They saved it by changing it to that from the #Eldora.

Watching that montage makes me realize we'd hardly have a Kyle/Brad rivalry if not for Buschwacking.

Level 1 penalty for Chase Elliot, finish encumbered, crew and car chief suspended a race. He dropped to 8 in the standings. I'm sure this will have a drastic lack of effect inn the playoffs

Bummer for McDowell as he did a lot to get that team to where they are now.

I wonder where he goes? The 34?

The layout looks awesome. It looks like it was built on a garbage dump though, with random piles of tires for barriers and unkempt brush everywhere. Those were the days.

They added a chicane to Charlotte's road course:

My god this roval race is going to be glorious, hot garba---:roflolmao:

I wish they were running it this year because it's going to be pants-on-head stupid on levels we haven't seen yet in NASCAR. Seriously, though, I was kind of hoping they'd leave the rest of the oval in until the left into the infield. I like the speed built up on Daytona's road course much as we would've seen before this chicane was added (assuming that's what it's for, and what else could it be?)

What's interesting about the format of that race if you watch the first clip they explain they ran three segments, after each of which points were awarded, which sounds awfully familiar.

The fall cup weekend at Loudon next year will be replaced with K&N pro series, Pintys/Canadian series first race in the U.S., and a 250 lap Modified race. I don't watch K&N or the Canadian series, but I'm 100% on board with a long mod race.

Regional series are doing better than NASCAR's national series are in some places. This is clearly one of those places. I'm all for short tracks dumping their second (or only!) Cup date in favor of top-tier regional racing nights like this.

Do modifieds have green flag pit stops? I've always assumed their races aren't long enough (or clean enough) for it to be a possibility.
