Another Weekend and Another Boring NASCAR Race

2011 NASCAR Sprint Driver At Bristol


Bristol Raceway, the fastest 1/2 mile track in the world. Side by side racing, or so goes the advertising for the Bristol 400, the NASCAR boring race of the week. Fans should sue for false advertising.
Other than a couple of love taps and a Mark Martin wreck, there was little side by side racing other than the restarts, little passing and few cautions. NASCAR was so desperate for a caution, they threw the yellow flag for page of a newspaper. And those running to get into the Chase, Tony Stewart and Clint Boyer raced like they didn't want to be there. Actually, raced is too strong of a term, how about pedaled instead of racing. And I like Stewart and Boyer.
For the record, Brad Keslowski won the race, showing that he should have broke his leg earlier. He has been driving great since he broke his leg, probably because he is concentrating more.
