Oh, it's 107 LAPS. I thought it was the 107th CAUTION.... My mistake.
The 48 just wrecked the 17. What a dipknit.
The 18 is a bit shorter now.
Well well well, the 78 and the 18 tried to share the same spot of asphalt. Scary wreck for the 78 with all the fire.
Announcer : "That's either fuel or oil causing that fire under the 78!".... Gee, ya' think?
Nice to see Toyota self-destruct. Go Chevy.

I am convinced there are certain races where they know a lot of casual fans will be watching so they dumb down the broadcast a bit. Kinda like when you go to church on Christmas and Easter and the priest explains what is going on for all the CEO (Christmas and Easter Only) Catholics.

I agree and changed the channel.

Hard hits for both Clint and KuBu. Clint was actually lucky he hit Kurt and not the attenuator.
20+ years ago I never missed a NASCAR race. Saw 10 minutes of this and turned on the Decades channel to watch old Mission Impossible episodes. Bring back real racing and I will come back. The empty seats seem to agree.

Prophetic. Could also say,
Don't race with he 10.
Don't race with the 48.

Amateur Hour.
Our saving grace may be darkness in 45 minutes.

Yeah, it's gotten pretty pathetic. I can't believe they think this will, "improve" the sport. If they don't get rid of, "Stage Racing" and, "Competition Cautions", along with that whole stupid, "Restart Zone", NASCAR is finished. It very well may be even if they do. It seems they're have record cautions at most every race lately.

The end was a complete joke. The supposedly 40 best drivers can't manage a restart without tearing multiple cars up, multiple times!!!!

NASCAR had better smarten up here real quick. I can't believe attendance at the Brickyard 400, (One of it's premier races), has dropped from over 200,000 to under 75,000 in just a few short years. I know the economy isn't the best, and you can't blame NASCAR for that. But come on, it's not THAT bad to justify this. It seems every idiotic thing they try to "improve" the sport, only makes it worse.
Are they honestly dumb enough think people are going to pay top dollar, to sit in the stands, only to end up watching drivers in 200+ MPH cars, follow a pace car around the track for half of the afternoon...... Just so they can sell more television advertising time? Go back 20 years and you only saw a caution flag after a bad wreck. And the crews cleaned it up FAST, and got back to green flag racing in just minutes. Now it seems like they've got 20 guys out there in 10 trucks, F'ing around for what seems like forever. They're on borrowed time if they don't fix this.... And fix it FAST.
