So lets not cry about having to pit in the infield at THAT lets all be happy it is back and will only get better.

Amen to all of that! Like John Hoover said in an earlier post, we were able to see a dispute between two teams and the drama of Bill Rose's team scrambling to get their car back out on the track. These are examples of things that, in the long run, will help fans to appreciate the effort and passion it takes, from all the people behind the wall, to keep these drivers out on the track racing. And seeing more of the total picture makes those race fans tickets a greater value and adds to their race experience. So, even though it will take some extra effort on the part of the teams, this was a move that will benefit both them and the fans, in the long haul.
