Like T-Bolt said, they screwed up the track with the reconfig last year. Now the most exciting race in NASCAR (and that doesn't take much) is a snoozer compaired to the way it used to be.
1) The Shrub did wail him back pretty much right away except it didn't work out lol.

2) I do agree the reconfiguration of the track makes for boring racing but the real problem with Bristol stems from the introduction of the Chase back in 2004. I was there for the final Winston Cup race in 2003 and it was incredible. The next year so many people were trying not to lose points for fear of not making the Chase it was a snooze fest and has been ever since. I think Richmond is now better than Bristol because half of the Chase field is locked in and actually driving for a win and the other half is desperate to make the Chase so they're willing to take risks.

3) The COT sucks, plain and simple. There is very little excitement and I for one DVR the races so I can skim through the 90% that's boring as hell.
