That being said.. He probably got more exposure for his sponsor than he would in 10 races.
Again, NASCAR is just shooting themselves in their own foot.
The series needs guys like Josh Williams. Hamlin/Chastain, etc...
But I fear that drivers will be concerned of getting hammered by NASCAR if they step out of the cookie cutter mold that NASCAR has forced all the drivers into.
We know that a lot of these drivers are in their ride due to sponsorship money. There are many better drivers out there, with personalities that would take NASCAR to the next level. But without money, they can't get noticed. The current stable of drivers therefore are afraid to lose their sponsor/ride.
I understand that NASCAR does not want to become the next WWE. So far this year the racing has been less than exciting for 90% of the race. NASCAR has to do something and the cheapest way right now is to unleash the drivers.
I'm for redoing T 1 at COTA. Who builds a race track with a 120º turn (or whatever it is) at the end? I think there's an airport track that Indy Car runs at that has a 90 at the end that narrows down to race tack width after runway width. Same choking happens.

I agree!!
What a "crashfest" that race turned into, in the last few laps/restarts. Between those melees, and the almost 4PM EST starting time, I finally gave up on it, and just turned the TV off. As much as a rabid, life long race fan that I've been, I do NOT want to be watching a race that's still on, at 7PM, on a Sunday!!
I wouldn't say COTA was a great race, I actually got up and did some other stuff intermittently.
Highlights IMHO.
Reddick and Byron class of the field with KB and Bowman showing up at the end. Byron blew the race by poor lane choice.
Speaking of restarts, it is the best track on the circuit going into turn 1.
Wallace confirmed that he should in fact be replaced, first Kurt and now Reddick who didn't see this coming.
Chastain was being usual Chastain only this time it effected his teammate, looked like they had a little disagreement after the race. Speaking of which I always find it humorous to see Saurez acting indignant. If I'm a driver the last 2 guys, I want to be racing around are those 2 clowns.
Kyle Larson... is this the same guy that won a championship?
Blaney is well on his way to confirming he doesn't belong in that quality equipment.
The broadcast booth.
What's with the German guy? Does NASCAR think they have to have a foreign accent now?
Ill take it over Danica.
That being said, Kurt Busch belongs in the booth he was excellent! Just tried too hard just a couple of times and the getting choked up about Reddicks team... but that aside, I think he was Great!
Boyer seemed somewhat quieter which was nice.
Also thought having Chases input was good.
At the end of the day Willy B is still the best team in NASCAR right now.

There were too many people in the booth.. Kurt was fine.. Kurt's quite good.. Though his Dr Evil at the end was a bit weird. "That's my boy!"
Having Chase remotely, then Clint AND Steiner? Way, way overloaded. multiple times they were talking all over each other.. Sometimes it'd take 5 minutes to get their point across just waiting their turn to talk. And.. Steiner was.. Eye Candy. Just to have an F1 guy in the booth. Which is fine.. But let him talk more.
I thought the race was excellent.. Other than being a race that never ends. Turn 1 is.. Turn 1. It's been that way the several years they've been going there. I was impressed that they kept it together, more of less, for the majority of the race.
Reddick was the strongest car and deserved to win. I kept thinking he'd get nailed in one of those late restarts.

Tony Stewart was suppose to in the booth, he wasnt but I never looked as to why, nor do I care. I watched maybe 10 minutes of it, had more imortant things to do, which is becoming more and more of a "thing" for me now. These races just plain suck this year to me.
