I’ve been negative because I’ve watched Nascar slowly ruin the sport the past 20+ years. I give credit when due, which has been rare.

1. I liked the race. I hope they do nothing with the tires because teams will learn how to make them last 80 laps next time.

2. I liked the double file restart. Used to be lapped cars lined up inside and some back markers really did ruin some races taking out leaders on restarts.

3. I like the wave around rules. Used to be lap down cars (when yellow came out) raced back to finish line to get the free pass. That year when Dale Jarrett was sideways and yellow came out was what changed the rule. The compromise was if we freeze cars then we have to give one the wave around so they actually slow down at yellow.

You don’t want to see my hate list lol. I still don’t trust Nascar and the great race we had yesterday was pure luck not Nascar. But it was nice to see driver skill again.
