Broken records, worn tires: Cup Series returns to concrete racing at Bristol | Extended Highlights

[@bubwal23xifan]

54 lead changes. Tire wear and tire management. Drivers having to drive the cars. 5 cars finished on the lead lap. That was a phenomenal show. Way to bring spring Bristol back. This is what short track racing should be with this car

[@JoeDenhof]

BEST RACE I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS! and yes I have watched all races for 20 years. Other then tandem drafting this was GREAT!

[@177racing]

That was bar none the best short track races in the Next Gen era. Hope they don’t ruin the tire for the next race.

Sarcasm?

[@greatness1438]

@@FlopBrosHockeyno I’m being genuine. I genuinely couldn’t look away from today’s race. Let the teams figure out how to get the most out of the tires and leave it be.

👍 They figured it out. It was fun to watch.

Please applaud Goodyear for trying to create falloff and tire management. 👏🏻👏🏻 Obviously it wasn’t anywhere close to perfect, but it was a flashback to the Gen 4 era type racing imo.

I'm pretty sure they said it was the first time in 20 years

​@@MrJohansenYep. Dover 2004 was the last time per Mike Joy.

[@hehe-IgoBRRRR]

My father told me he's been watching for 50 years and he ain't never seen anything like it, which means he absolutely loved it and me too We got one of the best Atlanta races and Bristol races ever in the same season. 2024 is looking to be an awesome year

[@linhunnicutt6556]

That was a much better race on concrete. I love dirt track racing, but it Hass to be on a dedicated dirt track like Eldora. Man that was just fun to watch.

[@alanlawson1263]

They have been putting dirt on bristol for the dirt series for a long time. Problem with the cup cars, their not meant for dirt. Maybe if they would actually build a car made for dirt then it would be worth the shot. They don't have to change the looks of the car, but it needs several modifications. Kyle Larson races om dirt every week an even he spoke out an said he loves the idea. But also that if nascar is going to do it then to do it right. Or just leave dirt to the actual dirt guys

[@darthgamingtv5598]

missing some highlights. Josh berry had a solo spin and kept it going pretty smooth. Nice piece of driving

[@kaz5707]

That last stage was madness

[@N45C4R24]

the first stage

[@AS19Motorsport]

Shoutout to Haley and Grala for running very well for a while; RWR have improved massively

[@cyberhybrid017]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING! Only reason Haley fell off is because his tires gave out at the last 15 laps. He was running in the top 10 consistently, and that’s not something to overlook. RWR may actually win this year

[@tyler92448]

the tire wear and the elimination of the top line was awesome. i hope the tire wear stays maybe make them last longer like 70-80 laps but great race. LOVE THE BOTTOM AT BRISTOL!!!

[@estebanmorales6568]

Not too long ago there was a waiting list for tickets to Bristol. The empty seats and the whole sections that are covered tell a sad story about the decline of this race.

For a Nascar Newbie like mw it's hard to learn the drivers and cars when they change their liverys every week. 😂 not used to that here in Europe. Is there any specific reason for it? Advertising? is it that simple maybe?

[@cyberhybrid017]

Multiple sponsors. Many cars run different schemes and have multiple primary sponsors, and not all of them can fit into one race for a team. That’s what I assume. Nonetheless, it is mainly just advertising. Plus, it makes the field look fresh anyways

[@endstationgaming]

thx, as expected - sponsor reasons. Than i have to learn the doornumbers instead of the liverys 😂

you are wrong this is exactly what short track racing should look like this put a challenge to the teams Goodyear can make a tire that would be perfect for a 125 laps of racing but then that would take a challenge away from the teams Whats funny if you would run this exact race again same everything temp tires clouds and all other factors the teams would be able to set up the cars to last 65 laps on those tires not 45-50 its the challenge of it that made this race so good

That was the dumbest race I’ve seen. So like Daytona drivers had to sit back and ride around so they didn’t use up their tires. Not racing at all. Just have a one lap shootout and call it good. It would be cheaper for the owners.
