Half the field multiple laps down and out of the way would be pretty boring. Yeah, that is true. One of the cool things about plate racing is even the small underfunded teams have a real shot at winning. Good point, but it would be nice that the team that built a good engine and set the car up the best had a chance for their work to pay off. I see your point though, and it makes sense

Half the field multiple laps down and out of the way would be pretty boring. I prefer to see the best drivers racing. Not 40 cars running bumper to bumper and door to door hoping the guy next to or in front of you doesnt get the hiccups and cause a 40 car crash. I want to watch racing when if I am watching Nascar, if I want to see a demo derby I will go to the local fairgrounds.

Unless they just changed the rules, they don't run restrictor plates. Took then away last season I do miss the old days though But with good friends and good food it makes for a great time. And I'll pick #48 for the win with the #9 pushing him Shows what I know anymore....

Don’t know if that is close to you or not. Watkins Glen, NY too... Not all of us in the Mid Atlantic have ice on our ponds either, but I sure as heck get the attraction of ice fishing...

I enjoy watching racing in all forms. And It’s been a long time, 19 years since I really watched a NASCAR race. I plan to watch today.
I like Truex for the win in the race today.
I don’t really have a favorite driver or team right now, since it has been forever. I just hope everyone has a good competitive race today.
I really quit watching after Earnhardt died, and I’ll add that I think the restrictor plates and some of the other rule changes took something away from the race.
Lately I’ve really had the itch to watch, so here I am.
Started reading your post and see it's been 19 years and thought yep Earnhardt fan like me then read further and see it confirmed. I tried a couple times and it's just not there anymore.

Loudon is 35 min ride.....we avoid that area ..when all the goobers come a visiting.....lol....And yes,you are missing out on ice fishing...
