And then Supercross will be perfect
The Shop
We get so little of this sport a week, there is absolutely no need to come into a night of racing this hard, it needs to build as the night goes on... like every other sport. Heats are exciting enough as is but chill enough for the riders (and viewers) to ease into the night before the big "main event of the night" moment. There was no real drama tonight – just that manufactured.
Yes to the chase
I will fully admit that that the triple crown was "more exciting" but it wasn't "as rewarding" as it didn't provide enough time for the true racing to develop – puts way too much emphasis on the first 300 feet of the race. Now, if you could take that excitement of this "anyone can win (but really we know the top guys will win)", stretch it out into five twenty-minute mains at the end of the season I am 100% in. Yes, there is a piece of manufactured drama, but it's not "you have 8 minutes to fix this problem" drama.
Pit Row
Outdoors gets a pass due to tradition.
Chase format, I don’t follow NASCAR so I don’t know all the rules.
Lots of crazy starts, so need a bit of a runoff on the starts if they become the norm.
The fact the racing was amazing tonight (except the last two mains) had absolutely nothing to do with the 3 main format. It was due to Craig getting out front and bunching the pack. It was due to Osborne going down early and burning through the pack. Etc.
