I never understood the whole track is bumpy = bad sort of thing. Did it ever ruin the racing or did it just lower the chance at A NEW TRACK RECORD ???????? A car going 190mph looks the same as 195mph. Bring back drivers having to wear mouthguards at Talladega. /rant |

Having some bumps puts things more in the drivers' hands and makes small mistakes more likely which can lead to more passing. What's not to love?? |

Even if a car's going slower, bumps make it look quicker. Bumps are tast. Actually thinking about it, the importance of bumps is way underestimated. Bumps could save NASCAR |

While instead, I bet you that the commentators will fap over "they are bumpdrafting around this place now, this is great!" |

Any given track will be a hair greasier in the day than night, that's a fact but Darlington's legend was built on its surface. Watch the final Southern 500 from 2004, was run at night and the cars were on the ragged edge 99% as much as any day race. |

Yeah, main hauler is already at the track, but the car stayed an extra day at the shop to get it prepped for Atlanta. |

Some Kurt Busch hardcore fan realized that was the hauler of the team Travis Kvapil was driving for this weekend and decided to deal his own brand of vigilante justice by the theory that "If Kurt can't race, that damn Kvapil ain't going to race either!" |
