Just saw the "NASCAR HUB" on TV. Good explanation and everybody was there from NASCAR, Drivers., and TV people.
It should make for tighter competition.

Remember your post, and go back and read it in about 3 or 4 months and see if you still feel the same way.
I think it's going to be a big jump backwards.

They keep changing the formats to the extent that fans are moving on .I just don't enjoy it like I did 10 years ago not to be negative .I use to have respect for Richard Petty until he dumped on Danica .Although she didn't do as well as I had hoped she did finish ahead of the Petty drivers .

congrats to the 41 ... heck of an effort
I think the only reason he made it, is because he was able to save enough fuel; Chase had it in the bag, till he ran out of fuel. Harvick was still running, even though he was 3 laps down because of "one of the big ones" (I think it was #3) man they wrecked a lot of cars.

I expected this to happen, I knew this new format was going to be trouble, and this "behind the wall and you're done for the day" is BS; there were a lot of cars that could have been competitive if they would have let them back out. And this 5min fix is trouble; those cars are going to cause more problems then they fix. They were trying to make it better racing; instead they have made it worse.

But according to rumors, tickets were sold out. (Full House)

Lots of wrecks in the other NASCAR races also, probably due to "aggressive driving".
The truck series was a demolition derby.
