It was a total farce brought on by NASCAR and the France family. The tire switch that they pulled after testing, prior to the race threw every team totally off track.
I truly have to question the motivation of some of the decisions made the past 2 seasons.

Actually, it wasn't that bad a deal.
There weren't more cautions than one could normally expect to see on a 1.5 mile banked track. The high caution count during the Busch race, just goes to prove why the drivers are running Busch. Not meant as a slam on them, but they are in the Busch Series with the aspiration of moving up to Cup. They can tend to be a little over aggresive.
You have to remember that Bruton Smith, the owner of the track, also own Lowes Motor Speedway and the fiasco that occured there with the "levigation" process. What was it? Twenty-three cautions?
NASCAR remembered and they did not want a repeat.
Yeah, the tire was too hard but the best drivers in the world can take whatever equipment and tires NASCAR mandates and have on a good race.
The race featured the most passes for the lead at the track and NASCAR stats show a total of 1,123 passes for position under green in the 2 events.
What you witnessed Sunday was racin' the way it used to be, sideways and hanging on.
It doesn't get any better than waching a car that is out of control pass a car that is out of control.

I thought it was pretty decent overall. It did suck that they changed the tire composition on them last minute but the better drivers and teams rose to the top. It will be really good when the track gets a little worn and they come back with a softer tire. You will end up seeing a lot of 3 wide racing here eventually. Did anyone else think that Kyle Busch dropping WAY below the white line was kind of cool? A lot of the wrecks early in the cup race were by the less experienced drivers (except for Robby's stupidity) and then it settled down until the end.

I don't know if it was more the track or the tires they made them run. Did you hear them coming out of the pits? They were so hard it sounded like a squeaky belt when they took off. The track will get worked in but I think it could have been better if more thought would have been put into the tires they made them run. Thank god they had the safe barriers up.

Seemed OK. I wasn't driving on it, so I can't say for sure. It happens with all new tracks, whether repaved or new for the drivers. I'm sure they will love it after a few more races on it.

I didn't think it was bad, considering the new surface. once some races are run on it and, they get some rubber laid down and, surface, worn off, GOODYEAR can develop a softer tire compound for the track.
