NASCAR Atlanta

Nothing major from me except that I STILL prefer the "old" Atlanta with the big curves.....

I thought it was a good race and this new format is definitely making the drivers race the entire race. It looked like Harvik was going to be the first driver to win the first two segments as well as the race, but a pit road speeding penalty on his last pit stop put an end to that quest. Seems like the teams and a good number of fans do not like the 5 minute crash repair rule, most say 5 minutes is just not enough time. Perhaps NASCAR will lengthen the time, perhaps to 10 minutes?

Sadly, the pavement at Atlanta is getting into poor condition. It was due for repaving 3 years ago. At some point, the pavement will crumble and fail during a race if it is not repaved.
