My general opinion about the post race fights is that the local law enforcement agencies ought to be making arrests and the local district attorneys ought to be prosecuting assault and battery cases. But then again, I believe exactly the same thing about fights at hockey games. Or basketball games for that matter. But that doesn't happen.

So what we see are youngsters and/or their parents emulating their heroes at some little league something someplace and the DA does throw the book at somebody.

So the cult of violence as entertainment continues.

I have read & heard that the 1979 Daytona 500 was the most watched...in re-run , on tape etc. The year of "The fight" between Yarborough & Allison...

And some "experts" claim that is the race that brought NASCAR to what it is today ?...If all true ?...kind of a shame.

Not sure about the Ferds & yotas, but the Chebby SS is rear wheel drive as a consumer version.
Go to the local tracks and watch all the stripped stockers doing their thing like " back in the day"

The Chevrolet is a rear wheel drive from the factory. Unfortunately, it is from a factory in Australia that is closing down shortly. I think all auto manufacturing in Australia will cease by or during 2017. GM will be the last one to leave. The Chevy is a rebadged/altered version of the Holden Commodore.

Wasn't the "new" GTO of a few years back the same thing...in a 2-door version ?

My brother in law made some good life choices. He is able to indulge his hobby which is to restore, or simply store obsolete race cars. Below is an original Earnhardt car. a couple of years ago he took it to Willow Springs. It was "Cobra Day" but no one resented the Chevy.

^^^^^Sweet!^^^^^

I'm one of those guys that thinks raceing is a waste of natural resources.

And there are many that think the same thing about riding motorcycles for pleasure.

I don't care much about NASCAR even though I was born and raised in NASCAR country but that is really cool!

Last nights Xfinity series race had quite a finish starting with a rain delay and a crash near the 10-to-go mark that took out a dozen or so cars.

Wow! Last lap at the finish line was not kind to the fans nor Austin Dillon's 3 car
Glad all survived that scary scene.

Oh yeah.....for those who can't see the races as more than driving in circles, try walking away from this as Dillon did. This is a real tribute to experience, equipment and engineering...... all of that trickles down to our own motor vehicles. He is going to be some kind of sore, but he is alive- and walking and waving

Due to some NASCAR SNAFU- you can click here to get to the NASCAR site to take a peek-

It's Bristol tonight
If you were lucky enough to see the opening ceremony, you saw something special.
Looks like a good race, almost 160,000 fans at the coliseum.
