If you aren't partnered up and bumper to bumper, you aren't going anywhere but backwards.... I don't like it. Might as well as be team racing or pairs ice skating....

I like the idea of it but need to see it for myself. Gonna check in it in a few. Sound better than the long draft lines ups but maybe those still happen.

When a young 20yr old named Trevor Bayne wins the 500.....I'M ALL FOR IT!!!!!!!!!

WHAT A RACE AND THEN SOME!!!!!!!!!

I thought the race was exciting. Congrats to the rookie.

Great race. Awesome for the rookie. Bet David Ragan had a tough night sleeping.

Caught parts of it and the bumper to bumper bump/draft added more dimension and interest for me.

Interesting new concept, fluidity/strategy of team mates interesting, green/white/checker still the same...only need to watch the last 10 laps.

Aside from watching the wrecks on SportCenter the next day, I don't get the allure of Nascar. It's obviously a big deal when 100k people show up to the track, but I just don't get it.

But, people say the same to me when I'm watching golf.

I think it was different and a great way to add something to a sport that was getting boring. The restricted intakes limiting cooling area to 50 sq inches, ( not the restrictor plates) on the front grill along with the pressure relief lines that NASCAR officials added during the week helped eliminate a drivers ability to push forever you still had to come out of it or the pusher was going to throw coolant out and thus overheat. Nice coverage by FOX with the heat pictures showing what was actually happening with the engines.

And that moron that yells go Junior everytime he goes by.

I'll be interested once they get to Bristol, until then IDC.

What's a Nascar??? :huh:

Seems to me the more they do to tighten things up and force the bump drafting the more crashes with more cars involved there are. You would think they, as an organization, would be against that for safety reasons. It was nice the see the Woods Bros. white and maroon 21 in front at Daytona again. Am I dating myself back to the days of unrestricted big blocks?!?!?!?!?

wait till next year when the put Fuel Injection as a requirement, still apparently with restrictors at the big southern tracks

What's a Nascar??? :huh:

I hear some people even have nascar fantasy leagues!!

NASCAR is Latin for low intelligence.

Nice.:rolleyes:The type of typical responses I expected.

I expect this childish stuff in the politics section,including from me.But this WAS a legitimate discussion about racing reduced to the stupidity of the politics forum.Joking or not,good going Nebe and TDF way to wreck a thread.

Back on topic. I still can't get used to the idea of bump drafting. Used to be that would make for a fight after the race if they even waited for the race to end. Too much crashing and too many caution laps because of it. Might be time to make it against the rules. Back to drafting and passing, four wide at Talladega baby!!!

F-1 racing is where it's at. They even race in the rain.
