Gotta say the Xfinity Series is killing it with the Darlington throwbacks this year.

Why did I know Larson would be the winner of the Xfinity race at Bristol before I even clicked NASCAR.com for the results?

Why am I not surprised he was the very dominant winner of the Cup race?

Because it's tradition that whenever Hendrick Motorsports suffers some sort of tragedy, their most dominant driver ends up winning the very next week.

This week's race at Bristol was hot garbage, and not due to Kyle Larson's dominance in all three races. Changing the tires has not helped at all (there was supposed to be quite a bit of tire falloff - there was barely two tenths of a second of falloff after over 100 laps), and the racing product is terrible. The stands looked half empty. The Cup car's short track package does suck, but all three races were not good. Bristol may need to lose one of its dates if it continues putting out such a terrible product - people are whining about the car, but I think the issue is the track. Get rid of the progressive banking.

I don't see NASCAR dumping a Bristol date.  The daytime Spring race always has less of a crowd than the night race.  That crowd was thin enough that it made me think that maybe I ought to go attend next year and take advantage of the lack of people.

I have heard rumors that if the Cup Series ever goes back to the Nashville Fairgrounds that it will get one of Bristol's dates.

All things considered, I've enjoyed Rockingham's return.

Thank god they didn't wreck on the final lap at Talladega today. That possibility had me stressed for most of the day.

I was deathly ill that day and missed the race, or any preceding tragic news involving the Hendrick family or Hendrick Motorsports. What happened?

Jon Edwards, Hendrick's director of racing communications, passed away suddenly the Thursday before the race at Bristol.
