Yeah...I watched some of the race and slept through part of it. I will have to admit the last 20-30 laps were exciting.

Just seems like a terrible format to me. I used to watch, but all the changes drove me away. Consistency doesn't crown a champion any longer (Kenseth being the last one that brought about the change). Now it's run as hard as possible, tear up whatever equipment you need to so long as you just win one race. From a cost analysis perspective, seems like they're spending multi-millions for no reason other than to fulfill contractual obligations. If I were an owner, this would drive me insane. Unload, qualify, and then park it for the weekend.

I wont disagree, I wish it could be like the days where if its driven on the track then you can buy it at the dealer.
Not much fun watching a V-6 front wheel drive car putter around the track.
Thats why they wouldnt be FWD V6 cars, they can be whatever they want them to be. then at least when a manufacturer wins something it actually means something.
Restricter plate racing sucks.
The best restrictor plate race I ever watched on television was the Spring 2001 race from Talledega. The field ran the entire 500 miles WITH NO CAUTIONS! All pit stops were done under green flag conditions. No yellows for 'debris on the track'. There was no "Big One". Just 500 miles at full speed all the way. You could tell from the interviews after it was over just how tired and worn-out the drivers were. It was something that may never happen again.

Watching the race now. Where the heck is everyone, the stands are empty. Just 10 years ago it was the hottest ticket in town.
