    I have never gotten on here to bash a race but tonights race @ Bardstown was down right terrible. The cars pretty much got in line for fifty laps and stayed there. O'Neal couldn't even pass the back of the field. Never seen a race that bad.

      I saw this exact same race 2 years ago at Bardstown, except it was Ray Cook playing the role of conductor and it was 60 laps with NO passing, not even of back markers.

          No need for better track prep, the fans keep coming back every year for this race. As long as he packs the stands full of people, nothings going to change. And yes., I'm 1 of the dummies that keeps going back.

                  i made my first and last trip to bardstown the year cook won whick is the absolute worst race i ever saw in my life. you cant see the front stretch from the front stretch seating and takes for ever to get out of the place. doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is called insanity. obviously the fans down there love this kinda racing tho.

                    No. The fans do not like this type of racing. Believe me when I say that the promoter has had every opportunity to address this and other issues. Still nothing. I will be glad when the race tracks in Kentucky start to understand that there are more than their own personal views that matter. Bardstown is a great facility, great food and friendly enough people, but racing there is at best boring and excessively ignorant.

                      I wish I had believed the post I read about how bad the racing was here, but I didn't and drove 360 miles one way to see the worst race I ever seen in my life. Nice facility except you can't see the front straight from the stands, but the racing was some of the worst I've ever seen. Mark this one off our list and won't ever come back.

                        Horrible race and track preparation PERIOD!! You heard it hear first...... As I was leaving the racing facility last night, I stopped to use a port-a-john in the pit area. This was probably 1.5 hours after the race was over and most of spectator parking had cleared. As I was relieving myself I could hear two gentlemen talking close by. One guy said, "What happened tonight is exactly what so many drivers have been complaining to us about for sometime about this facility. I think tonight I finally witnessed something that will not be tolerated by racers and fans alike. I can't imagine the phone calls and emails I will be receiving about this one. I think this is something we should take a hard look at moving forward." As I came out of the port-a-john, these two guys were walking off. They were two LUCAS OIL officials. They entered the LUCAS OIL truck that was parked just inside the pit area, above turn four. Personally, the race sucked and I will not attend another event at this facility. It is really a shame.

                          Bardstown was never like this in the late 90's through about 2005 or so. It just seems as if the last 5 or 6 years the racing surface has really went downhill. I always loved going down there years ago with Bob Pierce.

                                Really unfortunate the way the race turned out. Such a nice facility.
