Frontstretch Fan Q & A will run on Thursdays with a whole new set of Fan Questions and Answers!
Later on, Nick Drake and Brandon Jones also blew left front tires just as the Halftime caution came out. Believe me, if this were a regular broadcast, there is no way that the tires wouldn't have played a bigger role in the broadcast. At the bare minimum, pit reporter Kaitlyn Vincie should have done a brief piece on the issues and talked with crewmembers in the pits to get some kind of an idea what was going on. There was a cameraman assigned to follow Vincie around the pits as well. Perhaps this proposed piece on the tire issues was actually done, but cut from the telecast. If so, that's a bad decision. I know that the K&N Pro Series East and West Divisions run bias-ply tires as opposed to the radials in the Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series (excluding Eldora), but I cannot think of an excuse for the issues that we saw in this race. The cars are faster than they were in 2008, but Goodyear could put together a bias-ply tire that can handle average speeds of 117 in race trim at Watkins Glen.
I hope you enjoyed this look at FOX Sports' telecast of the K&N Pro Series East Bully Hill Vineyards 125. Next week, I'll be back with another column as we close in on 400 critiques in total. Until then, enjoy this weekend's action at Bristol, Spa-Francochamps, Sonoma and VIR.

From Beyond the Cockpit: Justin Boston on Beginnings, Transitions and a Bristol Debut
"I try to stay away from that. Brennan Poole has enough superstitions and rituals to cover about half the garage. I always put my left glove on first, I always put my watch in my left shoe, and that's pretty much as far as I want to go with it." - Justin Boston, on pre-race rituals

FRONTSTRETCH TRIVIA:
Wednesday's Answer:
Q: In 1991, Dale Jarrett memorably won his first career race in a photo finish with Davey Allison. At Bristol, Jarrett was in good position to get No. 2 before an unusual issue put him out. What happened?
A: Jarrett was running second just after halfway when the right front wheel appeared to break on the No. 21 Ford. The car went hard into the wall as a result. After the wall contact, the wheel bounced away from the CITGO Ford, bouncing off of the inside wall on the frontstretch. The crash can be seen here. Jarrett was ok, but he was done for the night.~~~~~~~~~~
