Track owner Bruton Smith has said it. Driver Jimmy Spencer has said it. Now, Richard Petty has said it. Too many Winston Cup races have been boring.
New tracks are eager to sign up to host races.
As Petty points out, the emphasis here is on racing. According to Petty, the problem is there are too many good cars and drivers on the race tracks. There are more good cars than when Petty was racing because more money is in the sport and the technology is better. No team wants to be a backmarker in races. Trenton's dog leg in the backstretch helped make the races interesting.
