Enjoyable to watch it was. Attrition is part of the game. Winning ugly still beats losing pretty.

On a different note, I saw that the track had a gravel "bridge" off of Turn 4 leading into the true infield. They used to race boats there if I am correct. When did that bridge get laid down? Any boat race there now would look like something out of the James Bond movie, "Live and Let Die".

Also, tell the boys they did fine with the commentary, Richie. And as someone pointed out in a parallel Ted Horn 100 thread, Drake in the pits would have been a great addition for said attrition. <-- A rare moment of poetry for me.
