I was unable to watch this race live and for some reason my DVR didn't record either so I thank you for putting the race on youtube. I have been going to races since 1969 and I always watch every week either in person or on TV. Keep on doing what you do to keep this sport alive and well.
I wish NASCAR would have a different announcement team for YouTube. No need for these commercial breaks with no commentary if you have a separate announcement team.
"Alliance"? Doesn't that imply that both sides bring something of value to the table? I thought the relationships between organizations such as RCR and Germain existed because one was purchasing from the other that which they couldn't create well for themselves.
"Playoffs" sound like something that only the best can be part of. It sounds like a category that would only include those who've achieved something fairly unique and hard-earned. Then NASCAR comes along and says "we'll take half of the entrants and call them playoff teams....and we will also let the lowest finishers of the year continue to race against the playoff contenders and affect the outcomes of all of the playoff races in multiple negative ways." What a strange sport.
