blksn8k2 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 The last 60 or so laps were pretty exiting. Brad and BB traded the lead at least three times after the final caution. Well, the last 40 laps weren't so exiting once Keselowski pulled away after passing Busch with about 43 to go. Kinda looked like BB just pulled over and let him go. I guess he decided 2nd place was better than getting turned into the wall. Hard to believe there were no more cautions with that many laps left. Must be a new record... Of course BB had to blame someone else for finishing 2nd and the honor again went to Goodyear. Funny how no one else complained about tires. Also a great run for Lagano to finish 4th after going down two laps. That guy must have passed something like 400 cars in the last three weeks. http://performance.ford.com/series/stock-car-racing/news/articles/stock-car-racing/2017/04/keselowski-wins-martinsville.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdegrand Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Great to see Ford win. Logano really showed his racing ability to finish 4th from being 2 laps down ..after a cut tire and penalty for crew member over the wall. The attendance at these races are dismal. The backstretch seats are conveniently camouflaged to cover the emptiness. Wow, that means half of the entire seating area not being used.

blksn8k2 Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 According to MRN Logano leads all drivers with 386 "quality passes" in the first five races of 2017. That obviously does not include yesterday's Martinsville race. http://www.mrn.com/Vanity-Pages/NASCAR-Loop-Data.aspx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that means half of the entire seating area not being used. Looks like the number of seats on the backstretch is actually pretty small. However, there were a lot of empty seats elsewhere, especially in the lower rows where full track visibility is probably not all that great.

blksn8k2 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 I was curious what constitutes a "quality pass" and discovered that it only includes the number of passes of cars in the top 15. That obviously does not count all the cars a driver would have to pass to get to the top 15 if he had to restart in the rear. Logano has had to do that multiple times this season.
