KEN'S CALL: The visuals and vibes were worth all the effort. Great racing was obviously too much to ask for, but overall it was a hit and should be repeated every so often. Now, how to define "every so often" ...

On the eve of NASCAR's traditional marathon at Charlotte, is it fair to ask if a 600-mile race is just too much for this generation of fans?

KEN'S CALL: It's a totally fair question and worth a ponder, but NASCAR's wide variety of tracks and races separates it from other forms of racing. A 600-mile grind isn't just Memorial Day tradition, it serves the purpose of variety.

RYAN'S RAMBLE: Sure, it's fair. After all, I was in the house and groggily watched Martin Truex lead 392 of 400 laps in 2016. But I agree, the one 600-miler a year is a cool scheduling nuance. Keep it.
