I've spent my entire life in the automotive industry. I actually used to work for one of the most well known and successful Nascar team owners...and now I'm sharing some of the things I picked up along the way.
@@lilanthony21O_ same here. Fun fact, I'm sitting in the stands by the start finish line at the EA Sports race at Dega in 02...wreck free race at Dega. First time I went to a race track of any kind
That Bristol night race was an absolute classic in 2002. I think it doesn’t get as much love as it deserves. All the tempers and the iconic finish between notorious rivals. It just checked all the boxes for a legendary race.
@@ryanmorrison3699 i just wish Marcus would bite the bullet and reconfigure the track back to how it was prior to the 07 reconfiguration. They completely ruined the track and now they try to bring it back by putting sticky crap on the low groove....just repave the track already
@@therobbinsnest45 To be fair, the old configuration was usually just a freight train down on the bottom. At least the sticky stuff gives us two grooves to run. Not as much knocking people out of the groove anymore, but Bristol is definitely the best short track on the calendar now because of these two grooves.
@@ryanmorrison3699 I mean for actual racing, I completely agree. But that place had a two year waiting list for tickets prior to 07, people want to see the beating and banging. I mean the second Bristol race in 04 went green forever, to the point Harvick got out of his car and KP replaced him. I mean you can buy an entire section of grandstand tickets at the gate on race morning nowadays. I would just sacrifice the two groove stuff for what sold tickets, just my opinion
@@ryanmorrison3699 but then again, the current leadership in Nascar is about as incompetent as they come. Marcus can't really just make those decisions without their input, so nothing will change any time soon
@@ryanmorrison3699 that was the best lineup in Nascar history, hands down. Wally is my favorite commentator and he gets zero credit for how good he actually was
