I agree. Much better than I thought it would be. How impressive for SVG to come in, race clean and take the victory too. I wonder if they could do the same thing in New York City?Anybody else catch the Chicago street race? I thought it was one of the most entertaining NASCAR events I’ve seen in quite a while. Loved the rain racing, short cautions and lots of spin outs where they simply turned it around and went back to racing.
I’m definitely looking forward to this one next year!
That is kind of what they are designed to do. AT least they were able to continue once getting extricated from the barriers. The previous car would have been destroyed.
If the barrier's are too sturdy and don't give it will probably tare the race cars up more and I don't think that's a good thing but yes looking for improvement is usually a good thing!
Try watching the race on mute and listening to the MRN/PRN radio broadcast. Both crews are absolutely incredible at paint pictures with words. Plus at the track, listening to the MRN channel is hilarious under commercials. They always tell dad jokes.
Every time they went to bi screen commercial, something happened in the race. You had to wait to see if they were going to show it again. Then there is the excited voice that a crash just happened and you had to wait to see what it was.
So on a radio broadcast, each turn announcer has a button to cut in over everyone else when something happens. The accepted practice is to cut in and say "trouble turn x" and then describe what is going on. Mike Bagley is normally on the MRN radio broadcast so he was the one doing it most on the NBC broadcast. All of the MRN and PRN broadcasters know to get quiet when someone keys on so they can get the description of the accident out.
