So I have noticed on many NASCAR web sites that "insiders" have placed New Hampshire Motor Speedway on their list of races to kick out of the Chase.
Last week, the track had a sell-out, which in these tough economic times is definitely difficult to do. No, the race wasn't absolutely exciting, but what race is? I found the roung of green flag pit stops with about 50 laps to go last week was really entertaining and interesting. However, the double file restarts really screwed second place and discouraged battling for the lead. This really made the end seem anti-climactic.
I would also like to add that ESPN did a poor job showing all of the racing on the track last Sunday. I watch most of the races on NASCAR RaceView and it adds an interesting dimension to each race.
And if you saw the Whelen Modified Race on SPEED, aside for the many many many many cautions that were brought out, it was a great race.
If you haven't noticed, Fontana and Kansas are other "sub-par" races that are too me less entertaining than the races at New Hampshire are.
