TV numbers weren’t good, but I’m beginning to think we’re seeing the end of cable for good and need streaming numbers instead.

Yes. And I thought the same thing about the asphalt looking aged already. Must have used a type of asphalt that would do so.

We are already seeing that handling matters at AMS and as the surface begins to age and lose grip, that’s only going to continue. What we might end up with is the old 70s-00s era Daytona/Dega type races where sure the draft was an important aspect but you had to have your car handling well in order to go fast. It wasn’t just luck, there was very much some skill involved. That’d be great. The other possibility is that we do end up with some sort of hybrid track or the sport decides to go back to unrestricted racing on the track and we get really fast racing where multiple grooves are an option again.

Nobody really knows for sure, but there’s nothing wrong with AMS being what it is right now. I don’t want every 1.5 going this route for sure. But AMS in its current form is fine.

When adding banking you kind of have to unless you want to rebuild the entire turn. Think of it as a triangle, you had to shorten the hypotenuse to have a higher angle of banking.

They’re just generally a lot of fun and I’d highly recommend someone who doesn’t know a lot about NASCAR watch an Atlanta race if they’re interested. I don’t think it really needed to be reconfigured, but it definitely needed to be repaved, and I like what they’ve done with it.
