Lee Roy I sure don't like wreck fest but if your idea of an exciting race is wire to wire single file green flag racing it must be a dull existence.

I think everyone is way off. The "wrecking" part of a Bristol race, at least as far as the night race goes, ended when "The Chase" started. Drivers that were on the bubble to make the chase were more conservative and drivers almost locked in or drivers locked out were less aggressive around these bubble drivers. The track had nothing to do with it.
My favorite Bristol race, which was considered by many "boring", was the 2005 night race. Kenseth led over 400 laps of the 500 lap race. I think the only time he was passed on the track was by Jeff Gordon earlier in the race. Most of the laps he didn't lead were on green flag pit stops. It was the first time I saw Matt win in a NASCAR series race in person.I'm choosing Joey Logano as my avatar. I feel he is a worthy ally.

It's not the wrecks per se, but rather the warlike atmosphere Bristol used to have. Furthermore, when crashes happened sometimes it didn't completely ruin a teams' race, they'd just go from potential winner to battling in the mid-pack.
