A Different Perspective on Fontana

So, as I'm watching the Nationwide race at Fontana, and thinking about how the general consensus on it is "snoozefest," I could hardly disagree more. I personally think it some of the best pure racing on the circuit. I've seen more textbook racing moves today than I typically notice anywhere else. The racing is smooth and nice to watch. There are multiple racing lines, allowing for a lot of passing. Sam Hornish and some guys even got 5 wide at point.

Sure, bump 'n' run is totally absent, but that's okay for me. I wouldn't expect that every week, and wouldn't want it either. I'm okay with few cautions, and next to no wrecks for once. I cringe for the owners when I see million dollar cars getting smashed to hell. Does anyone else feel this way, or is this Fontana race the exception to the rule here?
