    The fact that Mark, a complete outsider, was able to recognize how BS that last caution was is telling of how terrible NASCAR officiating really is.

      Kyle's been dragging that baggage around since he was a kid in Vegas. He discovered that wearing the black hat fits him. It's been his motivating force in every division in NASCAR. He also readily admits he's an a**hole, albeit one with 2 Cup Championships and still a realistic championship contender.

    it was a fun event. besides meeting you in person, the most exciting thing that happened was when Rowdy was slowing down after the start/finish line and then all of a sudden he gets run over by Chastain. that happened right in front of the Grandstand section i was sitting in. it happened so quick too. but it was a fun time.

    A very cool thing to do for a friend. Over the years I've probably took a dozen or so noobs who became fans. All sports are very different in person but I don't remember much of my pro first baseball or basket ball game but I still vividly remember my first car race. The 1971 Laguna Seca Can Am which Peter Revson won in a McLaren (of course). This is so long ago they still used haybales.

Now I've taken him to Talledega the past 3 years with hopes of going back to Bristol or go to Daytona. By the way, he is a big Denny Hamlin fan. I also took a girl to her first Nascar race at Nashville Superspeedway!

    I’ve been to one race, it was at Texas Motor Speedway in about … 2008? Maybe, I think Jeff Burton won. My buddy who brought me had a cousin in the leadership of the NASCAR and we had garage passes, hot pit passes, and victory lane passes. We even got our own pic with the trophy and winning driver.
    Funny story on the race, I was walking up and down the pits and somehow found myself in one of the exits to the garage just as Kyle Busch had wrecked and was pissed and driving to the garage for repairs. The seas parted and he was headed straight toward me. His front left fender missed my knee by about 18 inches. I could only imagine this idiot novice getting ran over in his first race.
    An amazing experience for a novice. The NASCAR guys asked if I was coming back and I said “No, how could any return trip match this day?”

    Bottom line is being at the race track can b fun for anyone, it takes a special interaction or experience to cement a new fan! Whichever driver stops & talks a bit & signs thier merch gains a fan and gives that fan a vested routing intrest...that's how a fan is born...my kids are 4th generation nascar fans, I expect the 5th generation at track by 2025 2030 at latest lol(my oldest 20, then 18 yr twins graduating fri...all 3 doing military service)....couldn't disagree more with shorter races/ punish core fanbase cause millinials have a tragically short attention span!
