Daytona Xfinity

I don't normally watch Xfinity races, but realizing it was the 4th of July weekend, and one was probably underway, I found the coverage on NBC-SN Friday night. The race was a classic 'plate extravaganza, complete with big crashes and ending with nobody really sure of who had actually won. Eventually, Almirola was declared victorious, at which point he began the mandatory burn-outs, in front of an empty "Daytona Rising" stadium. There were many overhead shots during the event, and try as I might, I could never see any fans........anywhere. There appeared to be some activity around the start-finish line, and I can only assume fans were clustered in that specific area. I haven't watched an Xfinity event in a while, and was shocked. Maybe it's the new normal, maybe less is better, maybe it don't really matter...... just didn't look like that back in the day.

You are right Bobby the stands were bare with the exception of that handful that was at the flagstand,maybe they were at the refreshment stand or the rest rooms for whoever makes the walk -- but there was action and plenty of it. Those youngins were trying to be in the limelight one way or the other but Eric amarola somehow was declared the winner in overtime
