In what has become the mecca of crashes, last weekends Busch series and Nextel Cup series cras filled events have become commonplace at Lowes Motor Speedway. Why are cars crashing at such a high rate? I thought that when the repaved the track last year it would lessen the amount of carnage we saw this weekend. But whether it was the track with grooves cut in it or a track newly paved, the same sad result was played out.
Could it be that Goodyear can't figure out what tire to bring to this race track? Why was turn four such a common place to wreck? It seems that these are questions that may never be answered and it would be a shame because Charlotte was always a great place for a race. Maybe all this talk by track owner Bruton Smith about building a new facility has something to do with it. But it seems very strange that these set of circumstances have exited so long at this track. Oddly enough I didn't hear much being said about the abundance of wrecks from the reporters or for that matter, the drivers!
Well maybe this is what NASCAR wants for the end of the season to compete with baseball and football. In it's own way maybe the excitement of crashing and banging will draw a bigger TV audience. I did happen to notice allot of empty seats in the overhead camera shots, so maybe NASCAR's popularity is taking a hit. Anyway, this NASCAR fan is tired of all the wrecks and wants to see more side by side racing for that Nextel Cup. Get your act together Lowes!!
