I have only one question.no one has liked the brickyard 400 for many years because of follow the leader racing,no entertainment,no intrigue,no suspense.sunday,we had all of that.no one liked that.what exactly is it that you do want.perhaps a space launch at start would satisfy.if the race sunday would have been anyplace else all of the naysayers would have been saying 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗about the event.it never ceases to amaze me.

A dirt track in the infield and a sprint week date

Yep 3/8 dirt track running 410 wing and non at same time as NASCAR race so there would be something to watch and add midgets

I think it was Jud Larson who once told Tony Hulman "Ain't nothin wrong with this place that a foot of dirt wouldn't cure".

Imho, and I watched the whole race, being sick and in front of the t.v., it was a tremendous race. Lots of passing, some dramatic driving moments, lots of non-driving moments, very intense at the end. And extra cool with Kasey winning. Anyone that didn't like that, will never like NASCAR.

It's just a small percentage who like to bash anything other than their narrow vision. I would bet the vast majority of us enjoyed the race. What good does it serve non-wing sprint car racing to put down another form of auto racing? The people who constantly complain on message boards don't represent a majority of anything, especially common sense. However, here at IOW, it is generally good input and a great group of people compared to most other forums.

I would like to see other drivers lead the race besides Jeff Gordon.
Nothing has changed. He led 55 laps.
And came in the pits to fast all the time and no penalty or fine.
