Yeah, good point. That was another thing that kinda bugged me about Sunday’s race. I’m okay with the best car(s) not always winning the race … because if they did, then there’s no point in running the full event. But, Carl Edwards had probably the best car on Sunday, but he couldn’t hang out up front for anything because of the pit strategies early on.

I understand. The track is a good one, but the racing isn’t all that enjoying…you have some of the main drivers struggling and racing at the back of the pack, while those that aren’t talked about much finish good.

That’s pretty much what I was saying, Newman’s #1. I enjoy the road courses because they give us a break from the norm, but at the same time, I can’t necessarily say that I completely enjoy the actual racing itself.

You need a road course, not all the tracks are expected to be the same. Ryan had a decent finish…Kurt, not so much.

Adam, I dunno … the road courses are usually pretty entertaining in the fact that they give us some different names to talk about for a weekend, but all in all, the racing there just typically doesn’t do it for me. They’re okay, but definitely not the best on the schedule.
