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 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.
