This series is not what most would think of when you say "short track" in the traditional sense, but I liked it and it was exciting as hell to watch these cars on this 7/8ths of a mile track. Nice choice of events!

^ I knew that IRL isn't a traditional Short Track series, however it was on a short track, and with lap times in the teens, I figured it has the "in a blender" effect that Bristol has. Good race. I had forgotten they were there last year, so I had thought this was their first time there.

Anyhow, I hope my picks didn't scare anyone off, it was a very short list of players
