Ben Kennedy says they brought in extra food trucks and additional staff to work bars and concession stands overnight after some fans reported a negative experience on Saturday.
Remarkable info shared on the Prime broadcast: Chase Elliott, William Byron and Alex Bowman will make their 286th start as teammates today, tying Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson & Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the second most for any teammate trio all-time.
The record is 301 starts together for Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth at Roush. The current Hendrick trio could break that record before the end of this season.
I’m so glad @NASCARonPrime was given the nod to represent our NASCAR during this incredibly big day for our sport. What an absolute slam dunk production.
It’s time our series takes how our series is presented seriously and hold broadcasters responsible.
The Cup boys have strung together five green-flag laps so far. Some great professional racing out there in front of this huge crowd.
Blaney is the leader over Preece, SVG, McDowell, Smith.
Oh no, but now Jimmie apepars to have wrecked! Still green.
Agree. Hocevar left the property when his driving duties were done, returned to do our live show even though we started it 3 hours late, and stayed the whole show. That's going above and beyond.
We got a lot of races left to try to win with @Carson_Kvapil this year. Only thing one can do is look forward and seize on the next opportunity. Only heartbreaking to look back. That's racing. This sport can be cruel. But there's another race next Saturday and the next and so on.
If you’re around tomorrow and want to say hi, I’ll be at the Arby’s area at 9 (for those in red zone) and at the bottom of the bridge for tweetup at 10 (for those in green zone).
PSA: Get to the track earlier than you think!
I’ve gone exploring during the red flag and several fans have stopped me with less-than-ideal reports about several areas running out of food and the trams being basically unusable due to crazy lines (and each one only holds 16 people, I’m told). One fan spent $1000 for his Hangar Club ticket and walked from the ferry to his seat and said it was five miles in total, and he’s so upset he isn’t coming back tomorrow.
