The Southern 500 @ Darlington

It happens when there is only 1 caution all night so far. Who woulda thought that would happen at the Lady in Black

I think racing has gotten so expensive that they just don't "race" like they used to. it cost too much to repair/replace these cars today. There ain't no rubbin' in racin' anymore. Or maybe I'm just old school and think everything compared to when I was younger is worse. Damn it!! I'm a crusty ole curmudgeon.

I think the cars just have so much more grip now that they dont slide up the track like they did

with 9 cars on the lead lap. And you know this race is boring when all DW can find to talk about is how big the roof flap is.

Hopefully we can get some action here with a caution.

I agree with that, but I still don't think there's as much side by side racing. They tend to line up and turn laps. When the prize for winning the championship is as large as it is, you have to finish each and every race. Winning a race is almost a by product of just being consistent instead of the primary purpose each and every week. For example, the "start and park" guys. Start the race, turn a few laps, then park the car and save it for
the next race, instead of entering the race to bring back the checkered flag or the steering wheel.

yea. Gettin near then end and only a handful of guys that can challenge. Could get interesting.
