Ended up being a boring race.

This was my very first race I've been too. Stayed in Carl's pit for about 45 laps. Crazy shit, Vince Vaughn was in Edwards pit box today. Got Edwards and Vaughn's autograph. Here are some pics I took today.

Sorry you had to see a boring race.

In58men 03-25-2012 05:46 PM

Didn't bother me one bit, driver took 5th today. Good points race.

While I was happy that Tony won, I do feel bad for the fans getting shortchanged by the rain. Glad to hear you still had a good time.

I just got back from the race. Going to races is ALWAYS fun, but I have to say that today was definitely a downer. All green flag racing? It was so obvious to me that NASCAR knew there was absolutely NO WAY they were going to finish the race, so they half-assed it just to get it off the calendar.

I get it, though. California is rarely an interesting race, and the viewership/attendance has steadily declined. I wish they just would have waited until tomorrow and run the whole thing. But I'm just a fan who had a day off tomorrow, too. :D

I watched only 30 minuets of the race. I had a good time in pits, watching and listening to everything they was saying. Pretty cool to be 3 ft from Edwards pit crew.

That WOULD be awesome. Sure beats sitting next to a drunk and nearly-passed out Jeff Gordon fan.

I don't think that track normally produces very many cautions anyway. It's big and wide enough that contact is pretty minimal and there's plenty of room to pass. I bet the drivers love it though.

True. But I would be they would have manufactured a few of those "debris cautions" like they do most other races.

And you're right, it's wide open...5 wide at points.

Bugeater 03-25-2012 08:46 PM

The 5 wide makes for great restarts, but that's about it.

Funny that you mentioned you was there because when my buddy and I was leaving i pointed out a white truck with a Chief logo on the back window. It was a good time.
