just watched the Xfinity race a Charlotte .... just to be clear up front I'm not a fan of road course racing .... if this is race is any example of things to come, they have ruined one of the best ovals on the NASCAR circuit .... it wasn't racing, it was following the leader .... only ONE lead change in the first stage when the leader spun out on his own .... a total of FOUR lead changes during the entire race .... about as much excitement as watching a merry-go-round

To me the road course would be the most fun as a driver, but
as a spectator, they are as boring as watching golf. :lol:

1 lap = 2.28 miles

109 laps = 248.52 mile race

2 different leaders, 1 lead change by the end of stage 1

8 different leaders, 10 lead changes during the entire race (most in the last few laps)

2 lead changes by racing


hate it for the 78 & 48 .... all but the last 10 or so laps were a sleeper
