two nights in a motel doesn't help any either.

Yeah...I've been wanting to do a Bristol weekend but I just can't justify the total cost.

Same here, it's a bit much along with the fact I already fell asleep for about 50 laps, Bristol is not as exciting as it used to be.


For the love of God I hate those NAPA commercials. GAY, GAY, GAY.

While there's a lot of side by side, it's just side by side driving, not side by side racing. It used to be when there was passing, it was dramatic passing, now it's just not the same.
