Right, but essentially changing the course with 1-2 laps to go is wrong !!! They should have replaced the one they took out, not create an entirely different obstacle to maneuver around. Nascar seems out to do someone serious bodily harm.

I know I know ………
Before everyone comes at me with pitch forks and torches…….
that was one of the more exciting races this season. Loved It. Edge of my seat while watching.
despite the obvious lack of ‘engineering success’ with turn 6 metal curb/Teflon turtle. Thought rings true just like COTA.
Where I couldn’t even leave the couch Bc so much happening lap to lap.
All affected/crashed drivers Ok
That is number 1 priority.
Could Nascar improve these obvious mistakes with course design?
Definitely.

Did anyone see/notice the moisture and dirt Under the removed steel curb on turn 6?
I think that definitely had something to to do with the failure of that curb.
anyone have more insight?

I was thinking "Bumper cars" or maybe back to "Demolition Derby" ?What a total crap show, Nascar has to be the laughing stock of motorsports and they claim to have "The best drivers in the world".......
They might as well have a figure 8 race to........

Allmendinger's win does clinch playoff spots for Hamlin, McDowell and Almirola ... so the 13 winners and Hamlin are in ... there are two spots left to be decided with two races remaining...

Did Wallace have to serve a penalty for "shorting the course" like Briscoe?
Jeff Burton said he would, but, I never saw it. Besides lack of putting your programming
where we can see it, NBC producers really suck at having the announcers follow up on
those sorts of things.
Never even heard Dinger had a speeding penalty until after the race.
What the heck?
Feel bad for Byron and Bell, both having great days, but, WAIT, let's remove that piece
of junk turtle AFTER they destroy their cars and ruin their days. And, of course, I had 'em
both. What's the odds?
Happy to see the Dinger win again. Missed seeing his cute Wife, which ever # he's on.

That was not a race. You my friend need to see a doctor.

Indy takeaways:
#NASCAR's dynamic Cup schedule again serves series officials with lessons (just as has been the case at other new events this year)
Also, is road course fatigue setting in?

Again, what about Bubba Wallace? He took a hard right through the grass to avoid the one ski jump ramp that was left and Jeff Burton immediately said he'd have to serve a penalty. Yet he ran around in 13th the rest of the race and finished there. Nothing against Wallace, just let's apply the rules evenly.
Seems similar to when they waited to call the one race for too much rain AFTER Kurt Busch slid off the track. So, he takes the hickey and everyone else parks and goes home.
Makes me wonder what kind of contract these car owners have to sign with Nascar. I'm assuming they sign away their rights to sue for stupid Nascar errors that costs them a 1/4 million dollar car or 2. Anybody have any insight?
Here's the penalty report from the race, has Bubba listed on it (lap 89)......

As it stands right now, the 23 has been assessed a penalty for shorting the course, Wheels says on the radio it is being reviewed, and we will see how this goes.
