What's the over/under on laps completed until fans implore Bristol be "fixed" again?

Bristol really does like to treat its customers like idiots:

Spoiler:

I can describe this weekend in three words.

DANICA, DANICA , DANICA!!

Looks like they went to the Eddie Gossage School of Marketing.

That's probably an overestimate

Can't blame them for trying to promote something, but I can see why you would think that is wrong.

No offence to those two, but to me it looks like they've been at school and are cross with being giving a a week of homework to do.

It is raining at Bristol. If qualifying is rained out, starting gridis determined by first practice speeds putting CASEY MEARS on pole. Inb4wreckinturnone

Lets look at the bright side Jimmie Johnson starts in 37th.

It's official. Qualifying rained out.

EVEN MORE WAT

Casey Mears will be in the Daytona Shootout and Brad Keselowski isn't.

WAT

No one gets in the shoot out if qualifying is rained out.

Well, f***. I want him in the Shootout anyway.

When did the shootout go back to using pole winners?!?

And considering how they determine qualifying now, I can't see why they can't do that (at least they are using speed now)

They've changed it 2012 Pole winners, and previous Shoot Out winners that have attempted a race in 2012, which means FAS Lane Racing are in the Shoot Out next year.

Almorola in 3rd! YES
If Casey wins i will bow down

I am in love with the Miller Lite paint scheme. Leave it to ABC/ESPN to cutout right before the schrader "I am not happy with you" moment

Proving you didnt just luck into the pole:
YOURE DOING IT RIGHT
At least for now.

Not going to lie. I was pretty impressed how Casey Mears managed to hold off Keselowski and Logano in the first 25 laps of the race.

LOL @ Ken Schrader's "Wtf, man?" look to Leffler.

Great run by the 43 & 31

Well, they do seem to be bumping and banging...

... Cue people complaining about the drivers driving like amateurs...

And they are playing bumper cars in pit road!

The way this race has turned out so far, not sure if new Bristol or old Bristol.

Im enjoying this race. The Johnson/Biffle thing should be fun to watch.

This race is the exact 180 of what Bruton Smith wanted...

But it's not that bad of a race so far

Montoya wrecks someone........no suprise there.

Montoya just went full retard, and straight up wrecked Newman.

If he wants to fix his car, and get back out just to punt montoya, I say it's totally justified. Uncalled for on Montoya's part

I need to see a better replay. I thought Newman came straight down on Montoya.

Newman might have come down a little, but Montoya went straight up

Newman came down on Montoya like he wasn't even there.

well that sucks for Brad.

inb4 labonte needs to retire

Brad was already loose, and Labonte had nowhere to go.

Before someone starts complaining about Labonte, I would like to point out that Keselowski was already sideways when he was tapped.

Labonte needs to not run next year and chill at the house.
