“Stop Watching NASCAR “ – Fans Brutally Bash Atlanta Haters Denouncing the 3-Wide Photo Finish

The second race of the season, the Ambetter Health 400 went down in history as a blockbuster event, enthralling the masses with a perfect photo finish at the end. The 260-lap feature across the one-and-a-half-mile track had all the elements for a weekend thriller. There was lots of drama, the biggest pile-up in the long history of the track, intense racing, and an unexpected 3-wide finish that had the crowd on their toes for a nail-biting finish. However, for some, that did not cut it.

In popular NASCAR journalist, Jeff Gluck’s “X” poll that asked the community, “Was Atlanta a good race?” around 5% voted no. While some confirmed that they did that by mistake, others blatantly called it a wreck fest, thus sparking a fiery debate that stretched the comment section.

Was the NASCAR Atlanta Cup Series race a good one?

The 1.54 miles of Atlanta Motor Speedway is one of the most technical tracks on the NASCAR schedule. The aging track when the surface is cold acts like a typical speedway, fast and flowing. However, once the dust settles in and the rubber starts sticking to the asphalt once the surface heats up, the track gradually changes its character.

Only a seasoned driver can identify this aspect and adapt accordingly. And now, with the curtains fallen on the schedule’s second points race, the attention has shifted to Jeff Gluck’s poll.

This sparked a ferocity in the comment section with ardent NASCAR fans bashing the naysayers, tearing apart their wreck fest narrative into bits and pieces.

Many haters cited the organization’s poor race management and mentioned the numerous cautions and wrecks that happened over the 260 laps of action. Some even denounced the perfect 3-wide finish at the end when Daniel Suarez trumped two of the most talented drivers of his generation, snapping his winless streak in the most thrilling fashion.

Netizens go back and forth as the “X” tug of war wages on in the comments

Fans were ecstatic. They claimed, “The best race I’ve ever watched on TV.” But this doesn’t mean everyone was. Some netizens were not a fan of the wreck-riddled race. But these comments were met with stiff resistance from ardent fans of the sport.

One fan even jokingly took a jibe at Formula One, noting, “If you vote no go watch f1 lol.” Others slammed sarcastically, “Where’s the 3% who voted no I just wanna talk-“

“If you voted No on this, you are a lost cause,” commented an avid fan bashing the hate on the race. Regardless of where you stand, for many, the race fulfilled hearts and gave fans a spectacle, something the ‘Great American Race’ failed to do.
