NASCAR Official Extended Highlights: 2024 Bristol Night Race

[@zachwalentiny]

NASCAR needs to do something about this next gen car on short tracks. Doesn't matter if it's Richmond, North Wilkesboro, Martinsville, or Bristol. Every short track race is the same now. Nobody can pass because there is no tire wear or speed variance between the cars. Short tracks used to be the best races of the season, now they are the worst. It's absolutely ridiculous.

[@PaperBanjo64]

Damn right! They are the backbone of the sport...Martinsville in April was so bad I became a part time fan after the snoozers at Phoenix, Cota, Richmond then Martinsville and the Daytona 500 this year was really bad too.

I live in Bristol, my family has been going to race since it was built, I literally went there as a baby, the 1st winner I remember is Charlie glotzback, I was about 7 or 8. Seen Earnhardt win is 1st race, seen the best win there, btw Darrel waltrip is the best driver to ever race at Bristol. I can't stand him but dam he was good here. Anyways last night was a disgrace of a race, no passing, no excitement, bad enough they stage race and don't even wear down there tires so they actually have to drive. Then at the Xfinity race the night before, it was the same way, then they kept the caution out for 3 extra laps so dale jr could change helmets, I was listening on the radio to the officials and actually heard them say, hold 1 more lap for the 88 car. I tell you something else, in all the years, I have never seen a car that much faster like the #5 car was, he was playing with the field. They never had a chance to beating him. His motor sounded different than his teammates. He could run anywhere on the track and still be the fastest. Nascar is not racing anymore, it is entertainment

[@DubiousNookie]

Not very entertaining though.

[@TheRealGothicBarbie]

Larson is my driver and im very happy he won. It was a little boring but that's usually how it is once Larson grabs a lead and no one wrecks him to take it. He checks out and starts dominating.

[@lunet1st488]

Can anyone explain to me what makes nascar a hard sport out of general interest, coming from watching f1 which we can all agree is probably the harder sport. A circular circuit would be much easier than Singapore for example. How do the cars also compare to f1 cars performance wise? Seems like a cool motorsport.

[@ericjefferson9684]

F1 cars are engineered to handle in tight turns / high G,s. NASCAR cars are not. They’re heavy, and bulky and don’t handle great. They also race other drivers every lap. Who cares if they’re ovals or not. Ovals lead to better racing which is what fans want to see. I’ve did laps at both Charlotte, and VIR. Ovals aren’t “easy”. “Going in circles” has always been an ignorant statement. Ask SVG how easy it is. Road / street courses are so spread out that fans in attendance are just there to say they went. In short, NASCAR is more about driver vs. driver. F1 is more about the car

[@thomaskrebs8110]

You can take any F1 pilot and he will very likely never win a short track race like Bristol. The US drivers learn to race ovals at a very young age. You need a lot of experience to be good at it. With a little bit of luck SvG will maybe win on a track like Daytona or Talladega in the future but I doubt it that he will win in Bristol, Martinsville or Dover.

For our honeymoon in 2018... before my wife passed away in '21... We went to Bristol... It was her (and my) first NASCAR live race...!! She was an avid Jeff Gordon fan... And for her wedding present...I had literally taken the Dupont Jeff Gordon racing coat off a guy at a bar for $100..!! I took the coat to Bristol and after jumping all kinds of ropes...I managed to get that coat hand autographed by Gordon (who was a broadcaster now) and give it to my beloved Faith... After she passed...I made a very special trip to Charlotte NC (NASCAR Hall of Fame) and donated that coat... It was a once in a lifetime experience at Bristol...(Even though Kyle Busch won...😢)...!! LOVE Bristol short track racing...!!

[@BornIn1500]

I'm sure it meant a lot for you to donate it to the hall of fame, but Gordon still autographs tons of stuff. The hall of fame won't display a signed coat like that. It would be better off in a fan's collection.

Curiously, this is sort of the kind of race that people say they missed, which was long ago very common - one car dominant, lapping much of the field. It's what you got a lot of before stage racing and the homogenization of the cars.
