The track was getting due for a repave and cars going 200mph over a bump caused the track to start chunking.

At least they don't have tracks in such bad comparable condition like Heinz Field a few years ago.

I think a racetrack on which cars travel at 200mph with a pothole on it is worse than any football field.

The pothole wasn't there when they started. As soon as they discovered it, they stopped the race and repaired it.

NASCAR is such a whore! You could have made a drinking game out of the pothole downtime. They pretty much interviewed every driver and it would take them about 5 seconds to pitch their sponsor.

This never effected me in Star Wars Episode 1 Podracer, and they travel at like 700km. And in Mario Kart they actually put potholes in the ground as obstacles, not to mention giant animals. Nascar needs to man up.
