Just went and got a pizza and I'm ready to watch the 48 team be a spoiler today. 
I've been to Cup races run on at least eight tracks. We all know being at the track is better but to me, the Roval has the biggest disparity between watching on TV and attending live. TV doesn't do justice to the racing at most tracks but here is where it seems to do the least effective job of portraying the views, action, and overall experience.

Pocono is another track that's much better to watch on tv.
Apparently I didn't make my point clearly. I meant the Roval is much better live than on the telly.

No, seems you made your point clearly, I just didn't read it clearly!

Maybe it’s a road course thing, because I feel the same way about Watkins Glen.

Top sirloin ready to cook on the electric stove in the dorm room. Hype to see the 9 take it home at the roval today.
Went to early service, then out to lunch with several good friends.
Changed into comfy clothes and ready to enjoy the race.
Hope all have had a good weekend.

I gotta work next Sunday, my Sling subscription is expired and I can’t justify paying $46 to watch one race. Darn! Oh well, hope you all enjoy this one! At least there’s football to watch. 
A breezy afternoon on the deck. Race in the foreground, bird feeders in the back, binos and cider at the ready.

You have to wonder how much longer Kyle Busch will enjoy just riding around lol

Kyle could probably watch the end of the race at home.
Or, make a decent comeback.

SVG is just playing with Reddick.
Two races at the lower levels and nobody has hit the tire pylons yet. I'm very surprised.
Buescher was fast in practice. He has a good car.

Cindric misses the backstretch chicane.
Looks like Reddick burned up his tires.
He won't be the last

Never been to the Roval but I feel the same about short tracks. They are small and you are close enough for it to feel inimate. The smell of the gas and burning rubber is also more intense. TV doesnt capture it.
Maybe one day there will be a TV that distributes the smells of the racing gas and the heptic feedback.

Welcome Winston Cup fans!
Not able to watch today. Not super bummed since it’s just the Roval. But I’ll watch a replay…Hope someone besides SVG gets it for once.
Bell up to P4
Babbling about Chastain in fifth and he'll pit at the break. Idiots.

Ross definitely should NOT keep his spot.

Speaking of Chastain.....

chastain with the goofy playoff antics
And he botches pit exit. Tell me again how important playoff standings are a third of the way through a race.
Instant Chastain classic
