I really enjoyed it. To be honest it was as good as the real deal but way more funny. Clint Bowyer was hilarious!

Some fallout from the race apparently. Daniel Suarez was blackflagged for the second race in a row this time after having a back and forth incident with Kyle Larson. Larson was punted as well by the race admin for his participation in the wreckfest. Suarez said if this had been a real race he would have kicked Larson's butt. Also Bubba had a tantrum after his incident with Clint Bowyer and parked his car in the middle of the track and quit mid race. He exclaimed that he was getting some hates on Twitter for doing it and told peeps that tough luck and self isolation must suck if they didn't like what he did. In a more serious note his online sponsor Blue Emu didn't take kindly to his actions and cancelled their virtual sponsorship with him stating they were sponsoring drivers and not quitters. There is some concern from RPM that they may pull out of their partial sponsorship as well from his real Cup car. Crazy....

Also Nascar president Steve Phelps said today that all the tracks contracts are up at the end of this year and Nascar won't rule out dropping some races from some intermediate tracks (1.5 mile)and add another road course race and may be add Nashville so there is another short track race. 20 years ago the short tracks and road courses were the least popular venues but now are the favorite races to wach from their internal polling. I agree. I used to hate the short tracks and road courses but love them now.
