It's all about Homestead

[ztevans]

Homestead I feel is either hated on immensely for being the race that decides everything or liked to the point of denial for the same reason.

When it was a flat track, both in rectangular and oval form, it was pretty awful. I have loved it since the banking was added, though. Reminds me of old Atlanta.

His point is, the 3rd dot isn't a mystery.

Dustin did a nice analysis of which drivers may benefit from new format, based on their recent numbers at those tracks.

Homestead's one of the better tracks on the circuit. The Truck Series always puts on a good show there and has since the beginning of time and the Nationwide Series also puts together exceptional exhibits. There have been some great Cup races there in the past and, honestly, the number of good races there outnumbers the bad races.

It definitely is now but when it was initially built as a mini Indy in the wake of Hurricane Andrew, not so much.

The inaugural Busch Series race there was a classic.

I don't recall that race so I guess I must've missed it.
