It's at night, so I expect quite a bit

Also NASCAR will bunch 'em up all the time, so there won't be time for them to spread out

Ah, it's a night race this time? Change for this year? Or it was a rain delay in 2018?

Anyway, nice.

I started enjoying the races again when I deleted the whatsapp groups that change the profile pic to the race winner asap. And thus, besides daytona and one or two races that I watched live. I went the first 22 rounds always getting the winner spoiled somehow.

Then, I also spent WAYYY to much time making a huge box score. Like following 25 drivers, noting their positions before and after every caution and then some.

Then Watkins Glen came and I got spoiler of Kyle Busch being taken out, and hey, that must have been a fun race to watch. Just put it to run with no pause to take notes, and it was way better.
Last week at Indy was a good one to not pay much attention, just watch the restart, the replay of the wrecks and then back to doing whatever you were doing.

Anyway, this one might be something. As now they really go, during the chase. Remember last year, the chase Vegas race was wayyy different than the first one in the year. Most got mad cause of the chase and started doing mistakes. One race to keep an eye on.

More of an evening race, anyway. Race starts at 4:00 local time, so it probably won't even be dark by the finish.

Concerning to see a truck reach a pit stall at that speed after a pretty standard spin.

I find amusing that they don't even tried to make "fake crowds", they just turned the grandstands into a big landfill that increases in size year by year

If holograms can bring Michael Jackson and anime girls to life on stage, they can easily "sell out" a NASCAR race with a few thousand fakes in the stands.
