The double file restarts have been great since they were brought back.

I agree. If it means we had to put up with the lucky dog circus (developed for Dale Jr, imo), I'd much rather have the lapped cars in the rear.

Oh we only had one disagreement and I'm sorry for the way I came off. I was a way off on how I handled that and I'm sorry it was a bit stressful around here last week. Other then that I think we are solid?

Yeah, me too. We're good.
 
I like the chase format for the most part. Fans whined and complained when Kenseth, I think, won the championship after not winning a race. The chase puts an emphasis on winning races to get bonus points. I'd much rather see that than a driver being content to ride around the track just for points.

It's mostly Jr fans that don't like the chase format. :laugh2:

I like the Chase format....I am a Jr fan. He is the reason he doesnt make the Chase. He makes stupid mistakes in every race, loses his composure, and so forth....also he runs into some bad luck sometimes, as an innocent by stander who gets taken out in a wreck....but this happens to a lot of the drivers. Just seems that with Jr, it happens more. Hopefully, he will continue with this newfound aggression...cause that kind of driving is in his bloodline and if he does stay aggressive, I see him making the Chase, year in and year out.

My 2 biggest beefs with the sport are

1. like 5 networks have the TV contract throughout the year. I like NASCAR on FOX as far as NEXTEL Cup....give me the Nationwide on TNT. I feel those two can adaquately cover the sport and we will know where to find the race every week.

2. I know it is tradition, but can we move the Daytona 500 to the last race of the season, since it is the Super Bowl of NASCAR?
 
The chase format is ok, I guess. I wish they would move the races around so each style of track (short track, 1.5 miler, superspeedway, road course) would all be represented.

Also, why not go back to Rockingham or why not add a second race to Darlington instead of going to California and/or Pocono twice? The reasoning for California, I'm sure, is because of Roger Penske, but I have no idea why they go to Pocono twice. I do know they have been visiting Pocono twice since I began watching back in the mid-80's.
 
The end of the race was awesome! I was a little bummed about Tony Stewart's run on Sunday,but that was one heck of a finish and I'm happy for McMurray.

Now that I am in the Charlotte area, I am going to hit a race this year for the first time in years, I am pretty excited!

The tv coverage jumping around drives, no pun intended, me crazy.

I would tend to agree with you, that it should be later in the season. The only problem is that the Chase can be wrapped up before the last race or two. Maybe have Daytona be the start to the chase or the end to the regular season.

I think Daytona 500 is a great race to start the season.
