With rain cancelling some practice and Xfinity qualifying yesterday, and rain threatening to halt evening and night activities, the Xfinity Series race was run at Richmond Raceway. Richmond is only a 3/4 mile track, but that means the aero packages don't mean much, it's brakes, suspension, drivetrain, driver, and pit crew that matter. The racing was exciting, going 3-wide through the turns and that is something that drivers don't want to do, but at Richmond they can do it for a couple of laps. Lots of passing, rubbing, and a few tempers flaring. I love short track racing and I do think it's best at night. NASCAR's roots and it does not get any better. Just my dos centavos.
Oh, and I think old Darrell Waltrip's vortex theory on circle track racing and weather was proven last night. The rain bands parted and went around the raceway.
