What element about it is stupid? The fact that guys can't brake and overshoot the chicane, that they overcook it and spin or run off in any number of places? Happens at all the road courses, some of the best racing as well. Ovals are too well regulated with cookie cutter cars. Put a back of the pack driver in a top-tier car and put the top-tier driver in a back of the pack car, they will swap ends of the field.
Every race where are aerodynamics make a difference, as soon as a front pack driver gets a dent on a fender or a quarter panel, his car goes to heck. It's not about the guy behind the wheel it's about the car that's under him.
Short tracks, night races and road courses. Sunday afternoon competes with every other major sport in America from February through November. NASCAR lost when Gordon and Earnhardt Jr retired, Jimmy Johnson never won a championship the old-fashioned way, and the rest of the guys are about as cookie-cutter as they come or whiny babies that seem to grab the media attention.
