I’ve gone from “NASCAR in Chicago is a dumb idea” to “let’s do this again next year (but not July 4 weekend)”
@sglassmeyer was it enjoyable? I still mentally categorize this as a joke
@briankung I enjoyed watching it and I’m not a race fan. Definitely the crashes and potential for crashes made it exciting, plus varied track lay out. My dad and brother go to the Indy 500 every year and that seems deadly boring to me.
@sglassmeyer hmm okay, that’s promising! I’ll keep an open mind if it happens again sometime, thanks!

@sglassmeyer interesting that the winner was a Supercars champion from New Zealand. Supercars are kind of like NASCAR in Australia if NASCAR ran real racecars.

@emasters ah! Dad suspected he must have experience from some type but we weren’t sure/missed that tidbit. Amazing he won on his first NASCAR race though.

Anyway, I’m window shopping for a “Raise Hell, Praise Dale” shirt now.

@sglassmeyer next week they're running down here at Atlanta, at night. Good seats are still available.
