I had not watched a NASCAR Cup race on TV in over five years. This one may have brought me back into the fold! Must have been awesome to be there...

Dude. I went to Dega. I was not a race guy. My head exploded. I am one now. And yesterdays races were unbelievable.

Great article! I visited the track in 2019 or so. It was fascinating...couldn't get out of the car from the stray dogs that were charged with keeping me away. Wish I had known to befriend Paul Call.

Excellent, as always. I definitely remember hearing the phrase "deep pockets" used to describe the kind of person that was needed to bring the track back when the 2011ish attempt to bring it back failed, perhaps that was the same quote.

Fantastic piece, I attempted to do something similar with my piece on Dega. Keep it up dude. Great writing!
