A usually boring race(because of track layout), raced with boring cars(COT), driven by damn good ole boys with lots of personality.

I wonder if nascrap will ever go back to what made it as great as it once was?

when the stands stop filling up, maybe, but I doubt it..

it’s not a hobby sport anymore, that’s for sure... unless you’re very rich.

I hear yer complaints about NASCAR. I sure miss the '65 to '75 era.

I attended the very first California 500 at Ontario Motor Speedway way back in '70. Indy cars -- Foyt, the Unser brothers, Rutherford, (Mario) Andretti, etc. Al (Sr.) had it won but stripped 3rd gear with a few laps to go and Jim McElreath went on to take the checkered. Blazing hot summer day in the "inland empire" -- triple digits.
