NASCAR: Consistently Inconsistent Since 1948

Anyways, now that I got the negatives off my chest. I attended tonight’s race, and the race was pretty fun. I think that especially in the Next Gen Era, Richmond is a track where it is entertaining in person, but can seem really boring watching it on tv. Glad I got to see it, amid some of the controversy.

Spins at short tracks are almost always cautions. The only caution that could be labeled an entertainment caution was the Kyle Busch one.

You mentioning it is the first I’ve heard about it. Still very questionable, like was it in the groove or up against the wall still where nobody was racing?

IMO if the commentators genuinely don’t know what happened within 10 seconds, it likely doesn’t need to be a caution, (FOX Camera Fails don’t count)

Seemed like they wanted to get out of Richmond asap and allowed the restart to happen as is. As for Kyle Busch it’s one thing if he couldn’t restart the car or had debris fall from his car but for just brushing the wall? No caution was needed.

@anthonypray7928 April 1, 2024 at 6:17 am

I think NASCAR messed up the finish by even calling a caution for Larson because he never spun out all the way and didn’t hit anything . They robbed Truex of that win in my opinion !
