I was expecting a whole ass borefest but thankfully I was wrong. Wild ass race with carnage, chaos and weather

Thank you for recap. I only had the opportunity to watch the last 80 laps and missed a lot of the action this weekend.

There's always some frustration when the weather is an issue, especially when there's a significant delay. I understood where NASCAR was coming from on many things. For example, not much point in putting wet tires on for 10 laps only to have to throw a red flag anyway when the weather radar shows that there likely will be a chance to get the race properly restarted later on. I agree that some of the calls were odd and things should be in the hands of the teams a bit more. Initially it was baffling when NASCAR was not going to allow new tires on that final stop, before they changed their minds. Having a bunch of cars out there on blistered tires with no grip isn't much more desirable then teams putting slicks on way too soon with a damp track. Outside of that, I thought the actual racing was pretty good on both kinds of tires. I used to not like New Hampshire much, but it's been several years since I recall seeing a race there that didn't enjoy much. I'm glad they finally used the rain tires on an oval where it makes sense. Hopefully, they get some feedback and evolve their race procedures under those circumstances to make things more competitive overall.

Hopefully next time when a low banked or flat oval track is wet, but dry enough for wet weather tires, teams make the decision to use wet weather tires. NASCAR allowing teams to top off on fuel during the red flag makes it less thrilling to see teams endure the burden of fuel strategy, since the burden had so much of it lifted after that, IMO. Communication between teams and NASCAR should improve after this trial and error process, I'm trusting the process so I'm sure the management of a similar situation next time will be much smoother. It might be pretty funny to see if NASCAR tested out a speed limit rule to low banked or flat turns on oval tracks during wet conditions, to reduce the frequency of cautions and "OH COME ON. AGAIN?!" 😄

first race all year I really didn't enjoy at all.
