Food City Dirt Race at Bristol | Extended highlights from Bristol Motor Speedway | NASCAR

[@NathanielPuente]

Good race; glad I got to see it in person. I don’t understand why these highlights don’t show Larson’s two wrecks, those were pretty pivotal moments.

[@stephenfisher4846]

I’m usually poking around Reddit on race day, and I consistently notice a discrepancy between TV viewers and attendees. What I’ve realized is between myriad commercials, sponsored segments, and showing two cars fighting, Fox misses a chunk of action. Hopefully NBC does better and Fox either vastly improves their team in the off season, or simply looses the rights.

[@jok3r906]

Because it paints the sport in a negative light... Like with Clint yelling "Mike" like a seagull from Finding Nemo

[@andrewsmith2973]

Dirt is NASCAR's only hope. What a shithole it has become

[@xXE4GLEyEXx]

The camera constantly missed most that happens. Someone was a bit slow today.

[@codyferrell1031]

No.. its like the entire network team or something. Noticed every sport highlight(s) that Fox covered in the past year or two has been botched in someway, shape, or form... smh The World Cup (soccer) highlights last year were atrocious... License the biggest sporting event in the world... and fudge up the coverage. Makes no sense!!

[@whogavehimafork]

Honestly it seems like the filmography has been generally bad for a while now. Like they got college freshmen interns on all the cameras.

[@jebediahgentry7029]

Fox has got to do better. There's no excuse for them missing so many shots week after week

[@laudennn]

they know what we all do -- it just doesn't matter. you'll keep watching, & you'll keep complaining. nascar. now what does dale jr's marketing arm of nascar startup podcaster think about this

[@twrecks4598]

Looked like the stands were a quarter empty the whole race. I remember a few years ago that place was PACKED with fans. As a former local racer, I REALLY like the idea if you cause a caution to come out, you get sent to the back... I think that would temper a lot of this nonsense of just dumping each other on the track.

[@RHovis]

I think the dust and dirt was a huge factor plus being easter weekend were huge factors in the track emptiness.

[@terks43]

Far closer to quarter full then quarter empty. That's absolutely pathetic attendance. Needs to go down to 1 date a year.

[@jackpotg-larz7445]

Yes NASCAR is liberal now. A sport once for passionate blue collared drivers, mechanics, and fans. Is now, a show with rich, diverse kids being handed cars to entertain people who don’t like watching racing. That’s why theirs no one in the stands, and the only people enjoying it are the people watching 12 minutes highlights on Monday.

Look like Nascar can't even fill Bristol. Not a good sign. If you are a Nascar fan dirt shouldn't be a reason to not go.

[@jackpotg-larz7445]

Bristol is a concrete half mile short track. If they want a dirt track. Race at a dirt track, or make one. This is not dirt racing. This is NASCAR crying for attention becuse no one likes the sport anymore.

[@Irritate]

doc hudson wouldnt be proud, also either learn to call a caution or suspend briscoe

[@smalls3187]

Suspend a driver for a racing incident. That makes zero sense. Also a caution wasn’t called as no one was hit and Blaney continued. NASCAR did that all night. Or should they have thrown a caution on every spin?

Can we stop this now. Stop the gimmick races, stop the whole Chase nonsense, end stage racing & go back to the late Winston Cup series format. A traditional points system & from start to finish. If you wanna adjust the points system to reward winning, that’s great but keep consistency somewhat of an important factor too. Lastly, stop with the weird door numbers & give teams more control over their own cars again. stop the splitter crap & let teams adjust the way they want too. Stop this all cars need to look somewhat all alike & all meet the same specs, nonsense. Go back to 5 lug Tyres. Maybe even bring in another tyre manufacturer. Give teams a choice. Just my opinion.
