Another factor to consider is that about 15 years ago you pretty much had to watch a race live or be in attendance if you really wanted to know what happened. You can now watch highlights on youtube before the race is even over, see constant social media updates, and see live scoring online. There's just no need to sit and watch an entire race if you have anything better to do.

good riddance, place should be firebombed


it's the cars & "major level" series putting on a bad racing product, not the track.

This track is great, but you need close car performance to have close racing. The 78 and 18 were on their own pace.

Also, this grease thing doesn't belong here, it's supposed to be hard to pass, it was great those double-file restarts and everyone fighting for one lane.

Yeah. Track is great. Cars suck.

The Modifieds put on a better show at this track than the "Big 3" series. That should tell you something.

Nah New Hampshire blows. The modified races are pretty good sometimes, but they put on a good show pretty much everywhere. Good riddance, I say.

You really prefer another cookie cutter over this?

I'd prefer an off weekend over New Hampshire.

New Hampshire calls itself a "short track" but races like a boring 1.5 mile track.

It's actually fun to race on (virtually). But yeah, it's hit and miss.

Always seems NH has one decent race and one bad race a year. With one race next year, it'll be a coin flip that will mostly land on bad. I went to the race this weekend and the experience there is great but I imagine the race was brutal on TV.
