    I hope all the folks complaining about the race being cut short watch this video to see how hard it was raining and the thousands of fans pouring out the exits before it was officially declared over. Thank you Eric for your dedication to the channel recording your day at the track to make a great video.

      @@dirtracejunkies5957 Boo hoo hoo. Winners keep on winning and whiners always make up reasons to whine. At the championship deciding race last year, NASCAR made Elliott start dead last, while the other 3 contenders all started right at the front of the grid on a track that is historically very hard to pass. Is that how you do the "poster boy" favors? Why would they put him at a significant disadvantage in the title race, then help him win a regular season race? Get your crying towel ready, he's going to dominate and win today at Sonoma.

      @@dirtracejunkies5957 My point was if he's NASCAR's Golden Boy, getting special treatment, his car would NEVER fail an inspection whether it was legal or not. The fact that it did, at such a critical moment, proves the #9 team has to earn their success fair and square.

    You sat in the right place to see the most passing, into turn 12. I don't like the slow, flat turns 13 and 14. I keep wishing they would redesign COTA to just put a fast chicane before the quad-apex 15, 16, 17, and 18 and eliminate those slow and boring tire grinders.
    But now, everybody be honest: When the race cars come by on the pace lap, how many of you say to yourselves "I could beat those guys."
