    We've covered enough NASCAR events to know our way around.

    The in-car/bumper cams look really choppy. The COT has to be a lot tougher to drive, based on that evidence.

    No debris caution needed this time.

    Hamlin got screwed. NASCAR didn't need to throw that caution. Nine times out of ten, that caution doesn't get thrown in a similar situation. NASCAR must love the fact they at least had a small justification to throw a yellow that late in the race.

    Classy interview by Mr. Busch. He only said "sucks" twice - cripes.

    Most NASCAR events are like trailer parks.

    I'd hate to disagree with you, but I've been to too many races. Thing is, I'd rather go to a NASCAR race than anything else, because at least the fans know the drill. The Indy 500 is a nightmare because it's an event more than it is a race and it's filled with people who have either never been to a race, only go to this one, or have never been to any race and have no idea what they're doing or where they're going. Kind of like dealing with the lower ring at a St. Louis Rams' game...
     
  9. May have been the placement?

    It looked to me like the rear bumper cams were closer to the other cars and may have been on the wings of the car?

    Actually, he's from a fairly well-to-do family in Vegas. Plus, he's 20. He's supposed to say stupid things...them's the rules...

    Mark Martin said on MRN (or was it PRN?) today that in his mind, the most significant difference between COT and the other cars is the suspension was drastically cut back on the COT. That might play into choppy cams?!
