It’s hard to believe it when they go forever with no wrecks but every single race they just happen to wreck now? I’m just not convinced, and if the explanation by others is because that’s when the drivers “go for it”?? This is stock car racing. Your racing to be the best lap after lap. I’m quite bothered how it seems they go about things now it’s all about surviving to make it to a two lap shootout and it’s just not something I think is good for the sport only for people who are too concerned with the perfect photo finish for every race. Almost as if nascar is nerfing drivers because we all know Kyle and Kyle would likely win over half the races every season, that is if busch can ever finish a race this season.

The repave and increase banking is fine, where they screwed up is narrowing the racing surface. Should have kept the old width. And yes kurt no plates.

[@jacobevenson8702]

The issue for them was it was either more banking and a narrow racing surface, or the same banking and wider surface, and they really wanted that extra banking. Increasing the banking and keeping the track just as wide would require moving the outside walls. Kinda the same thing with Texas (just in the opposite way) when they decreased banking so it widened the track in turns 1 and 2.

[@ScottXC91]

They had to narrow the surface because they didn’t want to move the walls. The only way to increase banking without moving the walls is my narrowing up the racing surface and creating a shorter distance from the apron to the wall. Which leads to a higher banking angle.

This doesn't need to be the blueprint for every single track, but a lot of the "traditional" 1.5 milers have been snoozers over the years. The Coca Cola 600 has been one that has fallen victim to that, 2015 and 2016, especially. When one driver leads almost every damn lap, something needs change, whether it's the package or whatever. I think the new car will help with on-track action on 1.5 milers, as Vegas was pretty good for the first time in several years.

[@connorhale599]

Not a fan at all, much prefered vegas and auto club where the drivers were wheeling the things. Flat out pack racing is fine at Daytona and Talladega but turning everthing into this is not the way forward. We literally just got rid of the 550 for this very reason.

But the 550 package didn’t even deliver this type of racing. They’ll still be wheeling them at other mile and a half’s.

A guy like Kyle Larson is penalized in this bullshit racing. His talent is diminished because this was a restrictor plate race plain and simple. Atlanta is 1.5 miles it should come down to who sets the car up best and what driver is best at pushing his car that day. This sets a precedent Atlanta was a restrictor plate race today, 1st one in Nascar history not named Daytona or Talladega... Damn shame because Atlanta had some of the closest, best finishes in Nascar History.

Kyle Busch just deflates everyone lol

[@sirmonkey1985]

tbh he's going to get chastised whether he did his interview normal or the way he did it there since you're required by nascar to do the interview and we already knew he wasn't a fan of the track change when it was announced so theres your KB middle finger to nascar without pissing off the sponsors.

[@mattsimon6926]

Lol they aren’t race car drivers anymore..they are sports entertainers..”superstars”

[@slipstream7324]

Parachute spoiler = hard to pass

[@coldhardart]

"pretty wild out there" meaning I don't want to say anymore then that about the subject

[@Mac-td7lt]

Chastain Army marching forward!

[@chuckfinley4757]

60 lead changes but yet it's hard to pass.

[@michaelmiguelicutti2829]

yes because you need someone pushing you to make it happen.

[@jetsteeltherealdeal7827]

Kyle Busch is a big baby

[@BogattheMoon]

It was pretty wild.

[@Aaron25thinfantry]

I hope Nascar listens ..I agree 💯. Kyle was Kyle

[@darrinwhitaker8820]

I can’t stand the media’s stupid question

[@wizskinz9987]

I respect Kurt Busch a bit cuz he’s matured a lot but never really give a crap what the Busch brothers say especially Kyle. Don’t even try to tell me you’d rather watch a normal Atlanta race over that cuz you’re kidding yourself. It was a good race. I think we really need more short tracks but gotta give credit to Atlanta because that race was getting worse and worse glad they could change things up, and as Ross said, don’t add anymore of these

[@vaughnstarr1232]

Does Ross have a lazy eye?

[@sparkieT88]

i thought that too

[@sphishex6084]

Get rid of the RP, give em all 800+ hp, and let them be drivers again

[@elr2141979]

That's what I would say but NASCAR wants to be in the entertainment business not in the racing business.

[@tomg8673]

Holy Hell! Bubba’s sense of humor is undeniable! Such a funny token 😄😂😄😄😁

[@connorbingel7134]

Kyle is such a cry baby. Literally every other driver was respectable. Even Kurt was willing to work with the media

[@jdmforever5583]

Funny the media keep asking him the same old dumb questions, besides he answered their questions

[@tahoefisher5311]

Loved new atlanta race.

[@teamgmotorsports]

They better fine bubba like they have every other driver for that f-bomb!!! Favoritism and bias if they don’t!!!

[@richl9623]

If Bubba would learn to pick a lane when it comes down to go time he'd not get himself jacked up. When he's in the lead the dude spends to much time trying to block. Not hating on the guy but till he stops panicking and blocking like he does he's always going to come up short.

[@Nnubbs]

I want a blaney sound bite lol

[@mrirace926]

Dude Kyle Busch was pissed. LOL

[@georgefleming6058]

I agree with the assessment that you can't pass easy enough that came from several of the drivers they took an Atlanta Track that was unique in comparison to any other track in the country and in my opinion they screwed it up completely I got tired of seeing this style of racing how boring it was and I actually cut the race off NASCAR continues to basically kill my interest newer is not always better

[@johncarter1137]

It wasn't a good race. It was a good show, if you like that sort of thing. It was good entertainment but not good racing. I'm coming from a driver's standpoint when I say it wasn't good racing. It's not good racing when the leader has to feather the throttle to stay in the lead. I know that happens at the other two super speedways but they are wide enough for it not to cause a problem most of the time while Atlanta is narrow and all it does is cause wrecks but that's what most "fans" want to see now days.

[@robertb203]

Well, also "coming from a drivers standpoint" I can say that it was good racing. I don't want to see a bunch of cars get wadded up 3 times a race, but the door to door racing is exciting. These races are 400 or 500 miles long... I don't want to see 1 car run 4 seconds ahead of every one else for 500 miles. I want to see 5 cars come off turn 4 on the last lap, and not know for sure who'll cross the line first. Ideally, pack racing without the wrecks would be perfect. Lots of lead changes, and nail biting finishes.

[@vincesmith764]

Next race just put a cougar in the car Ricky.!

[@stephenlukovich9648]

Don’t need 6 super speed ways. Ide like to see with the high horse power. Than decide till the pavement breaks in.

[@turdferguson7503]

How old will Kryle Busch be when he finally starts to act like an adult?

[@styxx0500]

So Kurt or Kyle Busch drops an F bomb and the world loses it but Race Baiter Bubba drops an F bomb and nobody bats an eye..... Nice to see consistency in NASCAR

[@bigrooster6893]

When the asphalt starts aging it will be impossible to run wide opening.

[@MrBurney12]

They ran wide open around Charlotte in winter testing with the same package. If they won't give them at least 670 hp it won't change much

[@darinlapointe]

Could there be a worse personality than Kyle Busch?

[@nathannonneman1531]

So the drivers mostly hate it. Well big whoop. Nascar is a business that's struggling and needs more entertainment value. The NFL is a sports powerhouse and still changes the rules to make it more exciting to watch. If you wanna get the younger generations to spend their money on tv and tickets you gotta have something that interests them.

[@D1aNdOnLyNiCkx3]

Not a fan Atlanta was much faster now its wide open at 180 slowwwwww come on nascar

[@cupchamp5]

Keep the pack racing at Daytona and Talladega. They ruined a good track at Atlanta and made it into something it's not. 😡.This track sucks!!!

[@BalotelliFan713]

Never change Kyle
