Darlington is kind of like that and it's one of the best tracks on the schedule. <br /><br />Smith changed Las Vegas a few years back and I think most people saw it as an improvement. He's not afraid to spend money, but I'm not totally sure his tracks are the problem. New Hampshire isn't great, but he just bought it last year. Michigan, California, Kansas and Chicago are all the same and all owned by ISC. Switching California for Kansas is a bit better, but Atlanta would have been much better.<br />Thanks!jmayer1843https://www.blogger.com/profile/03979602470480690327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-37785901690597720402010-10-05T17:12:19.231-05:002010-10-05T17:12:19.231-05:00Maybe if they made these tracks narrower...

Maybe just have a funnel going into the turns and drop the lane width in half! These cookie-cutters are for the birds... <br /><br />You remember the old-time baseball parks around the country? Only Wrigley Field and Fenway Park are left, but each one of them was unique... Then baseball went the cookie-cutter route. Today they've learned their lesson. All the new ballparks have their own idiosyncrasies. NASCAR lost touch with that (or maybe I should say Bruton Smith). Seems like they could play with these tracks giving them some individuality that would bug the hell out of the drivers and add interest in the stands...<br /><br />Thanks jmayer!Dwindy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02915617340823975656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-3736870401123643152010-10-05T16:02:12.348-05:002010-10-05T16:02:12.348-05:00klvalus - Charlotte is usually a good race, but Ca...klvalus - Charlotte is usually a good race, but California could be brutal especially if NASCAR starts bringing back the debris caution to try and save the Chase. Reutimann's payback was the first time in a while that a non-Chaser has roughed up a championship contender. So much for racing them differently, and that is certainly a good thing.<br />Thanks!<br /><br />tezgm99 - Thanks, bud.jmayer1843https://www.blogger.com/profile/03979602470480690327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-86929685069388039182010-10-05T14:43:22.255-05:002010-10-05T14:43:22.255-05:00yeah, I'd agree with this one, jm :)yeah, I'd agree with this one, jm :)tezgm99https://www.blogger.com/profile/17930207231098783208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-57197710946896570082010-10-05T10:29:14.252-05:002010-10-05T10:29:14.252-05:00Yup, an unfortunate 2 stars...agreed.
Rooty knock...Yup, an unfortunate 2 stars...agreed.<br /><br />Rooty knocking Kyle out was cause for some excitement but otherwise I fear the next 2 cookie cutter tracks will provide more of the same single file racing...but at least it did stay mostly green and end legit.<br /><br />Kurt could make a run the next few races - he has been wicked good on 1.5's and at Lowes this year...but JJ's in the catbird seat again!klvalushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013035051062088498noreply@blogger.com
