The only downside to that race were the two stage cautions. That was a great and relatively clean race, ton's of strategy with tires. I really enjoyed that one.

William Byron won the truck race at Martinsville...

broadrun96 · 14 Apr 2022, 03:45 (Ref:4106761)

NASCAR going all out with new technology on the new car

Alfisti · 14 Apr 2022, 07:27 (Ref:4106779)

Woooooo neddy!

Next they'll be installing a windscreen wash bottle and pump...

broadrun96 · 14 Apr 2022, 12:13 (Ref:4106824)

And telling us they're the leader in wiper blade and windscreen treatment technology

Alfisti · 14 Apr 2022, 12:35 (Ref:4106827)

Yup! Then KFB will tell us they suck at wash wipes, that they're horrendous. Which on Gibbs vs Hendrick at the moment they probably would be

On another note how long's it gonna be before Ty Gibbs starts getting more hate than the Busch's? Right old teenage temper tantrum at Martinsville.

I watched most of the truck race last night. It was mostly enjoyable.

fieldodreams79 · 17 Apr 2022, 20:41 (Ref:4107087)

There's a church service going on at Bristol. I've already done that today. Let's do something else, FOX and NASCAR.

And contemporary Christian music is straight garbage, FWIW.

broadrun96 · 17 Apr 2022, 22:11 (Ref:4107092)

I am curious what the numbers will be for the broadcast. Although most everyone I know who was dedicated to watching Cup back in Va watched every week, even West Coast races that were on during dinner. If the market this morning is any indication, Easter ain't slowing anything down, busy busy this morning

fieldodreams79 · 17 Apr 2022, 23:23 (Ref:4107096)

Not sure how much they have run on Easter, but traffic market in Decatur / Atlanta vs NASCAR fanbase might not be the best comparison!

Crowd looks pretty rough, as does DW, but not sure how it compares to year's past.

Mud clogs the story so far....

**Adam43** · 17 Apr 2022, 23:47 (Ref:4107099)

I assumed it would be sold out. We’ve just said how we could have gone!

Poor Briscoe. He seems to be the only one who can challenge Larson. At the moment.

fieldodreams79 · 18 Apr 2022, 00:47 (Ref:4107101)

Bollacks. Rain. The stupid stage stoppage caused the vortex to leave Bristol....

**Adam43** · 18 Apr 2022, 01:19 (Ref:4107104)

Clint’s view is it should go back to green to stop the conversation of how scoring works at Bristol. I agree.

That was a rough break. I had to turn those guys off.

Back to green at least!!

It has been a traditional off week, as well as mother's day weekend. It appears attendance took that to heart. But Bristol used to also be HEAVILY given away when I was still in Virginia. You could get packs of tickets almost every day in multiple stations in Roanoke especially for the spring race, Martinsville slightly fewer opportunities but smaller seating bowl I believe.

We were in Avondale Estates today, and I've actually seen more motorsport stuff there that most every place else. Actually seen IMSA, Glickenhaus and stock car stuff, and not all hipsters, at the markets.

fieldodreams79 · 18 Apr 2022, 02:15 (Ref:4107107)

1989 last time they ran on Easter and that was b/c a snow storm delay from Richmond.

Not sure the crowd is much different in the last 5 as this is the first Bristol race I've watched in 10.

I'm enjoying it but I think they should give these guys super late models. Team them up with a World of Outlaws team / driver and do an enduro! 1000 laps / 500 miles! Green flag only driver changes. No lucky dogs. It'll be the Bathurst 1000 of NASCAR

fieldodreams79 · 18 Apr 2022, 02:58 (Ref:4107108)

Effing hell. I watched all this too watch Capt Snothead win? F that.

Well, poop.

**gomick** · 18 Apr 2022, 11:07 (Ref:4107132)

Missed any interviews with Briscoe / Reddick - where they pi$$ed at each other?

Yeah, but 90% of the Cup guys would be the slowest of the field.

And attendance for Bristol has been crazy, was often the sought after ticket and packed especially the night race, now it's like USFL game

Apparently not, if you believe Racer reporting which can be dicey and distinct NASCAR approved tinge to it at times.

https://racer.com/2022/04/18/i-tried...-move-briscoe/

From Briscoe: "I hate that neither of us won, but I think Tyler understood, and he was really cool about it and said he would have tried the exact same thing. He said it was his fault for letting me even get there in the first place.”

And "“If he punched me, he punches me,” Briscoe said. “I get it. I think it was just a racing deal, and we’ll see what he says.”

The conversation was friendly when Briscoe arrived at Reddick’s car. Reddick felt no ill-will toward Briscoe and admitted he would have made the same move. Reddick also put it on himself or allowed Briscoe to erase his lead in the final few laps."

**Adam43** · 18 Apr 2022, 23:03 (Ref:4107205)

Just caught up. Went to bed.

Cool stuff between them at the end. Reddick was too harsh on himself. Briscoe was super nice. And these aren’t criticisms.

At least it wasn’t Lagano that benefited.

fieldodreams79 · 24 Apr 2022, 22:48 (Ref:4107902)

I caught the last stage only . That was actually quite fun to watch! You knew some wrecks were coming but glad they got to the finish.

Alfisti · 24 Apr 2022, 23:09 (Ref:4107906)

Caught up on the Bristol races mid week and have to admit thoroughly enjoyed them.

Just watched 'Dega, and was pleasantly surprised at the fact it didn't resemble a demolition derby. Ross Chastain is really performing well in this new car. Thought Erik Jones might have got 43 to Victory Lane, came up a little short but a great drive.

**Adam43** · 25 Apr 2022, 00:45 (Ref:4107909)

Nice the crashes were kept to a minimum. Felt for Jones.
