I enjoyed all of that.

I actually think 100 laps is the perfect length. Everyone is a bit on edge from the get go but it's short enough so that you're not waiting 3 hours for people to give a shit.

Although using this logic, one could suggest that all future races in any series should be limited to 10 laps. :lol:

Back in the late 90s/early 2000s I actually looked forward to the Busch Series races more than the Winston Cup races. One of the big reasons was because of the shorter races. Everyone came out of the gate racing hard because you didn't have time to ride around, and the 2 hour or 2 and a half hour races were just about right. (Unfortunately the racing started to suck because they cut the horsepower with tapered spacers which ruined the racing, they stopped running standalone events at short tracks, ESPN picked up full season coverage, the Cup drivers started stealing all the good rides every single week, and now I just absolutely don't look forward to the Nationwide Series races at all. Thankfully the Trucks have continued to be awesome and took over a bit of my interest right around the time the Busch/Nationwide races started getting crappy.)

jesus christ the lord heavens. I usually like harmonies as well, but it's extremely difficult to pull of with something such as the Star-Spangled Banner

Harmonies are great, if done well.

Danica didn't look amused.

Princess Danica didn't like it, have them taken out back and shot.

So I haven't really kept up over the off season - have there been any changes to the NW cars? Or are we still expecting the tandem bullshit?
