Bristol: Scalpers scalped

[Rome]

It was really good to see the scalpers get trimmed at the front gates at
Bristol. Just before race time, the tickets were going @ 2 for the face
price of 1 and in some areas, $25 per ticket. There was an awful lot of
scalpers with hand fulls of tickets at race time.. Looks good on them.

This is a great track and the track improvements are awesome, but it's not
the same as it used to be. After the race, the cars can go to a car show.
No doughnuts on the sides, straight fenders for the most part. It sure
isn't the same as that Earnhardt-Labonte finish a few years back.

On balance, I'm happy for the track improvements.

I expect the teams will get better performance out of
the CoT as time goes on. They're all climbing the
learning curve.
