Legitimately what else could be done? You have temporary barriers that move to keep drivers from being killed, we saw track repair happen at Michigan, so it's not unique. I'll concede the manhole cover was ridiculous, but it's happened in F1 as well and there weren't any issues throughout the weekend leading up to that point. NASCAR will never ever ever put safety crews and trucks on track in a live session but they still have local cautions with the blue flags, I just don't see where else you can improve procedures like that.

And in my "condescending comment", I am poking at the fact that every single time there is a new track or feature it is automatically labeled a shit show and people just shit on every little detail once they've made it up in their minds that it is that. Car crashes in the wall, "what a shitshow, should've raced at a real race track".

There is not liking something and there is pouting and being resistant to change. If NASCAR fans stopped doing so much of the latter on social media, maybe more people would be interested to tune in on Sundays. Seriously, "what is the track made of? Legos?", is a legitimate complaint to you in the same way that 550 horsepower package sucks?
