I hope that means reducing the size of the Chase field. Making 16 cars eligible for the championship after almost three-quarters of the season is egregious.
Too much drag is also a problem on the speedways with this car. More horsepower and less downforce/mechanical grip would fix the problem, but it seems like NASCAR and the teams still aren't willing to put in the time and money to make any big changes. Taking the rear diffuser away is the least...
On the podcast, O'Donnell implied 750 is the new minimum and it's possible NASCAR will increase it again with the debut of a new engine manufacturer in three years.
This was an interesting discussion about the behind-the-scenes regarding some of the major changes in NASCAR over the past 20 years. Dale Jr. also said a lot of people on the playoff format committee are acknowledging the merits of a full season championship.
I agree it was a good race for the Next Gen car. New Hampshire is the type of track that should have two races, one in June or July and one in October.
