Huh. Exactly what I don't like. Fast cars should be able to outrun slow ones. Drivers shouldn't have to depend on others.
I'll give the track credit. The cars aren't jammed into single wad like Daytona or Talladega (so far).

Enough commercials Fox???? My PRN radio feed is so far ahead of Fox. If someone has a work around to sync please reach out to me.

Dang, some would complain if they were hung with a new rope.
I'm just happy that I have cars going fast on my TV and don't have to pay extra to see them.

They literally brought the Superspeedway DF setup.
What were the expectations?

All I know, the races I didn’t enjoy last season. I found something else to do while it was on.

I didn't realize attendance was THAT poor for the last 5 years. I know one year was COVID, but, WOW... Seems new improvements would pique people's curiosity about exciting racing and draw vast crowds.. Good for their turnout today, it appears each successive race can only add to the fan count going forward...

It's working if you like manufactured drama and not actual stock car racing.

Fuel conservation? 0

Right rear blew.
Ugh, Ross is going to get a few this year. Goodness, he's adjusted so well to these new cars.

Not everyone likes this package. Cars going around in a circle is only part of the equation.

That’s such a great save on replay. Unreal

Try r/nascarI can't find a stream in low quality.
I'm not thrilled with the package changes, but I take those changes over not having racing.

It's been like this the whole weekend. Whenever someone tries to make a move on their own they end up dropping back.

That's pretty awesome that Ross can continue on after that.

I like superspeedway racing like this.
But, I'm hoping this doesn't happen with other tracks. If there are too many superspeedway races, they will lose their novelty. We still need traditional tracks where drivers can race without having to be in a draft.

A large number of lead changes doesn't mean it's a good race. A small number doesn't mean it's bad.

Sure, but we are going to critique the changes.

Sure bud. Watching Atlanta has always been an exciting edge of your seat event

I just posted it for numbers, and I can agree there a little bit. But to me a race where someone is way out ahead isn’t a good race. Why would I want to see someone be 8 -10 seconds or so ahead? Then it’s not exciting.
I take it that you're implying that I'm a lowlife, stupid redneck Texan?

Surprised to see the #19 had the rear changer around the back of the car

Interesting how they were all pretty close at Fontana & Vegas with the NextGen but if it’s a repaved Atlanta they would be 10 seconds out.

I find passes exciting
Agreed, but sometimes those critiques take away from the racing discussion.

A brand new configuration where the idea was to turn into a superspeedway.
No data, no idea what to expect here. Am I the biggest fan of the change? Not really, but the idea of it all is working for the vision SMI had about this. I'm fine with the previous configuration, but this is what was given. It's not bad, its like watching a plate race on a narrower track, but hell if it keeps Atlanta around that's cool to me.

A truck or xfinity car would be done
Improper fueling?

Who knows, but I see people upset no one can have a huge lead, so I’m just saying to me that’s not exciting.
