    The excitement of the crowd in the closing laps was beautiful regardless of the stupidity that led up to it. If everything plays out fine, I should be at the 2022 Daytona 500.

    I absolutely loved this weekend, and what it meant, means, for motorsports. I would still like to see them run the oval, but this event was necessary. I would propose a short race on the asphalt, and a short race on the oval in the same day. Both winners make playoffs, and so does whoever has the highest average finish of the two. I know this would be difficult because of all the prep work and cameras that go into a race weekend, but fresh ideas like that will keep motorsports, specifically Nascar, going.

    • @crw3673
      @crw3673 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      True fans of racing do not want to see anybody getting hurt! And are relived when a driver can get out of the car, after a bad or serious wreck. That is the difference between a true race car fan and the occasional knucklehead that watches, hoping to see a bad accident! I was never a fan of slice bread, but was glad when he was able to get out the car under his own ability.

    Got to meet you at the pagoda, really cool experience, you’re a pretty cool guy Eric! Also Chevy is an official track sponsor so that’s why there’s no ford or Toyota

    I want this track to stay, but I also want to see IRP on the Cup schedule. I mean I know the Brickyard 400 is a crown jewel, but it's quite obvious that the splendor of said race died off after the 2008 debacle.
