It’s beyond ridiculous that the third place driver is at a disadvantage on restarts to the fourth place driver. He’s running better than him, but gets screwed on double file restarts? It’s pretty damn stupid. Either so away with double file restarts or have them use the cone file for heavens sake. Should never be a disadvantage to be running *better* than someone. Guess it’s expected from a sanctioning body that’s trying to be sports entertainment than an actual sport. I agree it doesn't make sense the third,fifth, seventh etc. Are at a disadvantage to the car beside them I dont really know how to fix it. It will be to much trouble letting them pick their lane only thing I can think of whatever lane the leader lines up in the odd cars lines up behind him but thats still not a great fix when sometimes teammates let's each other in but it is gotta be something done to fix it . It wouldn't be too much trouble for them to allow all of the lead lap cars to pick their lane. The lapped traffic would then simply fall into line behind the longest line. It happens at short tracks across the country every single weekend. You throw a cone onto the track. Anyone wanting the inside lane goes to the inside of the cone, those who want the outside go around the cone. Wouldn't take anymore time than restart line-ups do now. That'd 'least put the choice in the drivers hands.
Or simply return to single file restarts.

Go get a tissue you crybabies. If it was your driver you'd be jumping up and down.

Tbh I dont really know how the cone thing works but if thats how it works that sounds like a good way to fix the problem .I like the double file restarts I would not like it at all if they go back to single file but they definitely gotta to fix the problem that the inside car having the disadvantage and then you won't have the problem in the pits of drivers counting cars either. Imo it will be a win win situation if they change the rule.

NASCAR is good at throwing changes around so I'm surprised they haven't looked at restarts. Guess my priorities are different than theirs haha.

Yeah they gonna have a huge accident if they keep counting cars they already had some smaller accidents but its gonna take out a lot of good cars one of these days .I dont understand why they haven't tweaked the rule for the restarts yet you hear fans complaining about it all the time. They gotta see they have a problem there like you said they're most the times good at making changes .

Yeah I'm upset Kyle didn't win but I'm ok with seeing Truex. 100 times better then seeing Harvick winning.

Great drive by Hunter-Reay, he really put the pressure on Rossi at the end and that 6.3 second stop the crew gave him was big.

I didnt think he could catch him but then he cut down his lead by 2 seconds in that one lap then he put the pressure on Rossi to mess up and thats what he did. He drove a great last 10-15 laps .

It was no Montoya hitting a Jet Dryer, but it was close.

It sucks that NBC has all the Indycar races from here on out. Townsend Bell is ok, but Paul Tracy is a giant prick, and Diffey is as dull as dishwater.

Glad for an MTJ win. Still not 5 like the cheat Harvick has. Still needs work on pit stops. That crew needs some more chemistry. MTJ can only do so much behind the wheel. If the problems on pit road continue, it won't matter how fast he drives the car, if he's not put in a position to get up front by his pit crew.

I know the main officials aren’t in Texas, but god there was some questionable officiating tonight in the truck race.
Kinda bummed the trucks aren’t putting on good shows (aside from the cluster f*** mini-pack at Vegas) on 1.5 miles anymore. Just like the other series where you get clean air and you gone, you lose the air you’re toast.

Yeah that wasn't a great race for sure I thought Freisen could get the win but just ran out of laps .Sauter has it all going his way right now but Gragson and Rhodes are strong too if Rhodes can ever have some decent luck. I know its to early to tell but Gilliland looks like he could be a star in cup one day if he stays with KBM and Gibbs.

Kurt Busch and Keselowshi on the front row and Kyle Busch and Harvick starting 3rd and 4th for Sunday. Larson gonna come from the back if he's gonna get 4 in a row at Michigan he should be fun to watch.

Throw this aero package in the trash, please.
EDIT: The entire intent behind this aero package is to create racing. However.. second place was essentially "penalized" for trying to pass the leader unless they had someone pushing. That is counterproductive to the entire concept and idea behind this.

I think it worked great in the All Star Open or whatever its called now to get to the All Star race those races could've been some of the best racing I seen all year but I agree it didnt work at all last week and wasnt good today either . Most of the time the driver wouldnt even try to make the pass because they was scared of dropping to the back and when they did over half of the time nobody went with him and he failed to the back of the pack.

I enjoyed the race. I find "pack racing" regardless of the size of track enjoyable. Nothing killed the sport like 1.5 mile races where every car was spaced out 3 car lengths apart for 400 laps and it just looked like a train going round and round in a circle.
