That race was fricking awesome! At first I wasn’t sure what to think other than when Nascar had the Charlotte tire disaster and couldn’t make 10 laps. But as it went on I enjoyed it more and more.

I think NASCAR (correctly) believes that pit stops aren't really fun/enjoyable for the audience... for a casual fan I bet its frustrating for your driver to have a huge lead but then need to pit under green. But they are missing the fact that the situations those stops create are great in terms of the racing they create. And like you said, make the drivers have to be good at actual driving.

Not correctly at all.
Pitting used to be a bigger strategy. These idiotic stages have ruined a big part of what made racing great.

And now we have guys like Larson getting out of the car whining because all he wants to do is hit the gas in the best equipment of the field and cruise.

He was the only Hendricks guy I liked. Chase’s reaction has changed my mind. F Larson at this point.

Racing is supposed to be frustrating! Sports are supposed to be frustrating. It doesn’t always go right and over coming is what it’s about.
