What’s Happening?
The NASCAR Cup Series returned after an off week with a superspeedway event at Talladega. Despite backlash against fuel-saving racing and the drafting tracks’ aero package, the race gave us a lot to talk about, including controversy, teammates going after each other, and big names crashing out early, but that is not all. So what did Eric Estepp think about Sunday’s race? Find out below by watching this episode of the Groovy Gauge Presented by Lectric eBikes.
Groovy Gauge Score: 60%
- Eric likes fuel-saving racing in a pack more than single-file “logging laps” from previous car generations.
- The “Gridlocking” makes the racing worse due to a lack of movement throughout the pack.
- Eric considers this race a “fine modern superspeedway race,” not terrible, but not good enough.
