130 Laps to go...what else is on TV?

Is it just me, or is tonight's Bristol race almost boring? Ragan just spun to bring out the yellow flag, but other than the FedEX car catching on fire there hasn't been a whole lot of the usual Bristol action that we're used to seeing.

Blame it on Bristol changing the banking and that everyone is patient over the chase deal just 3 races away.

wow, Rudd just tagged the wall pretty hard. Jimmy Johnson hit him then it looks like his car roughed up JPM's just a little bit.

By far the most boring race ever. I live for Bristol, if I was a fan there I would be wanting my money back. That was terrible, coverage was even worse.

I finally had enough with the broadcast crew. So, I watched it and turned on PRN radio on the computer and cranked it up! Much better than hearing Rusty. His voice is like nails on a chalk board.

Im so tired of hearing Rusty talk about "dirty air" hes one of the worst commentators ever... race got pretty interesting towards the end.. Harvick wrecked someone instead of Montoya wonder what Montoya will say about that since Harvick commented on him wrecking last night... Jr had a Memphis hat on in the post interview

You're one smart person, by far the worst Nascar broadcast ever tonight. Did they even show the wrecks. I mean, I know half of them were Ragan spinning to the inside but they showed nothing, except your top 3 cars all night.

My brother in law was there with his son and his friend.He is a huge Gordon fan.He took a camper and all. Too bad the race was dull.

That was probably the worst Bristol race I've ever seen. The fact that the drivers were excited to race at Bristol and looking forward to it before the race was a bad sign. The racing was boring. I think they had the right idea in resurfacing the track, but they made it too much like Dover... it looked more like a mile track instead of a little half-mile bullring.

Yeah really, the thing that makes Bristol exciting is the fact that it's one groove and that you have to move someone to pass them. Last night was garbage. It may have been great racing deep in the pack but ESPN only focused on the top 2 or 3 all night.

you people have lost your minds. lost it.

that was the best Bristol racing i have ever seen there. 3 or 4 rows of 2 and 3 wide racing. amazing. they did an awesome job on the new surface.

shoot, even the Busch race was great, and that's usually a snooze fest. i got some great pics i'll put soon.

But it was kind of hard for us to see any racing action since ESPN didn't show anything out of the top 3 all night. It was the worst covered race ever.

let's face it, the racing near the front wasn't that great. you no longer have to move someone out of the way to pass them there... isn't that what made Bristol so famous?? they had a piece on ESPN about the bump-and-run, which is what most people remember about Bristol in the past. 10 years from now, nobody will ever remember this Bristol night race.

doozer, by the way, Kurt Busch Motor Speedway???
