I enjoyed the experience. The 100 year old vet that sang the National Anthem was awesome. You could hear the pride in that man’s voice. I went in knowing nothing of the sport and left disappointed. Disappointed because as the race wore on I noticed the 45 car was kind of lingering around. He was in a good spot. I thought he was gonna make a push for a top 2 or 3 finish if not winning the damn thing outright. And then with less than 30 laps to go he got spun out by some limp dick who apparently took driving lessons at the Anne Frank School for the Blind. The fact that he was sitting fourth, got clipped, and finished 23rd was insane to me. All because some driver couldn’t handle his shit. I was absolutely gobsmacked by the number of cars that came into the pit that looked like they were done (broken axle, body damaged beyond repair, etc) but the crew would get it all back together and the car would leave the pit looking like nothing happened. The facilities at the track itself reminded me of a high school football game. A lot of basic food choices. No real fan interactivity. Feels like some modernization is due.
