Let me tell you something about atlanta motor speedway..I walked up to the ticket booth sunday morning and asked for a ticket in winners section,lower lever and away from the crowd since half of the seats were gonna be unsold..The ticket lady said no problem and I paid my 95.oo bucks and went to my seat..It seemed like there was nobody in the grandstands till the driver introductions started and

AMS is as great as it ever was. Why do so many personalities in NASCAR seem to think that NASCAR can be successful if boring drivers, driving identical cars, manage to finish close to each other? <BR/><BR/>Their cars are boring now. I’m happy the drivers have safer cars to drive. Keep the safety. But, NASCAR used COT as an excuse to micromanage out all of the interesting differences between cars.

I was there and I think the race was a good one, whether it's a cot car or not, it all comes down to who is prepared the best, all 43 drivers are some of the best in the world and yes money does have a lot to do with the result. But that doesn't detract from all the drivers trying their best every race. Boring, not in my eyes, with only a few cautions the cream comes to the top! As far as the

Have you ever tried to get out of the Atlanta track after a Cup race?<BR/><BR/>It takes 2-3 hours just to get out of the parking lot next to the track!

Good post. Good to have you back in circulation. I've always tried to be an optimist, but yesterday's race was a real disappointment. I've seen more excitement on the Home Shopping Network. <BR/>At least we had SOME excitement at the end, and it's nice to see someone other than the same three guys in victory lane, but man....thank God Bristol is up next.

I have to agree with anonymous, very boring race, and yes, with the COT's, seems those up front are easily to stay up front. A long time nascar fan friend of mine said, AMS races are always boring. I did not notice it until this week. Between all the rules now, and the COT's do you think that contributes to empty seats in Atlanta? TG I found Jerry and his online live chat!!!

Its sad to see such a small crowd at AMS. But I think the two dates will stay on the schedule. With so many corporate HQs located in the Atlanta area, these races provide NASCAR and the teams one of their best B2B venues.

I watched the race on my 52" TV and apparently saw a different race than you did. The wayward tire caution jumbled up the field and a couple of Jr. cautions made the race less than exciting. NA$CAR has apparently determined that exciting races mean a green/white/checkered finish is necessary for "exciting" finishes. The talking heads keep telling us how exciting everything is regardless of the
