Bill F. This makes as much sense, which is no sense at all, at the rule for Indy cars where you cannot have a backup car, but you can BUILD ONE from the parts you brought along. Really Nascar, you aspire to be as successful as Indy, why not just ban backup cars altogether and make a rule they have to drive the car there on the roads eliminated the expense of having Haulers? How about this one, You have to trailer the car, but your trailer, preferrably open air, must be pulled by the same Brand as your racecar. And it must be the base model of that vehicle. So a nice base pickup truck with that base model turbo 4. Lets cut the tires down to two sets per race, including practice and qualifying also. And you have to stop and change tire compounds. Any violations would give you grid spot penalties. We see how well that works for F1. I would take it further, how about Grid spot penalties carry over to the next race and if you exceed 40 grid spot penalties, you get a week off. This all ought to really improve racing. How many more rule changes before everyone is driving the same engine all season long. Right ARCA?
This is insane, say goodbye to Nascar.
OK, now that I've pointed out what they are doing wrong how about some thoughts on doing things right.
