I didn't go Wednesday because Kyle was racing. Great driver but it gets old and not very fun to watch when one driver dominates. Both major series formats SUCK but fans keep paying to see it so it will never change. And since the fastest cars start at the front of all the races and Kyle is faster than anyone I made the right choice and watched it on TV.

? No driver is, or has ever been unbeatable. Steve Kinser lost 23 races in 1987 and was considered invincible. Schatz in his hayday and Larson today are about as close to Kinser's 1987 as we've gotten, but I would never say in any of the years of Kinser, Schatz, or Larson's 2020 for example that there were other drivers as good. That's just silly. At the pace Larson is once again setting this season, claiming others are just as talented is just ridiculous. They're not.

I feel like you're confusing me with someone else who posted above. I'm certainly not saying Larson is unbeatable.
Back to my original line of thought. Let's say you pay to go to a race put on by a traveling sanction that has one outstanding driver, a couple of drivers almost as good, and a bunch of regional and local guys who don't stand much of a chance. If the outstanding driver stomps the competition big time, is that entertaining?

Our fanbase sure seemed mesmerized when Steve Kinser did it for decades at an even higher frequency...

You never saw the "anybody but Kinser" signs?
Back 40 years ago, the WoO circus only came to town about once a year, so it was a novelty. This year, my local track has WoO races 8 nights out of 20. Is having two big traveling sanctions with high dollar teams beating the locals still entertaining?
