Cup RACE thread --- Phoenix

Its Phoenix baby!!!!, lets do some racing in desert
 
Chase Elliott just oneupped Jeff Gordon on how to **** up start.
 
I am at work.What happened to Elliott?
 
I’m jealous of the weather Phoenix is having, I wish I lived there,
 
In all actuality that rule is blatantly stupid. When the leader decides to go or the green flag waves its the leader’s job to get up on it. If he doesnt make it to the line first then so be it, the 2nd place driver did a better job. That rule/penalty is the antithesis to racing.
 
Well, that was a bad start for Elliot, but it's still early in the race, shouldn't be too hard to overcome and get back up there.
 
The rule isn't stupid --

the Pole Winner should start alone in the "front row" -- but since they start side by side NASCAR mandates the LEADER leads at the Green Flag at the START of the race.

It's Chase's responsibility to jump on his brakes and stack up the whole field causing a massive chain reaction wreck that NASCAR can then show in highlight reels for the track in question for years to come.

It's not a stupid rule, but there should be contingency for when the leader spin his tires on the start.
