Ms.Patty this one, i will get a spanking over but i have to say it.I can only imagine the very hard work everyone has put into the Rockingham track and it showed on TV.All the hours and free labor ,along with millions of dollars must be a great undertaken.Having said that,I must also say to me personally it was a boring race again.I think some times i am to hard to please without wanting that.I'm the pickyest eater you have ever seen ( words of my late Grandmother).Many folks on this site have more knowledge of racing in their little finger then i ever have had,but i know what i like and don't.I do know i am a racing fan and what i think is a good race to me.I use to pull for the 3 car so maybe that is why i get so bored trying to watch Nascar now.I think of the time when Kyle Petty of all drivers would run away with field at the Rock and to beat it all the 3 car was in that field.Everyone wants more folks to watch Nascar and gain fans but they don't seem to know the answer just as i don't.For me the Rock is not that answer.I want to see more side by side racing with the leaders not 10th place on back.I would like to see some rubbing without fear of killing the aero on the car or truck.I would like to look at a car or truck and know what make it is.
I hope i did not offend anyone in my personal words.People from this site has put many many hours into making the Rock a place to be proud of and that part showed.Ii heard it say that the atmosphere at the track was great as i am sure it was.Sitting on my couch miles away i can not feel that.You can have the greatest track in the world for racing and have not so good racing.You can have a dump and some of the greatest racing you will ever see.I might be missing the ole days to much and trying to compare to today's racing.Maybe i will lower my standards of racing and try to enjoy it more in the future.
