How can a NASCAR fan go wrong when a race has throwback paint schemes, commentators, reporters, and guests dressed in retro outfits, where one of the stats thrown around is a ‘Darlington Stripe Count‘, and legends such as Richard Petty, Bill Elliott, and Bobby Labonte are helping bring the broadcast to them? On Sunday, it was that and more. The ‘more‘ included commercials, of course.
