Bottom post of the previous page:
Had a laugh.
Was watching the original Wide World of Sports telecast of the 1962 Southern 500, said to be "the oldest known television broadcast of an American auto Race," and they kept referring to Richard Petty as "Dick Petty". I don't believe I have ever before heard him called Dick Petty.

how will people look back on the legacy of Dale Earnhardt Jr? (retiring at the end of the season)

His legacy is a career of under achievement, but then he didn't have any choice in what he did so I don't blame him for that. I wonder what he'll be like in the commentary booth next year?
I am very sorry if you find my posts long and boring, I like to type and often go off on a tangent.

Just picked up on the news of this. Why is it a big deal? The infield section looks like a go kart track. Is there a race on the full oval too?

It'll add some variety to the schedule mainly. And yes, they will run the traditional 600-mile race on the full oval too.

Onboard lap (without the two chicanes)
Notice the slight height differences in the infield track.
