I'll take Darlington over Kansas or Chicagoland any day of the week. It may not have as much side by side racing, but is is raceable. Look at the finish Ricky Craven and Kurt Busch had there a couple of years ago, or the one Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton had back in '97. Kansas did luck out last year with the finish between Nemechek and Rudd, but those tracks just bore me to tears. There isn't anything inherently wrong with a 1 1/2 mile track, Atlanta, Charlotte, and the new Homestead configuration show that, but the medium banking just doesn't work.
