Richmond’s Breaking Point?

Richmond Raceway over the years has earned a reputation as one of the most dull tracks in all of NASCAR. This past Easter Sunday may have been the breaking point for some who would be on the fence about Richmond Raceway. Is this Richmond’s Breaking Point?

What did you think of the Richmond race? Also, do you think Richmond should only have one date?

It would be the victory for his late wife, and what Denny “my high school friend was chris-chan” does? Steal and Mock him because NASCAR has his back.
With Joe Gibbs Endorsing it.

If people had doubts about Toyota, JGR or Hamlin being good, that died sunday.

@@nascarfanatic2425 If you’re up front every week you can put up with a little BS once in a while, but think about the guys who race every week, never see a top 15 finish, cruise around the whole race mid to back of the pack, getting 1,2 3, laps down and never recovering. They have to be iron-willed!

Only benefit for me (an RFK fan) is Denny not wasting another playoff spot, which means that hopefully rfk can lock up a spot. But he definitely jumped like cmon nascar.

Richmond was beyond dull after the switch from rain tires, it was also seriously dragged down even further by some insanely asinine officiating. Worst race of the season so far and one of the worst races of recent memory.

There are at least 3 to 4 tracks that I think should only have 1 race date, and Richmond is one of them. But I still think that the schedule should have 24 races.

Richmond is overhated but should only have 1 date to give more opportunities for other tracks to he on the schedule.

Richmond should just have one race and it should go back to being a night race held at its traditional spot in September. It was held on the same weekend for years in September.

To my knowledge Truex is more docile and clean compared to most of the field and that “lash out” is when you push someone like him to the breaking point that we all have… sooooooooooo many BS things happened to rob him of the win and his anger won but his percentile of aggression in the past is so limited to a non factor that I don’t see it as a problem all considered.

NASCAR will pull out SMT data to see what Chase Elliott did immediately but didn’t even bother looking at Denny Hamlin’s for the restart. I believe nascar wanted Denny to win because of their affinity with Toyota and it being Denny’s hometown track. That was a Jumped restart all day, if that was iRacing it would have gave him a drive-through penalty.

Reply
@mattcardarelli April 2, 2024 at 3:18 am

I’m more upset about the Kyle Busch caution than the early restart. That caution reminded me of the water bottles on track from a decade ago. Like isn’t that why we’re stage racing

Reply
@nancyhodges444 April 2, 2024 at 5:21 am

I feel for MTJr, that race was his and Denny stole it by jumping the restart.
