I'll be there all 3 days. Kinda disappointed they aren't running the grand am event anymore though. I wonder how well the 2 car draft will work with the much hotter temps.

The 2-car draft provides a lot of lead changes and stuff, but I hate it for the sole fact that it doesn't depend on the driver anymore to win the race. You need to be pushed. You can't win a race by making your way through a massive pack. Earnhardt gave Johnson the win at Talladega and Labonte did it for Bayne in the 500. And since it's happening for long periods of time, I can't see then pulling a finish like the ones we saw at Talladega with Harvick/McMurray or Keselowski/Edwards.

On the other hand we'll probably see tons of stupid cautions due to people punting each other out of the way. Thought it'd be a cold day in hell when Bristol has fewer yellows than a Superspeedway.

Normally look forward to this weekend, but this 2 car draft shit has really got me disinterested. Just isn't as exciting as pack racing.
