I found the race one of the better ones of the year. 500 mile races should be about attrition.
A resurface may be useful but its not a necessity. Once again I think it highlighted the need for more ovals on the schedule - short track & superspeedway |

I'd definitely keep Fontana as a 500 mile race, Pocono will be 500 miles next season and along with Indy, maybe we will see the return of the Triple Crown. There are plenty of other ovals, which can be used for 200 mile "sprint" races. |

Both races were the same day. I have no idea if extra was charged but what did prove unpopular was the drivers chosing their grid positions for the second race with a blind draw, which was done on a stage in front of the main stretch.
