I agree with a majority of your points, especially about the racing product and event. There was a lot of good, but improvements need to be made for the future.
I did disagree with three minor things though and just wanted to get them off my chest: I am not a big fan of Mike Joy (better than the rest of his companions and I have nothing personal against him, but I just never have thought he was that great an announcer); I do like Joel Mchale and thought the preshow was hilarious (though, I will concede he could have prepped better jokes); and I respect the need for appealing to younger/ different audiences (I am usually on board for Nascar’s changes to adapt), but do we have to do it with terrible “music”? People should be coming for the race itself and the crowd’s atmosphere, not the musical artist’s halftime show…
I know my opinions mean little and probably aren’t liked, but I wanted to share since there was call for thoughts.
]]>@Existing in a space we’ll see how the next race does to hold my attention. But I was glued to the screen.
]]>@Megatron dale jarrett i think
]]>@theJman Yep, it was lap 69 (nice)
]]>How was the average speed that slow when caution laps did not count
]]>@Craig Joe Don’t get used to it, they’re not supposed to be wreck fests.
]]>It’s exactly what it is…an exhibition race that needs to be nothing more than that. It should be gimmicky, something different for the fan to see.
I will say, Joel McHale didn’t belong, nor was he entertaining. I strangely would have preferred a DW doing driver/team intros
]]>Not even 2 laps. They were stuck on the same lap for almost a half hour.
