Doug,
I agree about dirt track. That's a great way to spend the afternoon. But they aren't going 200+. Personally, the Chilly Bowl was one of the best races I expect I'll see in 2011 just because of the way the son / dad play was so reminiscent of other great races.
I know they had plans to put more restrictions in place to limit the number of laps this would work and more strategy will come from that.
I understand that all of the changes upset racers. But really, when haven't new cars and new innovation been a part of NASCAR? There was a time when every year brought new models from the show room. This is a sport where new ideas are a part of the roots.
I understand next year will bring fuel injectors. Now that's a change that will bring a lot of control to the people who make the rules. Especially because of the controller supplier Freescale. I'm not sure how I feel about that but if it drives fuel economy innovation, then I'm down with it.

I enjoyed the race. Sure, it wasn't pure racing. But it showed a stark contrast to racing at Martinsville. It was completely different than what we saw in the Daytona ARCA race.
I thought it showed to what level of desperation a single racer will go to (trusting another racer on the track) for that drug called speed. I also think it said a lot about the cooling innovations that the car teams were able to achieve so many laps pushing.
Of course it helps that I'm a fan of Kurt Bush and Dodge in general.... So there is that.
