However, a lack of passing opportunities was not what went “wrong” with Sunday’s race at Mid Ohio. The race that I watched had a bunch of passing, just none in the top-2. The way that race played out, we could have run 300 laps on a track with 17 different passing opportunities per lap, and we’d have wound up with the same top-2. Dixie and Power were on their own planet, and as it turned out, Power didn’t have anything for Dixie, either. The clear fastest car on the day was Dixon, and the clear second fastest was Power. Nothing was going to change that. What I’m saying is that if the TV guys can put some more emphasis on watcing gaps and laptimes along with tracking the actual back-in-the-pack passes (which we saw plenty of, anyway), we’d get an even better idea of the story of the race, which is not just good for us dyed in the wool types, it’s good for the neophyte, too. Anything that’s better for understanding what’s happening on the screen is better, period. That’s not in place of passing, it’s in addition to passing. That’s all.
