I agree with you - it was the restrictions that killed the race. But some of these were perfectly understandable - it is, after all, a very small oval by 250+mph standards and it's built on top of REAL bricks. Either you restrict the technology to keep it on the course - literally - or you change the course to keep up with the technology. To a degree that is what NASCAR has done.

"Either you restrict the technology to keep it on the course - literally - or you change the course to keep up with the technology."

Exactly.

That's a good way of saying that the track (hence the race) is passe now.
