Use to love NASCAR 10-20 years ago. It has all changed so much. I remember going to Bristol and being lucky if you could park within 5 miles of the track, now it looks like a ghost town on race days. I don't know what the answer is to bring back the popularity. I still watch the super speedways Daytona/ Talladega. Other than that, I feel like I am forcing myself to watch.

Cars 9, 22, and 42 failed the second time through. They will have their car chiefs ejected and lose pit selection. They all passed the third time through. This will also impact their qualifying order for the Coke 600 in 2 weeks.

Thanks for posting. The camera work is so good now, imho - you get a lot more of the experience from television. At least they have a lot of passing and Fox anyway has qualified announcers that know the sport.

I was at the Fontana race and while being there is so awesome, TV lets you see so much more. If I could get the MRN radio broadcast to sync up right I would listen to that also.

Currently I have Raceview open playing the Officials channel, you learn a ton listening to that channel. I also have Scanner open doing the "All Scan" that bounces around a bunch of driver channels.
