Do NASCAR tracks need to run shorter Sprint Cup races?

But if all the drivers went balls to the wall how many of us would be on here talking about a "bonehead" move he pulled so early in the race? lol

Yeh but then it would be more exciting, I have fallen asleep in the middle of about 6 races this year. That never happened in the past, the middle portion of these races can get downright boring as watching paint dry. Shorten races like Pocono, Fontana(300 laps), hell even make Bristol 400 laps. I have no problem with that.
 
Some things never change around here! LOL Andy, you sound like you're 85 instead of 20-something! I read the same article earlier and the reactions here are the opposite of the majority of the responses under the article. The majority want the races left alone as far as length goes. I agree.

So a race may not be that exciting at certain points watching it on TV. Oh well.. I can live with it. NASCAR needs to cater to the fans and as was expressed on the website, those at the track who spend the money for tickets, lodging, travel, etc., expect to spend some time at the track. The Glen is one of the shortest races and I'll tell you, it seems far too short. I'm used to the hours I spend watching at home and when I'm paying to be there, entertain me!

The problems are more than the length of the races, obviously. One of the biggest problems is the new car. It's wonderful that it's so much safer. I've seen some crashes that I was terrified someone was going to die or be seriously injured. That they walk away is a relief and I'm grateful the cars are so much safer. That being said, there are times when the leader is so far from the pack that it gets boring. When there's no passing, it gets boring. But I must say, I think for the most part the racing this year has been far better than I've seen in the previous few seasons. FWIW :)
