I have sat all over the speedway and I prefer the backstretch... Most of the action (wrecks) takes place there... Average ticket is 60 bux

I'm interested to see how the new composite front ends do. Especially since now if you bump another racer, you will basically need a new front end. No more of this "hammering it back into place" bullshit.

Also, I love that the cars don't look like they are crab walking as bad this year.

Where did I say that numb nuts? I said that since they are composite front ends, that they won't just "tear apart" like the old bumpers last year. They will break and shatter like an Indy car, or F1. Meaning that it's going to really screw with Aerodynamics. So they will most likely have to have spare front bumpers and rear bumpers for the cars.

If they bump draft, it could lead to damage that is not easily replaceable by tape.

I never said you did?? Where did you get that impression?? NASCAR for the past few years thought about banning it and since I am not a huge fan anymore I figured I'd ask in here and maybe someone who knows the sport real well could answer my question.... So when did I say you said that??

I thought you were responding to my comment. I wasn't trying to be a dick but there will be no bans on bump drafting.
