Atlanta and wild finishes
What is it with Atlanta and having wild and crazy finishes to its races. For a second I thought the finish to the truck race would be 4 wide coming to the line, Then it looked like the man in 5th would be coming to take the checkers.
Whatever they have done to make that place work so well for side by side and close finishes somebody needs to take a serious look at, because its a great recipie for racing, its a great track, and they need more places with multiple grooves for great side by side racing.
Here's a thought, Ryan Newman took the pole with a lap at nearly 194 mph average, makes you wonder if that place had some fresh asphalt what kind of speeds they would be running. Can you say qualifying at over 200 miles per hour? I think its incredibly possible when they repave Atlanta in the future. Its going to be very interesting to see how NASCAR would handle that, I'd like to see a qualifying lap over 200 mph again, whether its at Daytona or Talladega, NASCAR should use it to its benefit, if Indy Cars can go 230 easily. I don't see why a Cup car cant sell itself going 200.
