I love short track racing (Taylor's Version)
If there's one single track on the NASCAR circuit that really illustrates the differences with quality of racing between the old car and the new car, this is it.
Richmond used to almost always be known for barn burner action. But, every race at Richmond since Spring 2007 has, for the most part, sucked ass.
As for the rating, 3 and that's being generous. I hardly consider several wrecks in the middle of the race "good racing". It was awful for the first 250 laps, then 100 laps of carnage followed by 50 more laps of awful.
This is some of what MRN was saying during the broadcast:
Usually we see a lot of side-by-side racing, and close racing here at Richmond. That has not been the case tonight.
This is really a bizzare race at Richmond. Long green flag runs and a really strung out field...
For those expecting to hear about beating and banging short track racing, that has not been the case tonight.
The best battle on the track is for 27th position between two cars that are one lap down.
The lap times have really given off a bunch tonight, and we see where cars are seperated by seconds instead of carlengths.
Goodyear and NASCAR brought a new tire to try to adjust to a changing track.
Rockingham placed sealer down and it made the track slicker but it made the racing better, maybe Richmond should consider doing the same thing.]
These guys have just settled in and are riding around, really nothing of interest going on in the track so we'll check in the pits (followed by a TNT-style through the field update on every car on the track)
Then MRN mentioned all the wrecks, in which Joe Moore stated that a lot of good cars that could challenge Kyle Busch were taken out.
After the big wreck, the racing sucked again and MRN continued their on air mauling of a ****ty product.
So, since 2007, NASCAR (and Bruton Smith) have ruined: Richmond, Bristol, Daytona and Talladega.
Honestly, Martinsville and Pocono are the only tracks putting on good races consistently anymore... I've always liked Pocono but the racing has just gotten better there with the COT.
