The dirt bristol race was a cool. I think Nascar is onto something. Adds extreme variability to the race, which drivers hate and fans love.

It’s an exhibition race, so it’s cool to do something different and weird. I might actually watch it just for the weirdness.

Doing it in California was the dumbest part of this, alienated the fan base that hates all things Cali. This would have been much better received from the fan base if it was at an old or mothballed track.

Just turned it on, didn't realize it had already started.

Look again.

The main race just started.

Decent crowd. I see no face masks or coverings whatsoever. 'merica!

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Looked like a pretty good crowd.

Just found out my brother was there in the stadium. My 4 year old kept wanting to watch it, but he would get frustrated if they went upwards of two minutes without a crash.

I used to watch NASCAR but I quit when they went full-on woke. #GoWokeGoBroke

Thanks for letting us know. We will add you to the list.

As a long-time NASCAR fan, I thought it came off pretty well. The venue was a novelty and was a proof of concept that allows NASCAR to go to new markets even out of the country. The racing itself left a lot to be desired but the format was cool, just like your local dirt track on a Saturday night.

The Gen 7 car is going to be FANTASTIC on the short tracks this year. The beating and rubbing that would have caused flat tires or major damage on the old car barely flaked the paint on this car.

Anybody that can't tell the difference in a hangman's noose and a garage door pull rope is is definitely more woke than smart, especially a building full of gear heads
