Bro same I don't know why I never got the memo they were selling the tickets this year, I also go to the summer race every year and they were playing some game where they would sell tickets and then refund them and then move the seat pattern around because of covid-19, and I remember reading somewhere they were going to announce a date for when they were going to sell the tickets for the 500 this year, called in and was told they were sold out, 3 years in a row and finally have to miss one due to ticket games.

Even as terrible 2013 speedweeks was for Carl Edwards, he still went on to have a solid year. Ran 2nd-3rd in points for most of the season despite not being as dominant as Jimmie, Kyle Busch, & Kenseth, he was rather very consistent much like Clint Bowyer was that same year as both drivers ran 2nd-3rd in points A LOT in 2013. Though Edwards wound up having a rough playoffs, thus finishing 13th in points.

The clash was very boring just like NASCAR normal racing, Jeff and Clint was saying at the first caution that the tires had fallen off 12 seconds, in the racing in the last few years that the 9,#11 and #4 doesn’t have to take tires and their car don’t loose or even gain speed just like the #9 did last night, go figure, he could drive corners as fast or faster than Ryan, is that why stands are empty before the pandemic? Ryan will have to handle getting wrecked by his friend just like Neil Bonnet did to his best friend years ago, Earnhardt wrecked him the next week when Bonnet got to him he wrecked Earnhardt, Earnhardt never touched him again.
