Now that you've had a little time to digest, which do you like better?
Wow..... What a different race! Take everything that we've known about restrictor plate racing and throw it out the window. As much as I was liking what I saw I have to wonder how many of these teams are going to be around at the end of the 500? I think that the biggest issue with it is that not only is is something new to us fans, it is to the drivers as well. They're having to learn a new form of racing virtually overnight. The same goes for NASCAR. The powers that be have to be banging their collective heads against the wall trying to figure out how to get the speeds down when they're in these two car drafts. With a few exceptions last night, these were our best drivers out there and they had problems. Problems with closing rates, problems with getting that third duo past the other two, two car packs running side by side. This track isn't nearly as wide as Talladega and it's not leaving any room for error. My driver was taken out through no fault of his own while riding the yellow line last night. I think that if they allow this to continue and we have the full field of 43 out there, throwing in some of the lessor skilled drivers, we'll see a quick thinning of the herd.
