Today's Featured Commentary
Potts' Shots For The Week of October 13
Potts' Shots
by John Potts
Dayum! You go along week after week wanting something special to write about, and all of a sudden hell breaks loose.
First off, Saturday evening started out in an interesting way when some friends of mine on Facebook started complaining that ESPN/ABC wasn't covering the start of the NASCAR race at Charlotte. I patiently explained that, by contract, the network couldn't leave a game in progress until it was completed. They reserve about three hours for a college or pro football game. Who knew that Baylor and Texas Christian were going to go over four hours and end up posting a basketball score? It would have been even longer if that Baylor kid had missed his shot at a last second field goal, because they would have gone into overtime. 61-58. Sheesh!
I also pointed out that some of these same people were the folks who continually complained about how boring NASCAR racing is. Well, if you missed the last few laps and the post-race action on Saturday night, you tuned out too early.
On Tuesday, NASCAR announced that Brad Keselowski would be fined $50,000 and put on probation for four events, while Tony Stewart would be fined $25,000 and also serve four events of probation.
A lot of folks seemed to disagree with Tony's punishment, because he was just retaliating for being hit by Brad. Tony's a friend and I'm a fan, but he shouldn't have done it on pit road. It was a pretty classic demolition derby move, though.
We didn't get to see all of the action, but from what drivers are saying, Keselowski went bat-crap crazy in the final laps and after it was over. If anybody had a complaint against him, Matt Kenseth did, because he had his HANS off and was unbuckled when Brad ran into him.
Matt, of course, showed his displeasure by running Brad down to "discuss" it as Keselowski tried to seek sanctuary in his hauler. That's one I would have had to issue some punishment on, simply because every rule book I've ever had any part of formulating had a stipulation about it. If you go to another team's pit or garage area and trouble breaks out, you're automatically at fault. I understand Kenseth's reasoning, though. However, that's how they settled things back in the day.
Denny Hamlin also had an argument to settle with Keselowski, but his crew managed to restrain him before he did anything about it. Some folks say Hamlin blocked Brad on a restart.
Not winning the race, Brad didn't get to do any burnouts on the front straightaway, but he made at least one in the garage area. I saw photos of Robin Pemberton taking pictures of the skid marks on that one, and I'm sure it played a part in the decision.
There were a lot of comments going around about what was going to happen between the race and the announcement of the penalties on Tuesday.
One I found interesting was Kenny Wallace on NASCAR Victory Lane saying the sanctioning body wasn't going to take away any points and mess up a guy's chance to win the championship. The reason it was interesting to me was a case I recalled from way back when. In 1990, Mark Martin was penalized 46 points for having an unapproved carburetor spacer at Richmond. When the season was over, he was second in points, 26 behind Dale Earnhardt, Sr.
Maybe they figured Brad's performance put him in enough of a hole. After winning the first Chase race, he was seventh and second in the next two, but finishes of 36th and 16th in the next two have him in something of a bind. Now he's 19 points out of eighth and may have to win at Talladega this week to advance to the next round. Of course, he's not the only one in that situation.
-
I found it interesting that Kenseth was sent to the tail before the start because his crew placed decal on the car that apparently wasn't there when it was inspected. NASCAR called it an "unapproved" change.
-
One of my former Pure Street drivers from Corbin Speedway suggested a way to really let the "boys have at it" philosophy work itself out. He suggested a demolition derby after the last race at Homestead.

Personally, I don't like having to move critiques of races out of the main Couch Potato Tuesday piece. I view it as a form of demotion. However, as you well know, circumstances arose. They had to be addressed properly, and in doing so, took up so much space that Couch Potato Tuesday would have been too long. As a result, I had to delay my look at the Nationwide telecast until today.
Speaking of college football issues, the Nationwide Series was coming off of a race in which the first 15 minutes of ESPN's telecast ended up on ESPNEWS because a football game went long. Apparently, the NCAA's attempts to shorten game length are not working. Luckily, racing on Friday night meant that not only did college football not encroach on the action, viewers actually got NASCAR Countdown for the first time in quite a while.
Of course, getting that show doesn't necessarily mean that viewers will get a full preview of the race. ESPN did do a slightly better job of it as compared to normal. There was less Chase Elliott fawning as compared to normal, while a more inclusive group of drivers got airtime.
The main feature of the show was a look at the Ganassi Sound Garage, a recent closed-to-the-public event featuring a performance by Cassadee Pope at the Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates shop. The guests were 400 social media movers and shakers and in addition to the performance, there was a Q&A with drivers Kyle Larson, Dylan Kwasniewski and Sage Karam. Why was this piece even the least bit important? The drivers believe that events like the Sound Garage are a good way to introduce motorsports to potential new fans.
Traditionally, fandom in motorsports is the kind of thing that's passed down in families, much like picking up a favorite sports team Sent from my iPhone
Unfortunately, a number of the more traditional race fans have migrated away from NASCAR over the past 10-15 years, angered by rule changes that they believe have hurt the sport. The Chase is first and foremost here, but the common bodies, the COT, the moving of traditional dates, and certain drivers getting driven out of the series in favor of less talented racers with money all play a role. As a result, it's become important to attract younger fans that may not have that kind of a background. Social media is very important to NASCAR these days, not just because it helps them get their message out there, but because it's one of the easiest ways to reach potential younger fans.
Getting the younger fans is crucial for NASCAR's future. According to data from last year compiled by Nielsen and reported on by The Atlantic back in February, approximately 49 percent of NASCAR's audience is age 55 or older. Only the PGA Tour's audience trends older. If current trends hold, NASCAR is going to drop in popularity solely because of a fair amount of the fanbase dying off. Also of note, NASCAR's audience is 94 percent white, the highest of any sport, but also has the highest percentage of female fans (37 percent). As a result, you're going to see more events like the Ganassi Sound Garage in order to help replace fans that have left the sport.
Early in the race, tire wear was a serious issue. The Goodyear DualZone tires were unwinding at an alarming rate. Some observers, most notably our own Mike Neff, believed that the whole thing was overblown. I disagree. Yes, the teams started the race on tires they qualified on. However, we must note that there were 11 laps of caution before the stops. Also, most of the teams that had issues didn't put many laps on their tires. The ones that did seemed to get eliminated early (Ex: Will Kimmel) in incidents that had nothing to do with tires. For example, Brad Kesleowski ran five laps between three rounds. Regan Smith had an early issue, but that appeared to be a cut issue. That can happen anywhere.
ESPN reported the tire issues as if they were a big story. As far as I'm concerned, it was a big story. Thankfully, it turned out to be more of a rubber on the track issue as compared to an actual tire issue. Regardless, I feel that the unraveling occurs too often. Either it's some kind of defect with the DualZone tires, or it's an intentional design feature.
The coverage of the first lap crash was a bit lacking. My impression was the fact that it mainly involved smaller teams towards the back of the field, they didn't feel the need to take the time to get driver input on the situation. Remember, we're talking about a crash in which five drivers were eliminated without completing a single green-flag lap. The second big crash, in comparison, got more coverage due to the fact that Ty Dillon was involved.
ESPN's coverage of the actual racing was decent during the event. The sheer amount of attrition took a number of big names out of the hunt. Having said that, the lions' share of the coverage was still centered upon the top point contenders (Elliott, Smith, and to a lesser extent, Dillon and Elliott Sadler) and the top usurpers (Busch, Brad Keselowski, Ryan Blaney). It should also be noted that NASCAR did not bring out a caution for metal debris on the backstretch with 35 laps to go despite ESPN showing it on-air. The metal, said to be from Jamie Dick's No. 55, was just hanging out on the apron, but laying in wait to cut someone's tire.
Compared to recent Nationwide races, viewers got a little more post-race coverage than normal, which was good to see. When they have the time to do so, ESPN can air good post-race coverage.
I hope you liked this look at ESPN's broadcast of the Drive For The Cure 300. Next week, I'll be back with a look at the Toyota/NAPA Auto Parts 150 from All-American Speedway in California, or the race that makes Michael Waltrip look like a genius. Until then, enjoy this weekend's action from Talladega.

From Beyond the Cockpit with Erica Enders-Stevens: Momentum, Movies and Who's In the Other Lane?
"It's pretty surreal in a sense because I don't view myself as anything special, you know? I'm just a normal kid that with the help of my family obviously and being surrounded by the right people has been able to accomplish a lot of really cool things and hopefully I'm nowhere near done accomplishing stuff like that yet. It's really neat." - Erica Enders-Stevens, on the exposure she received from the movie Right on Track, and how young girls recognize her from the movie.

FRONTSTRETCH TRIVIA:
FRONTSTRETCH TRIVIA:
Q: The 1986 Talladega 500 is best known for extreme heat and the radical attrition that resulted from it (only 14 of the 40 starters finished the race). In the end, it came down to roughly a dozen cars battling for the win. However, a last-lap incident whittled the pack down significantly. What happened?
Check back Friday for the answer, here in the Frontstretch Newsletter!
Wednesday's Answer:
Wednesday's Answer:
Q: Talladega is well-known for instances in which you can be eliminated through no fault of your own. The 1999 Winston 500 is no exception to the rule as Jerry Nadeau was eliminated from the race by pure chance. What happened?
A: Around Lap 80, there were multiple laps of four-wide racing in the main pack. Despite Talladega's racing surface being 60 feet wide, there's only so much you can do at 195. Eventually, Jeremy Mayfield and Rich Bickle made contact entering turn 1. The contact knocked Bickle into Johnny Benson, who was outside of him, spinning both drivers out. Nadeau was directly behind Derrike Cope, who ran into the back of Bickle and hit the wall. In the cloud of smoke, Nadeau had nowhere to go but straight into the wall and into the back of Cope. The crash can be seen here.Benson and Bickle were out on the spot, while Nadeau's crew were able to make enough repairs to get the No. 36 back on track for a couple of laps before retiring for the day. Cope returned to the race after repairs and eventually finished 21 laps down in 37th. Andretti finished three laps down in 32nd.
