Two thumbs up!

I personally am fine with the format. I like the Chase and the structure for the most part. They have to call cautions for debris on the track though. Even seemingly-minuscule pieces of debris can cause wrecks. It's a bit frustrating sometimes, but I still love it. Honestly, I feel like the old format needed to be edited and changed, but NASCAR is still NASCAR and racing is still racing. It's always exciting.

They'll throw a caution out if a guy gets turned... even if he gets off the track pretty fast... GRC, F1, GT... you won't see cautions for 1 or even two cars that get turned. That's tough **** for them!

Lost interest after Bill Elliott stopped driving for Evernham, and Jarrett retired.

STARTED watching races - AT the track - when Petty was still winning championships. Plural.

Don't watch it at all! Nascar died in the early 70's when they limited engine displacement, Spoilers/wings (daytona-superbird) And everything else you can think of. What kind of race is that? It should be like NHRA, Who ever gets to the end first wins! I like to to see the old footage of the late 60's early 70's back when it used to be a race.
