NASCAR: Who Had It Worse Tonight?

NASCAR had a very bad night tonight as there was a massive traffic jam at the Kentucky Speedway and some people who had the tickets didn't get to go to the race and those of us at home had to watch a boring on TNT. I wonder who had it worse?
The traffic jam apparently was epic as ESPN Terry Blount pointed out: This should have been a great day for NASCAR, a new Cup event for the first time in 10 years and a sellout crowd at Kentucky Speedway.
Instead, the entire day was a horrible black eye for the sport at a facility that was completely unprepared for an event of this size and stature.
Traffic jams are normal for a Sprint Cup race. This was not a traffic jam. It was a traffic catastrophe.
For some fans, it's too little, too late. Thousands of fans either never made it or were turned away when they did get here because no parking spots were available.
More than four hours before the race, the bumper-to-bumper madness was backed up more than 15 miles on Interstate 71 north of the track.

To have such a horrible traffic jam is unforgivable. The owner of the trace, Bruton Smith, owns several race tracks including the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He knows what it is like to deal with NASCAR Sprint Cup races. He has the experience to deal with traffic problems and should have had a plan in place to deal with the traffic problems they knew would happen. I know if I were in those lines, I would have been so pissed off that I probably would not have handled it well.
Las Vegas knows how to handle the crowds and if you plan it right, you can get to the race in about an hour from the Strip. On the way home, it takes a little longer, maybe an hour and a half to get to the Strip if you left when the majority of the crowd leaves.
As far as the race goes, it was extremely boring with drivers acting like they were 16 year old year drivers driving with their parents for the first time. There were no exciting moments and no one wanted to pass. All the action happened on pit road.
Not only was the race horrible, TNT did their usual unprofessional and terrible job. If you have even a little bit of ADD, you were not going to like watching the race. There were up to events happening on the screen at one time- advertisements, the race, statistics, other pictures and other things. It is very distracting and not fun to watch. Then when there 6 laps to go, they went inside a car-Sprint Vision or something like that- and so you were about to miss the final parts of the race because of a commercial. But at that time Clint Boyer spun and the announcers missed it at first and had a ho hum reaction to the spin. Just horrible announcing and presentation of the race.
While I feel for the people in Kentucky who got to stuck in traffic, trust me, it wasn't much better watching the race on TV. At least you got to listen to the race and change channels.
