Then there's the overload of commercials, and never ending caution laps......10 yellow flag laps for a spring rubber on the track, bunch everybody back up for a monster pileup and a red flag.....


The spring-rubber cautions are how NASCAR superficially injects some actual racing back into the one-groove monotony.
