NASCAR Spotter Brett Griffin Expresses his Disappointment in How the NASCAR Race at Talladega Ended

Earlier this week, the Cup race at Talladega wrapped up with Ross Chastain winning. The Trackhouse Racing driver overcame a frantic finish to somehow squeak into a victory. However, it appeared that this race finish rubbed some people the wrong way, particularly NASCAR spotter Brett Griffin.

Griffin said, “I hate to say this, man! I love Talladega. That race at the end became a game of chance over a game of skill. It’s because of the way the cars race. I was not impressed with that package at that race track. I thought it was going to be a 10 out of 10, and for me it was not.”

On the run-up to the line, race leader Erik Jones moved over to block Kyle Larson. This effectively opened a window of opportunity to attack, and Chastain was not about to decline an open invitation.

Is the NASCAR racing that bad?

Elsewhere, former NASCAR driver Kyle Petty admitted that some race tracks produced great racing. Meanwhile, other race tracks have left a lot to be desired. He insisted that the fans are far from stupid, and no amount of gimmicks will deceive them if the racing is bad.

At least the drivers are not complaining, even if it did take some getting used to the new changes. Unfortunately, this transitional period did catch out a few drivers and teams in the early races.

According to Petty, the racing is great at tracks that are fairly long, and superspeedway size. He even cited the example of the Atlanta Motor Speedway, which he firmly believed, produced some great racing.

On the other hand, racing at short tracks is hugely difficult with the Next Gen cars. Whatever the case, Brett Griffin clearly did not like how the Talladega race played out. While he probably had no issues with the race as a whole, his primary grouse was about the race finish.
